Fr. '''Michael (Wang) Quansheng''' is a [[priest]] who resides to this day in Shanghai. Until now, still harbouring fears of retribution, he has chosen not to meet or have contact with anyone from the West nor prepared to receive catechumens or unfamiliar Orthodox visitors.
in 2008 Fr. Mikhail Michael Wang Quansheng and Protodeacon [[Evangelos Lu Yaofu]], the only indigenous Orthodox clergy left in China, took part in Divine Services for the first time in 46 years, at the Russian consulate in Shanghai, and were awarded medals of the Venerable Sergius of Radonezh (I Degree) by Patr. Patriarch [[Alexei II (Ridiger) of Moscow|Alexei Alexius II of Moscow]].
