"The process of collecting stamps and curating made me feel like I had experienced another baptism." Chen Linbao told reporters that the history of the Communist Party of China from the first few people to the present is recorded on this square inch of stamps. "This stamp of the red boat in Jiaxing South Lake, I specially went to Jiaxing to stamp the local postmark, and my memory is very momentary."
Following Chen Linbao's steps, the reporter learned that his curatorial ideas closely followed current affairs hot spots. The important concepts of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", "the people are the jiangshan, the jiangshan is the people", and the hot spots of current affairs such as "Wuhan epidemic" and "vaccination" are all rolled out one by one in this square inch stamp exhibition. "Philately is really an increase in knowledge, and the story behind each little stamp, I have made a deep understanding of philately." Chen Linbao said that the road of stamp collecting has also witnessed its own growth and the development of Taopu.
The reporter learned that Chen Linbao began collecting stamps from the age of 18 when he joined the army as a soldier, when he had just come out of Xinyang Village in Taopu Town. "Originally, I saw few stamps in the village, but I wrote more letters to the troops, and I saw a lot of different stamps, so I was fascinated." Chen Linbao said that when the philatelic collection was first started, the houses living in the village were leaking, the roads were muddy, and the living environment was poor, and today, decades later, the villagers have lived in elevator rooms, and there are rich spiritual and cultural pursuits and happy lives.
At the scene of the philatelic exhibition, envelopes and commemorative postcards were also provided to party members and the masses who came to see the exhibition. "On the spot, a commemorative postcard was written and sent to friends far away, and this red heart was passed out through a small stamp, which was very meaningful, as if it was back to the years when the carriages and horses were very slow and the letters came and went." A party member who watched the exhibition introduced.
