Augustinus Zhao Rong was an 18th-century Chinese Catholic priest who became a martyr in 1815. Born in Wuchuan, he initially served in the Qing imperial army before his life changed while guarding a Christian prisoner. This encounter led to his conversion and subsequent baptism. As the first Chinese-born diocesan priest, he dedicated his life to ministry, eventually overseeing Catholic communities in western Sichuan Province before his arrest and death during religious persecutions.
