A staff member with Chongqing’s first Flying Tigers post office displays a postcard and stamp yesterday. The post office, reportedly the first of its kind in the world, was set up yesterday to mark the 78th anniversary of the start of China’s eight-year resistance against Japanese invasion. Most of the Flying Tigers were stationed in Chongqing, where the then central government was located. Activities were held yesterday nationwide to mark the “July 7 Incident” of 1937, when Japanese troops attacked Lugou Bridge, also known as Marco Polo Bridge, a crucial access point to Beijing.
