Chapter 171 Good news for philatelists

Stamp collecting is a noble and interesting hobby.Stamp collectors, especially young people, often obtain and increase their knowledge of history, geography, art, cultural relics and other knowledge of their own country and countries around the world through stamp collecting. When my wife and I were young, we both had a hobby of collecting stamps. Later, during the troubled times of the country, we migrated and lost all our stamp collection books, so we lost our interest in collecting stamps.Over the years, my children and grandchildren have all reached the age of collecting stamps, and they lived in peaceful times. Therefore, I pay close attention to the letters I receive every day from home and abroad. If there are novel and beautiful stamps, I cut them out and collect them. To them and my little friends.

Now my country's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications will issue a "Children" with donation stamps.This "Children" stamp has two patterns, one is a girl holding a ball, and the other is a boy holding a panda, both of which look very lively and lovely.The face value is eight cents plus two cents, eight cents is the postage, and two cents is the donation of the stamp buyer to support children's welfare.This is the first set of welfare stamps issued by our country. Based on the circulation, it is expected to raise 600,000 yuan in welfare funds for children.The first thing our party and government think of is the 200 million children in our country, which is really a great thing!

I appreciate this pioneering work very much, and am happy to announce this gospel to philatelists.On the occasion of the Spring Festival, buy more of these "Children" stamps and paste them on the New Year's postcards for domestic and overseas friends. Welfare business for successors! December 17, 1983
