Although Dr. Sun Yat Sen passed away in March 1925, he was only buried in the Nanjing mausoleum in June 1929. Singapore Hua Pao issued a special commemorative issue in June 1929 to mark this event. This particular magazine found its way to Canada as seen from the stamp on the front cover which states “Wah Sun Book Shop, Vancouver, BC”. This could indicate an international distribution of the Hua Pao to Chinese communities in North America.
