Any true philatelic enthusiast in the future, if you ask him, which stamps he would most like to have. Or ask them which stamps are the most collectible and valuable.

I believe that the answers to these questions will be basically the same.

That is the dragon stamps, 80 years of the zodiac monkey stamps, red stamps, "yellow, purple, blue army stamps", "military stickers" stamps, and the country's mountains and rivers are red. These five stamps!

In 1878, the Qing Dynasty government customs issued China's first set of stamps - Dalong stamps. The main picture is the symbol of the Qing imperial family - the dragon, referred to as the "big dragon stamp". As China's first stamp, the rise is amazing: in 2015, a full-page Dalong stamp was auctioned for 5.61 million yuan, and a full set of Dalong, Xiaolong, and Panlong stamps were as high as 20 million yuan.

Blues Post. This set of stamps a total of 3, issued in 1953, the background color is orange, purple, blue to represent the army, air force, navy, referred to as "yellow, purple, blue army post", "military sticker" stamps, the current number of the world is very rare, in 2011 a set of blue army post Quartet with 3.4 million yuan auctioned.

The red stamp is similar to the Zodiac monkey stamp, and the last one is more famous.

On November 25, 1968, a stamp was issued, with a face value of 8 cents. In the 2012 China Guardian Spring Auction, a piece of "Long Live the Complete Victory of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" (commonly known as "Big Red") was sold at a sky-high price of 7.3025 million yuan, setting a record for the highest transaction of a single stamp in China.

And now, the dozen or so envelopes sent by Zhang Xiaoying, and the last envelope is also five stamps of "The Mountains and Rivers of the Country Are Red". There are four of them, or the legendary little quadrangle, do you say that He Zilong can not lose his temper after watching it? Can he not be excited?

It's not the time of the 2012 auction, but the mountains and rivers across the country are red if the condition is good, especially the Sifanglian. Even in 1991, once he bumped into a collector who was willing to buy him, I believe that it was possible to exchange it for 120,000 yuan.

Even if there is no deal for a while, it's okay, because the more time is held to the back, the more valuable it is. Even if it can't become the first pot of gold, it is a profitable investment in itself. Of course, if you look at it over time, it can't be regarded as the highest yield investment!

He Zilong took such a big advantage from Zhang Xiaoying's family, and glanced at her with some weakness. found that Zhang Xiaoying didn't realize what was going on at all, and was still playing with the little black paparazzi.

So, the next minute. He hurriedly ran all his pocket money, nineteen yuan and five jiao, (all saved from breakfast money) to the Xiaonan grocery store at the entrance of the family home, and took out a huge amount of ten yuan from it and exchanged it for lollipops and some soybean milk, all of which were given to Zhang Xiaoying. Then I asked a few more questions about the envelope!

After that, Zhang Xiaoying happily jumped and went home with food, and He Zilong wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. I picked up the envelope with the red of the mountains and rivers of the whole country and observed it carefully.

A few minutes later!

Judging from what Xiaoying said, her father does not collect stamps, and it seems that he also doesn't know what the mountains and rivers of the country are. This is when their house was cleaning, Xiaoying found it from the bottom of the pressure box in the wardrobe, no wonder it was kept cleaner than my envelope......" He Zilong's excitement has calmed down a lot.

"Now that I think about it, the reason why I used four or five stamps is because Uncle Zhang's place when he was a soldier was a little far away, so I have to put a few more stamps every time I write a letter...... Alas, when it is realized, it will be developed in the future, and it must be reported back to Zhang Xiaoying and Uncle Zhang's family!" He Zilong carefully put away the envelope with new books, put it at the bottom of his coat box, and pressed a few more books.

There are two kinds of treasured stamps in the country, one is called a small piece of red (Taiwan white on the map), and one is a large piece of red (with a forest vice), the big one is rarer than the small one, and the 7.5 million sky-high price at the auction in 2012 is the big one.

A stamp is a record of an era, a mark of history.

With the deepening of China's reform and opening up, the rapid development of the market economy, and the rapid improvement of the economic strength of the common people, it will not be long before there will be a wave of collecting craze.

