李秋實的集郵天地

秋高氣爽，金色的田野上，飄散著濃郁的五谷芳香。豐收的喜悅，惹人心醉。

國慶在即，恰逢李秋實先生七十五華誕，他攜全家來北京做客，老友相聚，十分歡暢。談笑間，深感先生的集郵熱情不減當年，而大有愈燃愈烈之勢……

記憶中二十多年前，我認識了李潤芳先生，即現在的秋實摯友。他那時是黑龍江省肇東市第一職業高級中學的校長，其學校和他個人因辦學育人有方，成績斐然，多次被評為省級、市級先進單位、勞動模范。就連美國田納西州立大學社會管理學院院長夏茲博士、教授西白丁博士也曾到秋實先生任職的學校參觀考察。秋實先生是全國首批審定的中教高級教師。盡管教育教學工作很忙，可他從中學讀書時起就從未中斷自己的愛好——集郵。即使在那動亂的“文革”期間，為躲避“批判封、資、修”的沖擊，他那酷愛集郵之心，連同藏在小倉房地底下的郵票、郵品，仍靜靜地暗中發光，在心中閃亮。

李秋實先生的集郵藏品很豐富，研究有見地。他既有眼力，又有魄力；既有精力，又有實力。記得，1987年黑龍江省首次舉辦郵品拍賣會，他竟以1680元的價格拍下包括“從小愛科學”、“科技大會”和“香港郵展”兩個加字張在內的二十幾枚小型張，這在當時看似“天價”，少有人問津。可李秋實拍到它們沒過多久，這些小型張價格的攀升讓人難以想象。要說集郵成果，1989年為紀念新中國成立40周年，黑龍江省舉辦了大型集郵展覽，秋實先生平生第一次組編參展的《中國普通郵票（1950—1954）》郵集一舉榮獲一等獎，郵學家吳鳳崗先生于郵展現場為秋實揮筆題辭：“俱收并蓄，藏焉修焉——錄進學解及禮記中句狀集郵家之收藏與研究。”同年10月，該郵集被選送到北京參加中華全國集郵展覽，又獲全國郵展銀獎。正是他自身不懈地追求，刻苦地探研，勤奮地耕耘，在集郵領域逐步成為知名人士。由此，他先后擔任過肇東市集郵協會副會長、肇東市青少年集郵協會會長，擔任過黑龍江省集郵協會理事兼學術委員會委員。

筆者從黑龍江調到北京工作后，一度與李秋實先生會面的機會少了些，但在集郵的報刊、雜志上還經常看到他的文章。后來得知他從黑龍江遷到山東淄博，再后又到青島定居。所處地域雖然發生了變化，可他對集郵依然是奮力追求、樂此不疲。不管夏暑酷熱，不管嚴冬寒雪，不管百里之遙，不管乘船渡海，凡群眾性的集郵活動，他都主動參與，作為與郵友切磋郵識、交融情誼的難得機遇。他被青島市電臺請去作集郵知識講座，他被青島集郵研究會安排作專題發言，他被熱心的集郵者邀到家中輔導編組郵集。秋實先生把集郵當事業干，身體力行，實踐了“普及集郵知識義不容辭、提高郵集檔次奮發有為”的自我承諾。時隔不久，他精心組編的新中國人民幣舊幣值《中國普通郵票（1950—1954）》郵集，先后在1997年重慶全國郵展上榮獲大鍍金獎，在2010年杭州全國郵展上獲金獎加特別獎，在2001年香港第15屆和2014年吉隆坡·馬來西亞第29屆亞洲國際郵票展覽上均獲鍍金獎；而他的《中國普通郵票（1955—1975）》作為新中國人民幣新幣值郵集，首次參加全國郵展，就在2002年廣州·中華全國首屆老年集郵展覽上獲大鍍金獎加評審員祝賀，在2014年長沙全國郵展上又獲大鍍金獎加特別獎。由于他的影響、帶動、扶持，山東地區集郵新人的幾部傳統郵集也在全國郵展上披金掛銀。按秋實的話說：“從黑土地到黃土地，是來到了中華文明的發祥地。在這塊沃野上耕耘，是我一生的榮幸。”此間，秋實先生又先后擔任了淄博、青島和山東省的集郵學術委員會委員，他還是全國集郵聯郵展工作委員會傳統集郵指導小組的成員。在中華全國集郵聯合會成立二十周年表彰大會上，秋實先生再度被授予全國集郵先進個人稱號。令人欣喜的是，2011年在中華全國集郵聯合會第六屆五次理事會上，李秋實當選中華全國集郵聯合會會士。

李秋實先生作為有近四十年工作經驗的教育工作者，德高望眾、桃李滿天下。可他作為一名執著的集郵愛好者，尤其對新中國普通郵票情有獨鐘，歷經二十年的艱辛歷程，不斷地收集和研究、不斷地總結和積累其學術成果，精益求精，編寫出一部有特色、有創新又有實用和史料價值的專著——《中國普通郵票圖鑒（1950—2013）》，填補了普票研究領域的一項空白。我相信，本書的問世定會受到廣大集郵者的青睞與好評。

尋求李秋實先生集郵天地的人生軌跡，許多人會問他為什么愛集郵，他曾坦誠地笑著回答：“為了她，為了愛情；為了圓高中學生時代一位女同學幫助過的夢。”對于集郵，每個人都有不同的體會。有的人認識會有深度，有的人感受會有高度，有的人視野會有廣度。如今，五十多年過去了，秋實先生再談起這一話題，有其更深的感悟：“一個人取得成功，潛心研究、孜孜以求是基礎，自信是關鍵。只有銳意探索追求，道深則意更濃，情系集郵，生生不息。”一番話飽含人生哲理，道出集郵之真諦。由此，我深信李秋實先生在今后的集郵道路上，定會寶刀不老，銳意前行，還會春華秋實，秋夢留痕，終有所成，必結新的碩果。

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.
