3156 香港欠資 Hong Kong Postage Due ​

A cover mailed to Hong Kong from Liuchow on 25th December 1949. It was franked with two 5 fen Kwangsi Basic stamps. The postage included 5 fen for ordinary mail and 5 fen for additional one unit fee, 10 fen of postage in total. Liuchow was liberated on 25th November 1949. This letter was delivered one month after Liuchow’s Liberation. At the time, the People’s Postal Service had strictly implemented the new regulations and Silver Yuan stamps had been invalidated. The two Silver Yuan stamps were therefore not cancelled. On its back, the letter was stamped with a 25th December Liuchow cds and a Postage Due mark on the front. It arrived in Hong Kong on 7th January 1950. The receiver Mr. Wong Shek Bin paid the due-postage with two ten cent Hong Kong postage-due stamps.​ 所示的實寄封是1949年12月25日由柳州寄香港，貼桂區基數郵票5分2枚。其時平信5分，續重一個單位另加5分，合共10 分郵資。1949年11月25日柳州解放，此封寄時距柳州解放已整整一個月。此時人民郵政已按新制辦事，不予酌情，銀圓 郵票再不能作為有效的郵資憑證，因此正面所貼的2枚銀圓郵票不予銷戳，只在背面空白處，蓋“12月25日”柳州郵戳，另 蓋“欠資”戳記。該信在1950年1月7日到達香港，由收件人黃錫 彬先生補納郵資，另貼香港欠資郵票1角兩枚。​
