李秋实的集邮天地

秋高气爽，金色的田野上，飘散着浓郁的五谷芳香。丰收的喜悦，惹人心醉。

国庆在即，恰逢李秋实先生七十五华诞，他携全家来北京做客，老友相聚，十分欢畅。谈笑间，深感先生的集邮热情不减当年，而大有愈燃愈烈之势……

记忆中二十多年前，我认识了李润芳先生，即现在的秋实挚友。他那时是黑龙江省肇东市第一职业高级中学的校长，其学校和他个人因办学育人有方，成绩斐然，多次被评为省级、市级先进单位、劳动模范。就连美国田纳西州立大学社会管理学院院长夏兹博士、教授西白丁博士也曾到秋实先生任职的学校参观考察。秋实先生是全国首批审定的中教高级教师。尽管教育教学工作很忙，可他从中学读书时起就从未中断自己的爱好——集邮。即使在那动乱的“文革”期间，为躲避“批判封、资、修”的冲击，他那酷爱集邮之心，连同藏在小仓房地底下的邮票、邮品，仍静静地暗中发光，在心中闪亮。

李秋实先生的集邮藏品很丰富，研究有见地。他既有眼力，又有魄力；既有精力，又有实力。记得，1987年黑龙江省首次举办邮品拍卖会，他竟以1680元的价格拍下包括“从小爱科学”、“科技大会”和“香港邮展”两个加字张在内的二十几枚小型张，这在当时看似“天价”，少有人问津。可李秋实拍到它们没过多久，这些小型张价格的攀升让人难以想象。要说集邮成果，1989年为纪念新中国成立40周年，黑龙江省举办了大型集邮展览，秋实先生平生第一次组编参展的《中国普通邮票（1950—1954）》邮集一举荣获一等奖，邮学家吴凤岗先生于邮展现场为秋实挥笔题辞：“俱收并蓄，藏焉修焉——录进学解及礼记中句状集邮家之收藏与研究。”同年10月，该邮集被选送到北京参加中华全国集邮展览，又获全国邮展银奖。正是他自身不懈地追求，刻苦地探研，勤奋地耕耘，在集邮领域逐步成为知名人士。由此，他先后担任过肇东市集邮协会副会长、肇东市青少年集邮协会会长，担任过黑龙江省集邮协会理事兼学术委员会委员。

笔者从黑龙江调到北京工作后，一度与李秋实先生会面的机会少了些，但在集邮的报刊、杂志上还经常看到他的文章。后来得知他从黑龙江迁到山东淄博，再后又到青岛定居。所处地域虽然发生了变化，可他对集邮依然是奋力追求、乐此不疲。不管夏暑酷热，不管严冬寒雪，不管百里之遥，不管乘船渡海，凡群众性的集邮活动，他都主动参与，作为与邮友切磋邮识、交融情谊的难得机遇。他被青岛市电台请去作集邮知识讲座，他被青岛集邮研究会安排作专题发言，他被热心的集邮者邀到家中辅导编组邮集。秋实先生把集邮当事业干，身体力行，实践了“普及集邮知识义不容辞、提高邮集档次奋发有为”的自我承诺。时隔不久，他精心组编的新中国人民币旧币值《中国普通邮票（1950—1954）》邮集，先后在1997年重庆全国邮展上荣获大镀金奖，在2010年杭州全国邮展上获金奖加特别奖，在2001年香港第15届和2014年吉隆坡·马来西亚第29届亚洲国际邮票展览上均获镀金奖；而他的《中国普通邮票（1955—1975）》作为新中国人民币新币值邮集，首次参加全国邮展，就在2002年广州·中华全国首届老年集邮展览上获大镀金奖加评审员祝贺，在2014年长沙全国邮展上又获大镀金奖加特别奖。由于他的影响、带动、扶持，山东地区集邮新人的几部传统邮集也在全国邮展上披金挂银。按秋实的话说：“从黑土地到黄土地，是来到了中华文明的发祥地。在这块沃野上耕耘，是我一生的荣幸。”此间，秋实先生又先后担任了淄博、青岛和山东省的集邮学术委员会委员，他还是全国集邮联邮展工作委员会传统集邮指导小组的成员。在中华全国集邮联合会成立二十周年表彰大会上，秋实先生再度被授予全国集邮先进个人称号。令人欣喜的是，2011年在中华全国集邮联合会第六届五次理事会上，李秋实当选中华全国集邮联合会会士。

