China Post is scheduled to issue a set of 4 special stamps titled "Children's Games (II)" on June 1, 2019. The total face value of the complete set is 4 yuan.

Games are the release of children's nature and the most beautiful memories of childhood. A happy childhood is often spent playing games with friends. Endless imagination, countless childlike joys, and creativity that bursts out anytime and anywhere are all contained in games.

This set of stamps depicts four games popular among modern children: puzzle solving, sandcastle building, roller skating, and block building. Among them, two are educational games and two are sports games. The content of "puzzling the Great Wall" in the first stamp echoes the concept of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The four stamps are designed based on the concept of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Puzzle solving and block building represent spring and winter, set in indoor scenes; sandcastle building and roller skating represent summer and autumn, set in outdoor scenes. The stamps express the theme through unique compositions, with bright colors and vivid characters. The designer has also included 12 little pigs in the images of the four stamps, and there are many hidden "easter eggs" waiting for you to discover. When viewed under an ultraviolet lamp, the same stamp images will show different wonderful scenes.

This set of stamps is designed by Jing Shaozong, an animation director and picture book artist who also designed the first set of "Children's Games" stamps. It is printed by Beijing Stamp Factory using the photogravure process.
