A Cover from China

This cover is special. The postmark is from Laofu Shan, Yangzhou Jiangsu. Laofu Shan means Tiger Mountain. At the back of the Laofu Shan mark, there is a word "Lin" in bracket (Lin means temporary). Four pieces of tiger stamps and a definitive stamp were used as postage to send this cover. So, the temporary postmark is a special one, and I guess this temporary postmark was created in Yangzhou Jiangsu Post Office to cater the new issue of the tiger stamp. The cover is also decorated by a paper cut of tiger..... my this friend who sent me this cover is talented in paper cutting, and he made this special cover for me!
