This may be the earliest recorded cover. Dr George T. Luzitano in The Post-war Provisional Issues of North East China, MLO Volume 1 lists the earliest cover as 13th May 1947, the above is 12 days earlier than his example. These are the only overprints known to exist for this village. |

| These stamps have been identified by using Volume II of the Stamp Catalogue of China by Shui-Hon Chan and the four booklet guide The Local Overprinted Stamps of Manchuria 1945-7 by Allen D Kerr (published 1978 and now out of print). Both works are essential for anyone delving seriously into this subject. | ||||||||
