Lu Rendi is a local Tibetan villager, whose name is derived from a Hebrew name. In 1992, Lu Rendi went to the Beijing Seminary of Catholic Church for study, returning to Yanjing Village after his graduation.

He was once the only Tibetan priest in Tibet.

According to him, before the founding of New China, there were 17 foreign missionaries here at the Yanjing Catholic Church. The church was originally a civil structure. In 1985, with support from government funds, the church was rebuilt, and it was restored again in 2002.

The church includes a main worship area, bell tower, and activity area. Its architecture integrates Chinese and Western styles and embodies Tibetan characteristics.
