This is a strong mauve surcharge. Four characters in an arc reading 郵政 Chinese Post, with the surcharge of 5 chiao below.

These are the only 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.
