According to the designer, the first stamp, depicting a running cock, embodies the characteristics of a country in rapid development. The second stamp, a scene of a hen taking care of her chicks, represents family happiness.

Seeing a high collecting value, residents in Wuxi lined up early on Jan 5 despite the gloomy rain at the local stamp outlet.
