Lei Feng Spirit (booklet)
We continue to face the challenge of how to describe these China Post products–as you will keep seeing–and this one should be easy, but it’s not. It is a soft booklet measuring about 4-1/4″ x 5-5/8″ and though it came from China Post, the first thing on the first inner page is “Bank of China”. But let’s start with the cover, about the selfless and modest soldier/hero, Lei Feng. The title translates something like this: Strive for being the follower of Lei Feng’s spirit. Promote the new spirit of social civilization. Once inside, the booklet is a mix of text and drawings (see 20307473B), which look like they should fold out accordion-style, but they don’t.
The second half of the booklet has similar drawings, but each page (in this case, they do fold out) is a flimsy postcard with pre-printed postage. There appear to be six of these pages of postcards. It is an unusual item, to be sure, and of course unused. Grade: 1
