1949
The two stamps were issued
by the East China Liberation Area at the end of the conquest of the
mainland. The first shows Mao and a map, and marks the victory of
Hwai-ying and Haichow. The second marks the liberation of Shanghai and
Nanking whose maps appear on the stamp.


1956
The stamp shows a map of
China and modes of transportation. It was issued by the Republic of
China (Taiwan) to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of
the modern Chinese postal system.

1957
The stamp was issued by
the Republic of China in 1957. The legend on the map says, "Recovery of the
Mainland."

A second issue was
released also in 1957. The obvious difference is the dark blue
border.
