Stamp collectors in Mianyang, Southwest China's Sichuan Province, crowd into a local post office to have postmarks added to their commemorative envelopes or covers. The special covers were produced for the five-day China-Mianyang 2003 Asia International Stamp Exhibition, which began yesterday. Representatives from 24 of the 28 members of the Inter-Asia Philatelic Federation and the International Philatelic Federation are believed to have attended the event. [newsphoto.com.cn]