李秋实先生作为有近四十年工作经验的教育工作者，德高望众、桃李满天下。可他作为一名执着的集邮爱好者，尤其对新中国普通邮票情有独钟，历经二十年的艰辛历程，不断地收集和研究、不断地总结和积累其学术成果，精益求精，编写出一部有特色、有创新又有实用和史料价值的专著——《中国普通邮票图鉴（1950—2013）》，填补了普票研究领域的一项空白。我相信，本书的问世定会受到广大集邮者的青睐与好评。

寻求李秋实先生集邮天地的人生轨迹，许多人会问他为什么爱集邮，他曾坦诚地笑着回答：“为了她，为了爱情；为了圆高中学生时代一位女同学帮助过的梦。”对于集邮，每个人都有不同的体会。有的人认识会有深度，有的人感受会有高度，有的人视野会有广度。如今，五十多年过去了，秋实先生再谈起这一话题，有其更深的感悟：“一个人取得成功，潜心研究、孜孜以求是基础，自信是关键。只有锐意探索追求，道深则意更浓，情系集邮，生生不息。”一番话饱含人生哲理，道出集邮之真谛。由此，我深信李秋实先生在今后的集邮道路上，定会宝刀不老，锐意前行，还会春华秋实，秋梦留痕，终有所成，必结新的硕果。

Foreword

Li Qiushi’s Philatelic World

In the clear and crisp autumn days，the gold fields gave off strong fragrances of ripe crops heralding the bumper harvests that brought happiness to all hearts.

Li Qiushi’s 75th birthday was coincided with the coming National Day，and he visited Beijing with his family.We met happily each other，and in the friendly conversation I found that the philatelic passion of my friend was as strong as in the early years.

It was more than 20 years ago，I got to know Li Runfang，my bosom friend renamed Li Qiushi now.At that time，he was the principal of the No.1 Vocational High Middle School of Zhaodong County，Heilongjiang Province.With fine management and outstanding achievement，the school and Li Qiushi were rated as the advanced unit and model educator on several occasions at the provincial and municipal levels.The school became known far and wide，and even Doctor Shards，former president，and Professor Spaulding of the Social Management Institute of Tennessee University，USA，paid a special tour to the school.

Li Qiushi was among those first given the academic title of High Grade Middle School Teacher in China，and though busy in work，he had insisted his hobby of stamp collecting from his middle school years.In the chaotic period of the Cultural Revolution，to avoid to be labeled with “feudalism，capitalism，and revisionism”，he hid his love of stamp collecting in the heart and his collection under the floor，but it was his love and collection shining in the dark and guiding him through those hard days.

Li Qiushi owns a rich collection with profound studies.Insightful and vigorous，he is a man of energy and competence.At the first stamp auction of Heilongjiang Province in 1987，he spent 1，680 yuan，a skyhigh price then，for a successful bid of more than 20 souvenir and miniature sheets including T.41M Study Science from Childhood，J.25M National Science Conference，the two overprints of J.42M Postage Stamp Exhibition of the People’s Republic of China in Hong Kong，and other sheets.Not long after his purchase，the prices for these sheets shot up unimaginably.

