Founded in March 1904, the Red Cross Society of China is one of the oldest non-governmental organizations in modern Chinese history. Red Cross organizations are the most influential and widely recognized international organizations worldwide. The Red Cross is not only a spirit but also a banner that transcends national borders, ethnic groups, and beliefs, guiding the global humanitarian movement. In recent years, the Red Cross Society of China has played an important role in major disaster relief, protecting life and health, and promoting human peace and progress. A number of outstanding Red Cross volunteers have emerged, doing numerous good deeds for the Party, the country, and the people. The Red Cross spirit of "humanity, fraternity, and dedication" is in line with China's excellent traditional culture and highly consistent with the core socialist values, serving as an important embodiment of the progress of human civilization.

The stamp design takes the Red Cross as the core element, combined with interlocking heart-shaped patterns and doves of peace. The Red Cross bathed in sunlight symbolizes the brilliant radiance of the Red Cross spirit of "humanity, fraternity, and dedication," reflecting the glorious 120-year development history of China's Red Cross cause. This stamp set is designed by Xia Jingqiu and printed by Beijing Stamp Printing Co., Ltd. using combined offset and engraving printing technology.
