Father Frédéric-Vincent Lebbe (雷鳴遠) (1877-1940) was a Roman Catholic missionary to China whose advocacy led the pope to appoint the first native Chinese bishops. Born in Belgium, he chose to become a Chinese citizen at a time when missionaries, like all Westerners, enjoyed legal privileges in China, including immunity from Chinese law. He was captured by the Chinese Communists in 1940 and died later that year.

That’s cool. He sounds like he would be a great candidate for being canonized a saint.
 
Let us pray for it. I believe his canonisation will be a great expectation of all the Chinese Catholics.
 
Also look up a guy named Takashi Nagai. I think he would also make a great saint, if he already isn’t canonized already 🙂
