The counter-revolutionary and restorationist crimes of Catholicism before Liberation
mid 1960s
Publisher unknown
54x38 cm.
BG D25/97

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, "This skinny baby was from the 'Charity Nursery' in Nanjing. Her name was Aihui. She was two years old at the time, but weighed only 8 jin (jin). She had six different diseases and could not stand or speak." (这个骨瘦如柴的婴儿是南京“慈爱育婴院”的,名叫爱惠,当时依据二岁了,但只有八斤两重(市斤),生有六种不同的病,不会立,也不会说话).

Below, "This is another child from the Nanjing 'Charity Nursery'. Her name is Aili. She is two years and eight months old. Due to extreme malnutrition, she weighed only 10.24 jin and had four different diseases." (这是南京“慈爱育婴院”的另一个孩子,名叫爱俐,已有二岁八个月,因为营养极度不良,只有市斤十斤二十四两重,生有四种不同的病).
