The counter-revolutionary and restorationist crimes of Catholicism before Liberation
mid 1960s
Publisher unknown
54x38 cm.
BG D25/99

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, "The children in the orphanage were treated badly and tortured for a long time. They were not given any treatment when they were sick. Those who were seriously ill were thrown into the 'death room' and waited to die. The gloomy black room above is the 'death room' of the Shanghai Notre Dame Orphanage. In this black room, countless Chinese children's lives were ruined!" (育婴堂的孩子们,长期受虚待,受折磨,生了病根本不给治疗,病重一点的,就被仍到“挺死间”活活等死。上面这间阴森森的黑房子,就是生活圣母院育婴堂的“挺死间”。在这间黑房子里,不知道有多少中国孩子的生命被葬送掉!).

Below, "The children who were tortured to death in the orphanage were carried out in baskets and buried. Some children were still alive, struggling and screaming, but they were also buried alive." (被孤儿院折磨死的孩子,就这样一筐一筐的抬出去埋掉,有的孩子还没有断气,还在挣扎,惨叫,也被活埋了).
