A souvenir stamp and coin collection of Peking Opera star Mei Lanfang on stage was released on December 20, 2006, the biggest event to commemorate his memory.

The collection was composed of 11 gold and silver coins, 64 stamps and eight exquisite telephone cards. They featured ten pictures of the star before his death. Two of the pictures had never been seen by the public before.

The pictures showed Mei Lanfang in classic Peking Opera poses. Together, they represented some of the milestone moments in the history of the opera.

The ten photos were used exclusively in the special collection.
