For the opening of the R.O.C. Military Academy in 1924, Sun Yat-sen, the father of the Republic of China, delivered a written statement whose words would be turned into the lyrics of the national anthem. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the academy and to express thanks to the members of the military for their continued sacrifices and hard work in their service of protecting the nation, Chunghwa Post has released a commemorative souvenir sheet. The sheet includes one NT$8 stamp and one NT$28 stamp. The stamps’ backgrounds include images of the R.O.C. flag and the academy’s flag, as well as the academy’s first campus gate in Whampoa. In the foreground of the NT$28 stamp are four saluting students in different uniforms from the four different campus eras of the academy (Whampoa, Nanjing, Chengtu and Fenghsan). These soldiers will always remember the school motto of “affection, precision, sincerity” and stay true to the “Whampoa spirit,” which emphasizes sacrifice, solidarity, and responsibility. The sheet embodies the true character of the academy’s alumni, who have devoted their efforts to the country for a century. The Whampoa centenary logo (forming a “100”), which is found both on the NT$8 stamp and in the upper margin of the souvenir sheet, symbolizes the continuity between the past and the future and the hopes for stability, long-term peace and the continued prosperity of the nation.
