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 () 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.
