| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party's founding, this 1991 series arrived just two years after the Tiananmen Square crackdown of June 1989 — a timing that made its public reception in Hong Kong and among overseas Chinese communities notably charged. The Party proceeded with full commemorative fanfare regardless, treating the anniversary as an unqualified occasion for institutional pride.
