About Zhang Bairen
Lived 1915 – 2005 (aged 90). Zhang Bairen was a Chinese catholic priest and catholic bishop.
Peter Zhang Bairen (14 February 1915 – 12 October 2005) was the unofficial Bishop of Hanyang, China.
Chinese authorities did not officially recognize Bishop Peter Zhang; however, he was officially consecrated as a monsignor within the Roman Catholic Church in 1986, by Liu Hede, the unofficial Bishop of Hankou. In an unusual concession, local authorities permitted Zhang's funeral services to be open to the public.
The funeral took place in October and was attended by both official and unofficial clergy members.
