This is a soft vermillion surcharge applied over the hard black Chang Chun overprint. This is the only stamp in the set. There are only a further 2 stamps known for this village, both have a vermillion Republic of China Chop. |

| 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. | ||||||
