I am offering a set of three commemorative stamps from China, "National Safety Month." Symbol: J.65 Issue Date: May 20, 1981 Issuing Authority: Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China In 1980, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications decided to issue commemorative stamps for "National Safety Month." The Stamp Issuing Bureau considered design proposals, but stamp design experts felt they lacked sufficient knowledge of safe production, and the concept of "safety" was abstract and difficult to represent in a design. On the other hand, labor protection experts understood safe production but didn't know how to design stamp illustrations. Furthermore, time was running short, so they decided to solicit stamp designs from across the country. A month later, over 300 design submissions were received from all over the country. After careful consideration and selection by labor protection experts and stamp design experts, the designs by Mr. Wang Chunyan and Mr. Chen Gengnian of the Shanghai Food Company were ultimately chosen. On May 20, 1981, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China issued these commemorative stamps to widely and deeply promote safe production and civilized production. Stamp 1 (left) is titled "Construction Safety." The design depicts a construction worker wearing a safety helmet, with a towering crane and a building under construction in the background. The safety helmet is depicted in red, emphasizing the importance of safety in construction sites, namely head protection and preventing injuries from falling objects. Stamp 2 (center) is titled "Traffic Safety." The design depicts people crossing a crosswalk, with cars, trains, and airplanes in the background. The scene shows adults and children crossing the crosswalk while the traffic light at the intersection is red, emphasizing the importance of traffic safety. Stamp 3 (right) is titled "Agricultural and Forestry Safety." The design emphasizes forestry workers wearing safety helmets and gloves, with forests and timber in the background. The safety helmets and gloves are depicted in red, indicating the importance of preventing accidents during the felling and processing of timber. The red helicopter flying in the sky represents patrol patrols to prevent forest fires. These are actually used stamps from that time. They are all in good condition for used stamps from that era.
