Zhang Bairen
Template:Use mdy dates Template:Family name hatnote
Peter Zhang Bairen (February 14, 1915 – October 12, 2005) was the unofficial Bishop of Hanyang, China.[1]
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.[1]
Monsignor Zhang spent twenty-four years in prison and labor camps following his continued loyalty to the Pope (1955–1979).[2] In an unusual concession, local authorities permitted Zhang's funeral services to be open to the public.[1]
The funeral took place in October and was attended by both official and unofficial clergy members.
