The strokes are generally strong, but the first stroke has a projected ending at the top. 2.

The peculiarities in the style of characters are described as follows： 　?11. The character〝圓〞(yuan) is somewhat similar to that of the Union overprint but the first stroke does not have any projection at the top. The part〝口〞in the part〝員〞is narrower than 〝貝〞. 　?22. The character 〝角〞(10 cts.) is also similar to the Union surcharge, but the third stroke (slanting stroke) is comparatively straight, short, and blunt. 　?33. The Arabic figures are thin.

(6)Chengtu Surcharge 　Issue date : December 7, 1948 D56.64 Dr. Sun 3rd Shanghai Dah Tung D56.65 Dr. Sun 1st Shanghai Dah Tung 　　The stamps handed by the Western Szechwan Postal District to the Chengtu Chang Wen Printing Press(成都昌文印刷所) for surcharge are Dr. Sun Yat-sen stamps of the Shanghai Dah Tung Print. The surcharge was done in No.5 typeset Regular-Writing characters and Arabic figures. The whole set consists of two denominations. Their peculiar points are as follows： 　　1. The last stroke in the character〝角〞(10 cts.) is comparatively long, passing through two horizontal strokes. In all overprints made in Shanghai, the last stroke in that character invariably stopped at the juncture of the second horizontal stroke connecting it. 　　2.The distance between the figures〝1〞and 〝0〞or between〝2〞and〝0〞is wider. (7)Nanking Surcharge 　Issue date：December 1948 D56.66 Dr. Sun 2nd Shanghai Dah Tung D56.67 Dr. Sun 2nd Shanghai Dah Tung　The surcharge was done in black by the Printing Department of the Postal Remittances & Savings Bank, Nanking in No.5 square characters and Arabic figures first by typeset letters and then by plates. In the former case the distance between the characters 〝金圓〞(gold yuan) and 〝壹角〞(10 cts.) is about 8 mm., and in the latter case the distance is 9 1/2 mm. In previous surcharges no stamps (cent stamps excepted) were surcharged with square characters, hence it is very easy to distinguish such stamps surcharged at Nanking, which consist of two denominations per set. (8)Foochow Surcharge 　Issue date：April 30, 1949 D56.68   Dr. Sun 3rd Shanghai Dah TungD56.69   Dr. Sun 3rd Shanghai Dah TungD56.70   Dr. Sun 3rd Shanghai Dah TungD56.71   Dr. Sun 3rd Shanghai Dah TungD56.72   Dr. Sun 3rd Shanghai Dah Tung 　　The Fukien Postal District, which had only a short supply of high-value stamps, was authorized to have five denominations of Dr. Sun Yat`sen stamps of the 3rd Shanghai Dah Tung Print surcharged in high values in red or black. This was done by the Chung Hwa Printing Press at Foochow (福州中華印刷所) in No.5 Regular-Writing typeset characters and new No.5 Arabic figures. As the face value was very high, the cent units were left out in the Arabic figures. 　　On August 20, 1948, the Government changed the national currency by replacing the Legal Tender notes with Gold Yuan notes at the ratio of G.Y. $1 to L.T. $3,000,000. As the date of enforcement did not allow sufficient time for the printing of new stamps, the Post Office had to continue the use, at the very beginning of the change, of the old currency stamps, which were sold for Gold Yuan notes at the conversion rate promulgated by the Government. At the same time, immediate steps were taken for the surcharge of old stamps in Gold Yuan values. Sale of the surcharged stamps commenced on October 7, 1948.
