Chinese stamps


I love this pair of stamps from 1980 in China. The Cultural Revolution had ended a few years before and stamps like these could be seen. They also give a hint about the rapid growth of the Chinese economy, as they are in denominations of 4分 and 8 分, but recently almost nothing is priced so cheaply; everything is in 元. There might be a total of 4 stamps in the set - I am still searching.

日本語 hints
Cultural Revolution = 文化大革命
denomination =
