The second one uses the first day cover commemorating the 100th anniversary of Lu Xun's birth in 1981 as the main content. The personalized stamp uses the old site of "Sanwei Bookstore" as the image, echoing the core content of the first day cover that year - Lu Xun's classic prose "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore" handwriting.
