Part of a set of 7 overprints, 5 in soft red/vermillion and 2 in soft blue/black. Overprints read 中國郵政 Chinese Post, 暫用 Temporary Use, 北東 North East. Chan describes the blue as blue/black and the example here looks more grey black.. This is the total output of 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. | ||||||||
