He continued, 17 years after quitting meat, he didn’t even eat seafood until 2006, “It’s a mentality, circle of compassion, because when you see the fish, Qu Yujia, I feel too unbearable in my heart that the kind of compassion (mentality) will appear." So he decided not to eat fish, but he still kept eating eggs, emphasizing that the eggs currently eaten are usually not fertilized. .

To describe a good philosopher should know how to communicate with others, and even the children on the roadside should understand his words.

He also pointed out that in the past, when missionaries went to foreign countries to spread the gospel, they also hoped to improve the lives of the locals, establish groups, etc. "But there will always be trade off (choices), and sometimes the missionary will change to replace the culture of the people, and change oneself.

The new Catholic Bishop Zhou Shouren tried to build a Catholic university: education should not serve to promote economic service. The Catholic Diocese Office issued a guideline: the restoration of mass worshipers into the church from Thursday can save peace of mind.
