Postal History of Gold/Silver Yuan in the Liberated Areas Undoubtedly the smooth transition of postal administration into the Chinese People’s Post in mainland China may well be a spectacular miracle in postal history. It occurred during historically the most devastating civil war and also at the time of the worst hyperinflation. Despite these adversities, China postal services were not suspended for even a single day. Historians infer that the smooth transition is attributable to successful implementations of various policies and tactics by the Communist in the newly liberated areas.​ ​ Since late Ching Dynasty capable officers such as Robert Hart, Sheng Sunwei, Chu Kahua. Chu Shifen had established for China an efficient postal service system and competent staff. On April 25 1949, Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong and Commander Zhu Teh promulgated “Trio Preservation Policy” aiming to preserve the system, jobs and wages of the government administration and staff. This policy enabled the smooth taking over of no less than 2,800 local and district post offices (90+%).​ To mitigate the financial damage to the population, Gold/Silver Yuan were allowed to be exchanged into RMB. Accordingly, Gold/Silver Yuan postages were adopted and Gold/Silver stamps and their Domestic Postage Paid (DPP) chops were permitted to be used normally for not more than two weeks.​ ​ In this collection, Mr. Choy studies and analyses the use of Gold/Silver Yuan postage in the Liberated Areas, that he has collected during the past 30 years to confirm the historians’ inference. This exhibit collection received a Large Gold award in 2016 FIAP Exhibition in Nanning.​ 解放區的 金/銀 元郵史 郵政史上最偉大的奇蹟應為在中國大陸，中華郵政順利轉移到中國人民郵政，是時正值歷史上規 模最大，最慘烈的的內戰，也發生在歷史上最厳重的通貨澎漲，而在這些惡陋環境下，郵政服務 一天不停，事後史學家推斷，這成就是歸功於共産黨在解放區實施一籃子有效的措施。 自晚清以來主管郵電的主腦人物，如羅拔，赫德、盛宣懷、朱家華、朱學範等都是當時喻亮，他 們為中國建立了一個很完善的郵政系統、高效率的制度和人事組織，共產黨主席毛澤東和朱德元 師在1949年4月25日公布 “三保留” 策略（即確保工資、職位、制度)，這策略促使軍管局順利接收了 超過二千八百間以上的郵局（即百分九十以上），把這一切完整地保留。為了減輕人民的經濟損 失，國民政府的貨幣（金、銀圓）可兌換人民幣，因此在解放區內，暫用（通常解放後兩週）中 華郵政郵資，同時為了盡快恢復郵政業務，郵局仍沿用中華郵政遺留的金圓、單位、基數、銀圓 郵票及其郵資已付郵戳。 在這郵集，蔡國雄先生把他過去三十多年搜集的在解放區內沿用金/銀元郵品，研究、分析來顯示 及佐證當時郵政服務是怎樣順利轉移，確實史學家的推斷。這郵集在2016年南寧舉辦的亞洲國際郵 展榮獲大金獎。 We are honoured to offer a collection unique in it’s kind which is important in understanding the beginning of the postal system in the Liberated Areas. This is an opportunity for all collectors of this period to acquire numerous rarities which will enhance their own collections.

我們非常榮幸被委托如此獨特的珍藏，對於了解 “解放區” 郵政系統的開端非常重要。對於 這時期的所有收藏家來講，這將會是增強他們自己的藏品稀有的機會。
