when the newly established postal administration restored and standardized its international airmail system. These covers span the 3rd to 8th postal rate periods (15 March 1950 - 31 August 1956) and are all ordinary airmail letters, correctly franked according to the postal rates in effect at the time, with varied and period-consistent stamp combinations. Most were dispatched from major postal ports such as Shanghai, Tientsin and Canton, routed via Hong Kong and carried by Pan American Airways (PAA) and other international airlines to destinations in Europe, America, and Asia. The group as a whole features clear postal routes and legible markings, providing an authentic record of the gradual restoration of China’s international airmail service during the early and mid-1950s. These covers vividly illustrate the operational development of China’s trans-Pacific and Asian airmail network and constitute valuable postal history materials for the study of postal rate systems and the evolution of international communications under the early People’s Post, possessing significant academic and exhibition importance.
