The counter-revolutionary and restorationist crimes of Catholicism before Liberation
mid 1960s
Publisher unknown
54x38 cm.
BG D25/101

A two-part series detailing the counterrevolutionary activities and "crimes" perpetrated by the Roman Catholic Mission in China before and after 1949. Both series are incomplete: the first part lacks the opening sheets; the second part lacks at least one sheet, and possibly more at the end.
Due to this, it is impossible to indicate when the series were published, where, by whom, and for what specific purpose. The last evil deed discussed, at the end of part two, dates from July 1965, during the "Four Clean Ups" movement (四清运动). This suggests that the two series were published some time in the mid-1960s.
The names of the foreign missionaries have been identified as far as possible.

Top, "These are some of the remains of children from Jiujiang’s 'House of Mercy' who were tortured by French imperialism. The remains are piled up into a mountain, 4 meters high, with a total area of ​​644.53 square meters." (这是被法帝国主义残害的九江“仁慈堂”儿童的一部分尸骨。尸骨堆成山,高达4公尺,总面积644.53公尺).

Middle, "This is a part of the children's bones excavated from the Huayuanshan "Orphanage"  in Wuchang after liberation". (这是解放后从武昌花园山“育婴堂”掘出的一部分儿童尸骨).

Below, "This is part of the remains of Chinese children who were tortured in the Notre Dame Nursery in Wuhu, Anhui". (这是被安徽芜湖“圣母院育婴所”残害的我国儿童的一部分尸骨).
