Issued on February 7, 1949, this striking red stamp from the Northeast Post of China (華東郵政) portrays a symbolic scene of a worker beside a steaming locomotive, set against rugged mountains. The design embodies the spirit of post-war reconstruction and industrial revival in the newly liberated regions before the formal establishment of the People’s Republic of China later that year. The prominent star and radiating rays signify socialism and progress. This issue holds historical significance as part of the transitional postal period in Manchuria and Northeast China.
