The counter-revolutionary and restorationist crimes of Catholicism before Liberation
mid 1960s
Publisher unknown
54x38 cm.
BG D25/104

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 left, "The orphan Zhu Mailie lived an inhuman life in the 'Holy Infant Nursery' in Guangzhou before liberation. Her left eye was blinded by imperialists. After liberation, the Party and the People's Government rescued her from the brink of death and healed her body that had been mutilated by the imperialists. Now she has received junior high school education and is happily engaged in childcare work in the Guangzhou Infant Care Home. The top picture below is a photo of her in the past, and the picture below is her current photo. The before and after comparison shows two people!"(孤儿朱麦烈,解放前在广州市“圣婴育婴院”时过着非人的生活,左眼被帝国主义分子刺瞎。解放后,党和人民政府把她从死亡的边缘抢救出来,为她医治好被帝国主义分子搉残的身体。现在她已受到初中教育,在广州市育婴院愉快地从事保育工作。下面上图是她过去的一张照片,下图是她现在的照片,前后比较全是两个人了!).

Photo's right, "This is Liu Simao, an orphan from the Wuhan Huayuanshan 'Infant Orphanage'. When the People's Government first took over the Infant Orphanage, Liu Simao was weak and sickly, weighing only two or three pounds." (这是武汉花园山“育婴堂”孤儿刘四毛。人民政府刚接管育婴堂时,刘四毛体弱多病,当时体重只足二,三磅).
"After a year, Liu Simao grew white and plump." (经过一年以后,刘四毛长的又白又胖).
"Liu Simao is now a student at the Wuhan Middle School" (现在的刘四毛是武汉中学的学生).