While collecting cultural relics and philatelic products, many people are also looking for various ways to preserve their value. Since the 80s, until 2025, people have regarded stamps as one of the key investment goals, and they are known as antique collections.

At lunch time, He Zilong's mother came back, and the chemical plant was still very punctual in and out of work every day, and at 12 o'clock at noon, it would definitely change shifts and rest, especially in the last one or two years, when the factory's efficiency was not very good, some workers quietly went home in advance to cook and rest, and the leading cadres did not say anything.

A simple three dishes and one soup, cabbage, radish, eggplant, plus tofu soup, no chicken essence, no condiments, if you look closely, you can barely see a few bits of meat foam.

Despite this, He Zilong still ate happily. Because these dishes are full of memories of his childhood, and the taste is pure. Unlike those genetically modified dishes in later generations, they look and taste completely different, and there is not much nutrition to speak of.

After eating, He Zilong's mother explained a few words, and then went to the door, and in the afternoon, she would go directly to work. And He Zilong's father works in a nitrogen fertilizer factory, because he is a repair worker, a little far from home. Usually I don't come back for lunch, and I only come back after the evening.

Watching his mother walk away from the window, He Zilong locked the door, got on his bicycle and went out. Go straight to the post office opposite the county Xinhua bookstore!

The streets are full of old houses that look like they are in a different world, and they look completely different from those that have been decades later. The two completely different style memories make He Zilong on the bicycle feel like a reappearance in another world.

"Passing through the eight-storey medicinal herb company in front and the grain store on the right, it's not far from Xinhua Bookstore......

In later generations, eight-story buildings abounded, and there were many buildings with twenty or thirty floors. But in 1991, the eight-storey medicinal herb company is now the tallest building in Chalin County. The second tallest are the teaching buildings of the major high schools, which are generally five to six stories high.

Because it was meal time, and the weather in December was windy, there were not many pedestrians. He Zilong couldn't help but speed up the speed of riding the bicycle, and immediately let the Phoenix brand bicycle under his feet squeak and sprint like a fly.

When I looked up again, not far in front, the words "Xinhua Bookstore" on the front door of a conjoined complex were particularly eye-catching. And the words of the post office next door to it seem a little inconspicuous.

In those days, there was only one big bookstore in the entire Chalin County, which was Xinhua Bookstore. Other counties are estimated to be similar to this, after all, at this point in time, it is still the world of state-owned bookstores.

Because the façade of Xinhua Bookstore is long and large, and the edge of the roof is also wide, and the floor is clean. Lovers of collecting and trading stamps, as well as some gadgets and commemorative currencies, will stop here to communicate. Some even open a small storefront, or push a stall!

He Zilong locked the bicycle, and in the past, like those good deeds and onlookers, he went up to every stall to take a look.

After more than half an hour of investigation, he felt only a little disappointed, but accepted it calmly. Sure enough, there are no good goods here, they are all fishing goods at three or two o'clock. And there is no powerful collector, and it is estimated that his 80-year-old zodiac monkey tickets are unlikely to be able to be cashed out here.

It seems that the realization of monkey tickets should at least go to second-tier cities like Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Xiangtan. As for the best stamps such as the national mountains and rivers in hand, it is estimated that it is easy to cash in a first-line super city like SH and the capital, well, a little far!

He Zilong was thinking in a daze, when suddenly a Santana car came on the road behind him and stopped at the door of the post office with a squeak. Most of the people present were stunned!

In the eighties and nineties, there were very few people who owned a car, and even fewer people could afford a car. If it is not for the fact that people who are either rich or expensive, they simply cannot afford it and cannot afford it. Of course, the traffic situation in these years is much better than in later generations, and if anyone has a car, it will make people stare at it and envy it.

The Santana car in front of you is even more different!

Most people in the small county town may not be able to see it, but the reborn He Zilong's eyes are sharp, and he can see the price of this Santana car at a glance. In the 90s, it cost about 200,000 yuan to have only one less car, and what was the concept of about 200,000 yuan in the 90s? Right now, a house within the BJ3 ring is estimated to be about 160,000 yuan, which is more expensive than a house in the capital.

It's a mobile luxury class villa!
