Parcel post
In 1949, for maximum confusion, different surcharges on Republic of China parcel post or money order (pagoda) stamps were used. How did they win the war, you might wonder.  File:N China parcels.jpg|$100 on $10 money order stamp File:North China loco parcels.jpg|$20,000 value 
 * Republic of China parcel post stamps were overprinted in three horizontal lines – Peoples Rep Post RtoL.png, then the denomination in Chinese, then North China.png.
 * About the same time, parcel post stamps were surcharged with the characters of Temporary use.png flanking the new value in Chinese in a box at top, then North China Post & Tel.png ("North China Post and Telegraph"), then Temporary use.png again (again?) and then the new value in arabic numerals in a box at the bottom.
 * Republic of China money order stamps were surcharged horizontally Peoples Rep Post RtoL.png, Parcel post long.png on the next line, then the value in Chinese, and then North China.png.
 * Then money order stamps were surcharged horizontally North China.png, then the denomination in Chinese, then Parcel post long.png, then the denomination again and then North China.png again. Five points for symmetry.
 * Then one stinking $20 on $1 red surcharge was released, the new denomination at top and bottom with Parcel post long.png between.
 * Later in 1949, region-specific parcel post stamps inscribed Peoples Rep Post RtoL.png at top and Parcel post long.png at bottom showing a locomotive were issued.
