On 8 November 1937, the Chinese Young Journalists Society, the predecessor of All-China Journalists Association (ACJA), was established. In 1999, the ACJA suggested to designate 8 November as the Journalists' Day, which was offically ratified by the State Council of China on 1 August 2000.
Date Sent: 17 October 2017 On the cover, I just affixed 2 Patacas Camilo Pessanha stamp out of the normal postage of 3 Patacas. You can see the round-shaped T 1/3 chop from Macau. The postage due is thus: ((1 / 3) x 2.3) + 4 = HK$4.8.
