The counter-revolutionary and restorationist crimes of Catholicism before Liberation
mid 1960s
Publisher unknown
54x38 cm.
BG D25/103

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, "Since the Wuchang Huayuanshan Nursery was taken over by the People's Government, the children have been taken care of meticulously and gradually recovered their health". (武昌花园山育婴堂自人民政府接管后,孩子们受到无微不至的照顾,逐渐恢复了健康).

Below, "These are the children from the liberated orphanage. Under the care of the Party and the People's Government, they are growing up happily and healthily". (这是解放了的孤儿院的孩子们,在党和人民政府的培养下,正在愉快地健康地成长着).
