A souvenir stamp and coin collection of Peking Opera star Mei Lanfang on stage will be released on December 20, the biggest event to commemorate his memory.

The collection is composed of 11 gold and silver coins, 64 stamps and eight exquisite telephone cards. They will feature ten pictures of the star before his death. Two of the pictures have never been seen by the public before.

The pictures show Mei Lanfang in classic Peking Opera poses. Together, they represent some of the milestone moments in the history of the opera.

The ten photos will be used exclusively in the special collection.
