Postal service is a business run by the state or directly engaged in delivering all kinds of mail (letters or articles), which has the characteristics of connecting politics, trade and people. Postal service is a kind of productive force. For example, Jing Tang Ji said: "A letter meeting is a meeting to exchange views, concentrate topics and handle affairs by means of national postal transport information in the form of circular letters." 1On March 20th, 896, Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty memorialized Zhu Pi, officially approved the establishment of the General Post Office of Qing Dynasty, and China Modern Post was born.
China Post has experienced semi-feudal and semi-colonial post 1840 since the Opium War, Chunghwa Post during the Republic of China, People's Post during the Revolutionary War in China, Post that has contributed to the development of people's posts and telecommunications and national economy since the founding of New China, Post that has been reformed to meet the needs of national economic development in the new period, and Post that is closely related to the development of people's livelihood in the future!
In the early days of the founding of New China, the postal communication network in China was poor, with few outlets and outdated equipment. By the end of 1949, there were only 26,328 post offices in China (except Tibet and Taiwan Province Province), with an average service area of 364.6 square kilometers and an average service population of 2 1000. There are only letters, parcels, money orders and other businesses, and the per capita mail volume is only 1. 1, which is the total postal business in the whole year.
Premier Zhou wrote an inscription "Sticking to the pulse of Wan Li".
Since the founding of New China, especially since the implementation of reform and opening up, China Post has developed rapidly and healthily, with its postal network extending in all directions, covering the whole country and connecting with the world, and its comprehensive strength has been continuously enhanced, and it has gradually embarked on a postal development road with China characteristics. Mainly manifested in: the communication ability has been significantly enhanced, the level of technical equipment has been significantly improved, the business operation has achieved remarkable results, the service level has been continuously improved, and foreign cooperation and exchanges have been increasingly enhanced. Up to now, China has basically formed a modern postal network with comprehensive utilization of aviation, railways and highways, connecting urban and rural areas, covering the whole country and reaching the world. It has truly realized Premier Zhou Enlai's expectation of "mailing Wan Li is a national vein".
