Il periodo dei rettorati di don Filippo Rinaldi (1922-1931) e di don Pietro Ricaldone (1931-1951) fu caratterizzato da una notevole espansione del lavoro salesiano nel mondo, avente come principali destinatarie e protagoniste le più popolose e culturalmente diverse nazioni asiatiche, realizzata con strategie innovative messe a punto gradualmente in un rapporto dialettico tra centro e periferia, e con il coinvolgimento della S. Sede che su una Congregazione salesiana in forte espansione aveva riposto notevole fiducia: espansione, strategie e rapporto dialettico che hanno plasmato le Missioni salesiane fino al Concilio.

The paper sheds light on the contribution of the FMA to the advance of the Salesian spirit in China through their availability, sacrifice, indomitable courage in facing severe challenges and above all their fidelity to the spirit of “Da mihi animas, cetera tolle” by offering to youth and the needy services in keeping with the charism of the institute and in response to the needs of the place and time.

The Salesians landed in Macao on 13 February 1906 to take over the management of a diocesan orphanage and set up a school of arts and crafts, with the aim of expanding gradually into China proper, which they first did in 1911, shortly after the Portuguese republican revolution forced the them out of the enclave.

The China Mission, which started in 1906, was established as an autonomous entity on 1 January 1923, when the Visitatoria della China was erected, comprising 32 confreres and houses and works in Macao, Heung Shan and Shiu Chow. As new missions in Japan and Siam were being accepted or considered, the Sino-Japanese Province was erected on 28 May 1926. In December of that same year Fr. Pietro Ricaldone set out on a year-long extraordinary visitation of the Asian Missions.By the time the visitation ended in late 1927, there was a Salesian regional presence and a well established juridical structure in East Asia.

This brief paper intends to outline the juridical configuration and development strategies of the Salesian work in China and study the internal and external conditions that influenced its first expansion, in the years 1926-1927, in East Asia.

This article would like to present a general view of the political situation of China in the period of 1920-30. Even though China has succeeded in establishing a republic through the revolution, she was still suffering from the civil wars and foreign powers invasion.

La Escola de Artes e Oficios poteva vantare di offrire un tipo di insegnamento, con programmi e metodologie sperimentati, che a Macao erano unici nel loro genere. Era il modello delle scuole professionali promosso dalla Congregazione Salesiana, trapiantato, con opportuni adattamenti e con i limiti imposti dalle possibilità reali (non ultima quella del numero e della qualità del personale messo a disposizione dalla Congregazione), in un ambiente così diverso da quello in cui era nato.

Nel 1886, nel Testamento Spirituale, don Bosco annotava quella che molti considerano la sua “profezia” riguardo alle missioni salesiane in Cina. L’articolo prende avvio dalla “chiamata missionaria” di don Bosco e, rileggendo criticamente alcune fonti tradizionali ed utilizzandone altre finora trascurate o sconosciute, ricostruisce il graduale maturare del suo ideale e dei suoi piani missionari fino alla rapidissima decisione di inviare il primo gruppo di missionari in Argentina.
