| Additional information |
China's annual Arbor Day — designated March 12th, a date chosen to honor Sun Yat-sen's death anniversary — became the occasion for a short commemorative series in the early 1990s. This 1991 issue was part of that run, produced at a moment when Beijing was actively promoting reforestation campaigns to address the severe desertification spreading across northern provinces.
