Biography
Guo was born in Chengde, Hebei, in February 1968. He was illicitly made the Bishop of Chengde in 2010 by the Bishop of Yongping, Fang Jianping (Chinese: 方建平) that year. The consecration was made without consent of the pope and as a result, all involved were excommunicated latae sententiae. On December 9, 2010, Jincai was elected vice-president of Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association.
On September 22, 2018, Pope Francis lifted the excommunication of Jincai and other six bishops previously appointed by the Chinese government without a pontifical mandate.
