雲南 Yunnan

​

In early December, Yunnan Governor Lu Han cabled to the Communist Chinese leaders his desire to defect from the Kuomintang. This led to the peaceful liberation of Yunnan on 9th December 1949 when Military Control Commission took over the post offices in Yunnan. At that time the Silver Yuan postage was in use. With the arrival of a huge consignment of “South West Liberation Stamp”, the Yunnan Postal Administration announced on 21st March 1950 the invalidity of Silver Yuan postage and stopped selling Silver Yuan stamps.​ 十二月初雲南主席盧漢電告共産黨領導，投誠意願，這引至十二月九日雲南全省和平解放，之後銀元郵票及郵資継續使 用，1950年3月21日隨著大量西南解放票運抵雲南，銀元郵資取諦，郵局停止售賣銀元郵票。​
