Why It Matters
November 12 is the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
China News Service, Guangzhou, November 12 (Reporter Cheng Jingwei) On the 12th, the 160th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the commemorative stamp launch ceremony "Commemorating the 160th Anniversary of the Birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen" was held at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Park in Guangzhou.
This set of stamps, numbered 2026-19, is a set of one small sheet with a face value of 6 yuan. It is planned to issue 3.2 million sets and is printed using hot stamping and surface enhancement techniques.
This miniature stamp is created in the form of oil painting, with thick and realistic brushstrokes, delicate and vivid character depictions, a broad and full composition, and a calm and solemn tone. It restores Dr. Sun Yat-sen's perseverance, calmness, and caring for his family and country through the layers of light and shadow. On the edge is Dr. Sun Yat-sen's personal inscription "The world is one commonwealth". The handwriting is simple and powerful, which complements the virtual reality of the oil painting portrait: his spirit is written in the heart of the painting, and his aspirations are written in the edge.
A temporary post office is set up on the west platform of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, where newly issued commemorative stamps, themed stamp folders and first-day covers are on display, attracting philatelic enthusiasts to stop and watch, purchase and collect.
The Dr. Sun Yat-sen themed stamp series exhibition was launched on site, with three chapters: "Commemoration of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Birth", "Thunder of the Revolution of 1911" and "Huangpu Zhongda Biography", focusing on the appreciation and historical and cultural connotation of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's themed stamps, allowing the audience to relive Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary process along with the changes. The themed commemorative tickets for the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall were also launched simultaneously on the same day.
On the same day, all the guests attending the event also moved to the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall to hold a visit ceremony to pay high respect to this great national hero.
