"When I returned home, it was as if something had set my heart on fire, I told my parents I wanted to be a priest. I had that seed of a vocation in my heart," he said. "Now I'm a deacon and no words can express the very profound joy I have in my heart."
The seminarian said that even though he is studying in Europe, his desire is to return to China as soon as possible to preach the Gospel there.
Life as a Chinese Catholic is difficult. Mass is celebrated in family homes, and people must be careful not to talk about their faith explicitly, because the authorities could be listening. However, living with the risk of arrest is worth it, Wang said, because "we want to have the Truth, it's what you have to do despite the cost."
One of the worst moments he faces, he said, is when he has to enter China without the authorities discovering that he is a seminarian.
"When I'm in line to enter and I have the passport in my hands, I start praying to the Virgin: 'My mother, help me. My mother, help me.' And everything has always gone well even though the dangers are real. God always helps me," he said.
Regarding the recent accord between the Holy See and the Chinese government which initiates the integration of the underground Church with the Patriotic Church, the seminarian stressed the importance of unity.
"There are some who say the accord is good, and others who don't think so. But above all we have to pray a lot and follow what the Church says, because the Devil wants to divide the Church and knows how to do it," he said.
"God gave the key to the papacy to Saint Peter and that's part of our faith, and either we unite ourselves to Peter or we're not going anywhere."
