The following commemorative overprints appear on stamps printed by the Hsin Min press and surcharged with new values using a black typeface made up of Sung No 5 with additional characters reading Restricted for use in the North East. Due to wartime shortages the Hsin Min press were forced to use a variety of different papers to complete the contract and as a result more than one type of paper can be found for some of the stamps shown below.

Type 1 - Newsprint (off white with a slight screen texture)
Type 2 - Yellowish White Paper
Type 3 - White Paper (white and smooth)
Type 4 - Soft Native Paper
         
 

 

 
  1Y on 10Y Paper 3   4Y on 50Y Papers 2 and 3  
 

Double 10 Commemorative and surcharge in red on the North Eastern Provinces Issues. This is the full set.

Note: These commemoratives celebrate the anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising of 10th October 1911. This uprising led to the overthrow of the Qing dynasty and the formation of the Republic of China.

All known stamps for this town are shown above.

  
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.
