News of hopes that "the first Catholic in Shanghai" and "Catholic Chinese imperial official" "may also be proclaimed a saint along with Father Matteo Ricci" — Hopes for Ricci’s helper to become a saint too.
The duo "collaborated closely in Beijing to translate Western texts on mathematics, hydraulics, astronomy, trigonometry and geography into Chinese," and "also translated Confucian classics into Latin so as to introduce the dominant Chinese philosophy to Europe."

I went to listen to Dr Anthony Clark give a presentation on Matteo Ricci method of Evangilization (http://celledoor.blogspot.com/2010/05/matteo-ricci.html) this past Saturday. I made a bootleg and at about 1:12:44 in, he talks about the rumors of Matteo Ricci's canonization. As an official researcher in the Vatican archives, he hasn't seen any evidence of this happening.
Thanks for the link and the audio. I'll have to give it a listen.
