The Soviet Republic ended on October 15 , 1934 , when Kuomintang , led by Chiang Kai-shek , blockaded Ruijin . Chinese Communists left Jiangxi to evade the pursuit and started the Long March northwest to Shaanxi .


POSTAGE STAMPS

In April 1932 , a Central Postal Office (邮政总局) was created, and printed several designs of Postage Stamp s for use in provinces under the rule of the Soviet Republic. Most of the stamps are Imperforate and are printed on white newspaper-quality paper. The Numeral s printed on the stamp are of the complex style to prevent forgery.

They are quite rare today, with prices ranging from US$1,000 to over $25,000.


CULTURE

This was before the Simplification of Chinese Character s, so official documents of the Soviet Republic were written and the Coin s inscribed in Traditional Chinese .
