This is a group very valuable philatelic matter and information, that spent for 3 years and experienced a lot of difficulties and twists and turns. It recorded many important activity and historical events about the independence of East Timor, the UNTAET (United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor ). As well as some of the important activities of its president - the former East Timor independence leader Xanana Gusmao, important officers and peacekeeping police officers of UNTAET, the British ambassador to Indonesia. And the cross-correlation of important postal history before and after the independence of East Timor between China, Indonesia, Australia, East Timor, UPU etc. postal administrations. Many of them signed postcards, envelopes, letters, postmarks, stamps, labels etc., and to be recorded history by them is very valuable . Gusmao is known as a "president who yearns to lose the election" (see here, this may also be the only person in the world) . So it is very rare or even unique in the world philatelic history.

The first and second group

This is very important philatelic matter for East Timor's independent historical progress. Gusmao visit China in January 2000, in that time he only is the leader of East Timor independent movement. East Timor is in disarray. He busy working for the cause of independence for to get help. The postcard recorded these progress. His signature experiencing a very difficult and tortuous postal routes (see http://hty66.com/engweb/eng2-020/eng2-020-2.html ). I believe that such an autographed postcard In that special period, it is extremely rare in the world, even maybe unique.

The postcard used 3 pieces commemorative stamps: One is 1995-22-2 " 50th Anniversary of United Nations" (issued date is Oct.24,1995); One is J108 " United Nations Decade for Woman 1976-1985" (date is Mar.8,1985); Other one is 1997-18-1 " The Temple of Heaven" (in Beijing)(date is Oct.16,1997). The meaning of the stamps is very clear.
2 photos in the back of the postcard. One is a photo that is China vice chairman Hu Jintao is meeting with Gusmao; Other one is a Gusmao's photo downloaded from the Internet. This photo reflects Gusmao's dauntless striving figure for national liberation, it is a very touching photo. In despite of it occupied many space in the postcard, but I still use it. I believe it also could cause Gusmao's brief remember for his striving history.
The date of Gusmao's autograph is Apr.11,2000, place is Dili. It is 71 days from my postcard was sent. the reply letter is 21 days from Gusmao autographed to received in Nanjing

4-5 and 4-6 This a very important philatelic matter. It recorded the history by way of the philatelic way to the first presidential election process and the UNTAET'S officers participation and supervision of the process: (1) Its post date is second day (May 22, 2002 in the postmark) of the election (May 21, 2002), because the May 21,2002 is Sunday that day the post office in East Timor is not open for business. (2) It use UN'S stamp that is UN unique issued stamp for a country, and covered "DILI CORREIOS TIMOR LESTE 2002.05.22" despatching postmark. (3) Its word and photos show Gusmao and another president candidate's figure, and Ms. Zhao himself and special representative of UN Mr. Sergio de Mello (He Unfortunately died in an explosion in Iraq on Aug.19,2003 as special representative for Iraq of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan); (4) It use a postcard issued by the "UNTAET--East Timor Public Administration" . Its back side is the police of East Timor (Graduation ceremony at the Police Academy, Dili, August 2001) and covered red landing postmark--"Nanjing (南京)2002.05.06". Because of these characteristics, I believe it is one of the world's most unique and precious postcards, especially for East Timor and "UNTA ET".
