I am offering a vintage Chinese special stamp, "Planned Parenthood (Planned Birth Control)." Symbol: T.91 Issue Date: September 19, 1983 Issuing Authority: Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China China is "vast in territory and rich in resources," but the per capita arable land and resources are scarce, and the situation is not optimistic. Therefore, based on over 30 years of experience with population issues since the founding of the nation, the basic national policy was to curb the rapid increase in population, and this became the main foundation for various policies. On May 30-31, 1981, the First Plenary Session was held in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, and the Planned Parenthood Commission was established. At the meeting, it was recommended that a couple have one child in principle, and related policies were discussed. In 1982, a system was instructed that allowed one child in principle in urban areas and up to two children in rural areas under special circumstances, and the birth of a third child was prohibited. At the National Planned Parenthood Propaganda Conference in November 1982, it was emphasized that planned parenthood was a basic national policy, and it was considered important to balance the control of the population within 1.2 billion and the quadrupling of the total industrial and agricultural output by the end of the year. On September 19, 1983, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued this special stamp to widely publicize planned parenthood. The design name of this stamp is "Advocating that a couple should only have one child." The design features the symbols ♀ and ♂, representing male and female in modern biology, intersecting, with a deformed child in the center. The image represents the population policy of "a couple having one child" and also plays a role in the dissemination and enlightenment of scientific knowledge. There is a green oval in the background, which complements the overall design and symbolizes a happy small family and prosperity and development. This stamp reflects the social background of the one-child policy in China at the time and has historical and cultural value as one of the special stamp series. A must-have item for collectors. The actual used item from that time is in good condition, and you can fully enjoy it as a collection. Please check the details in the images. No returns or exchanges. Shipping costs will be borne by me.
