1955251161San Francisco: Mun Ching 民éÂÂ’ 1955. 19p. newsletter mimeographed 7x8.5 inches light handling very good. Text in Chinese. Mun Ching began as the New Chinese Alphabetized Language Study Society an organization in Chinatown devoted to alphabetizing the Chinese language in order to promote literacy in the working class. In 1943 in the context of China's battle against Japan the group broadened its mission and re-named itself the California Overseas Chinese Youth League for National Salvation. They put on plays to raise money for care packages for Chinese American soldiers also issuing mimeographed publications and building a library. By this point political theater was a core part of the group's activities as part of its outreach to the broader Chinese-speaking public. In 1946 the group was renamed the Chinese American Democratic Youth League often known by the abbreviation of its Cantonese name Mun Ching. In the late 1940s this group sided with the Communists in China's civil war seeing that side as allied with such progressive ideals as racial equality women's rights. Mun Ching activities soared in late 1949 after Chairman Mao proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Mun Ching saw its role at this time in the words of one newsletter as "Introducing the culture of New China to Chinatown's society." They created study clubs sports teams and continued the drama and song clubs that had already become part of the organization's outreach. During the Korean War; most Mun Ching members believed that China was fighting for Asian independence and freedom while the US forces were pawns of Wall Street and imperialism. There was a visceral sense of solidarity with the People's Republic of China. And yet there was usually a reason why these people were here in San Francisco rather than in China. America meant something to them as well and they generally wanted to stay here. The FBI used this internal conflict to suppress Mun Ching getting individual members to split off from it and name names in exchange for assistance with their citizenship status. In 1956 the FBI managed to have an agent or an informant access the Executive Committee's records and photograph three years' worth of minutes. The FBI was very intent on determining the identities of the group's officers since Mun Ching had a rule that only pseudonyms were used in publications like these newsletters. The FBI arrested known members in public to instill panic and rescinded the citizenship of some provoking long legal battles; other members were deported or moved to other countries. The trauma of these experiences was such that most former members who are still alive remain unwilling to be "outed" even decades later. The vast majority of Mun Ching internal newsletters and other documents were discarded or destroyed by their owners during this period. Mun Ching 民éÂÂ’ unknown books
