A soft crimson overprint reading 中華民國 Chinese Republic with a surcharge below. Fakes have been seen based upon Kerr's sketches look for his distinctive "民" and compare with the above. There are a further two overprinted stamps known 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. | ||||||
