Twenty-eight commemorative stamp albums, envelopes, and model airplanes themed around the 14th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (Airshow China) were released by China Post in Zhuhai on Oct 18.

The products boast both ornamental and collection value. They are expected to further promote the brand of Zhuhai and Airshow China while also popularizing aviation, as well as China's latest achievements in the aerospace industry. 

The first facsimile stamp made from debris of the Long March II-F rocket by China Post made its debut during the event, which is the most precious of the 28 products. Zhou Liyun, general manager of the Zhuhai branch of China Post, noted that each facsimile stamp has its own identification number. With a total circulation of 50,000 sets nationwide, only more than 1,000 will be sold in Zhuhai.

Currently, only less than 1,000 Long March II-F rocket pieces are preserved as most of their parts burnt up when going through the atmosphere.

The first-ever punching passport for this year's Airshow China was also unveiled during the event. Thirteen commemorative stamps and medallions will be provided by the Zhuhai branch of China Post for people to seal on their passports on-site. 

Stamps have long been reputed as a "national business card" and Zhuhai has been showcased on China's stamps 13 times. Among them, two stamps with Zhuhai elements were related to the development of China's aerospace industry.
