Abstract
It was into violent conflicts between the Chinese and Japanese, and Nationalists and Communists, that McCarthy entered China. He arrived in Shanghai in 1943, undergoing internment under Japanese occupation. Charles McCarthy was among those Californians sent to Zikawei, where he joined French and Chinese Jesuits, taught as a faculty member in the Society’s schools, served as vice-rector of the theologate, and then as vice-superior of the California Jesuits in China. From 1948 to 1949 he was editor of Catholic Review, Assistant Director of the Hua Ming News Service, and directed radio work. After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China on October 1, 1949, the Communist party moved aggressively against the Church, inaugurating anti-Christian campaigns. Letters home included increasingly traumatic accounts.
