  Through carefully thinking, and received a enlighten of the book " My life My way-- Kim Dae-jung's autobiography" (See Below-left), I decide to use two particular stamps on my postcard for ask his autograph.

Kim Dae-jung said in a foreword of his autobiography (Chinese edition): " My birthplace "HOYI" island is a small island , it is not far from Chinese east coast....when childhood.....I often listened, departing From "HOYI" island by boat for two hours,can reach RED island. In RED island, on every fine morning, Chinese crow voice can be transmitted to there from other side of the sea......So I think China is a not far nation...... In east Asia, the crow is considered to symbolize lucky. " My life, my way ", if it can make Chinese reader to think it is Korea's dawn crow, so I having no other requirement." From a implied meaning of this foreword, I stuck a "Chanticleer" (T-58)stamp issued on Jan.5.,1981.,( issued quantity is 9.31 million pieces, 26x31 mm ). In Chinese traditional culture, the Chanticleer is a bright representation and assiduous symbol. In the autobiography, it become a envoy for linking up friendly feelings between China and Korea, so to use this stamp is very fitness.

Other stamp is a " Opening of submarine optical cable system between China and Republic of Korea" (1995-27)stamp issued on Feb.8,1996.(See below 40x30mm), issued quantity is 51 millions. This is a set stamps issued commonly by China and Korea. Chinese Beijing TIANANMEN and Korea's Seoul CHONGLIMEN was drawn on the stamp (the CHONGLIMEN was built in 1398,It is reputed as a symbol of Korea. The stamp issued by Korea is in below-right).