Li Qiushi accomplished outstanding achievements in philately.On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of founding of PRC in 1989，Heilongjiang Province held a grand philatelic exhibition，and the collection titled China Definitives（1950-1954）compiled by Mr.Li Qiushi for the first time won the first grade prize at the exhibition.Wu Fenggang，a senior philatelist，wrote him at the spot an inscription reading “Collect all for saving，and cultivate mind for collecting”.In Oct.the same year，the collection was sent to China National Philatelic Exhibition held in Beijing and won a silver medal.Through persistent pursuit，painstaking study，and diligent work，he became a well-known figure step by step in the philatelic circles.He held posts of the vice president of Zhaodong Philatelic Society，president of Zhaodong Youth Philatelic Society，and a member of the council and academic committee of Heilongjiang Philatelic Association.

After my move from Heilongjiang to Beijing，we seldom met each other for a period，but I often read his articles in philatelic journals and newspapers.Later，I was informed that he moved from Heilongjiang to Zibo，and then settled in Qingdao of Shandong Province.Though moved from place to place，he never relaxed his pursuit of stamp collecting；and no matter in hot summer or cold winter，he would rush a mass philatelic activity whenever it was held in spite of far distance and travel means.He considered these activities as rare chances to exchange philatelic knowledge and to reach mutual understandings between fellow collectors.On invitation，he launched philatelic forums at Qingdao TV station，gave lectures in local philatelic societies，and guided exhibit compilations at homes of fellow collectors，all of which showed that he believed philately is his career，and he should practice what he preached that “Strive to popularize philatelic knowledge as an obligatory duty and to upgrade collections for better outcomes”.

His collection of China Definitives with Denominations in Old Renminbi（1950-1954）won a grand vermeil medal at the national philatelic exhibition of Chongqing in 1997，a gold medal with special prize at the national philatelic exhibition of Hangzhou in 2010，a vermeil medal at the 15th International Philatelic Exhibition of Hong Kong in 2001，and another vermeil medal at the 29th Asian International Philatelic Exhibition of Kuala Lumpur，Malaysia in 2014.His another collection of China Definitives with Denominations in New Renminbi（1955-1975）debuted at the national philatelic exhibition in 2002 and won a grand vermeil medal with judge’s felicitation at the First China National Aged Philatelic Exhibition of Guangzhou and got a grand vermeil medal with special prize at the national philatelic exhibition of Changsha in 2014.Encouraged，assisted，and supported by him，several collections on traditional themes by beginners of Shandong won gold and silver medals at the national stamp shows，the summary of which was his words that “I arrived from the black land to the yellow，the origin of the Chinese civilization，and to till on this fertile field is my lifetime honor.”

In these days，Li Qiushi became a member of the academic committees of Zibo and Qingdao philatelic societies as well as Shandong Philatelic Association.He was also a member of the guiding group for traditional philately led by the Working Committee of National Philatelic Exhibitions under the ACPF.At the meeting marking the 20th anniversary of establishment of the ACPC，Li Qiushi was awarded again the title of advanced national philatelic worker，and it was happy to know that Li Qiushi was elected an ACPF fellow at the 5th session of 6th council of the ACPF in 2011.

With students all over the country，Li Qiushi was a respectable educator with nearly 40 years of experience.As a dedicated stamp lover，he specialized in definitive stamps of New China.Through continuous collecting and study of philatelic items and academic findings in the past 20 years or more，he worked out a monograph titled An Illustrated Catalogue of China Definitives（1950-2013）.With unique features，new findings，historical values，and practical use，the catalogue fills in a gap in the field of definitive stamp studies，and its publication will be welcomed by the mass collectors.

To follow Li Qiushi’s life path in philately，many would like to ask where his ardent hobby came from.He once answered frankly with a smile that “it was for love，for a girl classmate who helped him to fulfill a dream in the senior middle school days.”To stamp collecting，each collector has his own understanding in depth，height，and width.To comment on this topic again 50 years later，Li Qiushi said with deep feelings that “The base of success in philately is diligent study and unceasing pursuit，the key factor is self-confidence，while the correct way is to explore harder，to study deeper，and to input more passions.”These words contained rich life philosophy and revealed the truth of philately.Therefore，I am deeply convinced that on the philatelic road，Li Qiushi will forge ahead，keep his philatelic sword ever sharp，blaze new paths in exploration，and get more fruits of success.
