After the founding of New China, he was a pioneer of stamp design in New China and a professional stamp designer in China.

The life of the character
Sun Chuanzhe, 19 16, a native of Ningbo, Zhejiang. The picturesque scenery in his hometown has given him a pair of beautiful eyes since he was a child. His father is a bibliophile who is good at painting and calligraphy. Influenced by his father, Sun Chuanzhe showed great interest in painting from an early age. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to Shanghai Art School. Two years later, he entered the Art Department of Nanjing Central University to study painting and studied under the famous painter Mr. Xu Beihong. By the time 1937 graduated, Sun Chuanzhe had learned sketch, oil painting and Chinese painting. He is determined to contribute what he has learned to the turbulent motherland. However, it backfired, because he couldn't find a job and his ideal came to nothing. Forced by life, he returned to Shanghai from Ningbo and began to do odd jobs.
1947. Disappointed, Sun Chuanzhe accidentally found an advertisement in the newspaper. Shanghai Post Office needed a stamp designer, and he became the lucky one among 80 applicants. Since then, I have started my own stamp design career. By the time 1949 New China was founded, he felt that his talent had finally come into play for the first time. With love and gratitude for the new China, he devoted himself enthusiastically to stamp design. Hard life has perfected his skills. He designs quickly and has a wide range of subjects, but he is never proud of it. On the contrary, as he himself said, "in stamp design, quantity and quality can not be ignored." Because of designing stamps, Sun Lao made many friends and admirers. But he is sincere and approachable, and he is still very enthusiastic about stamp collectors.
All stamps designed by Sun Chuanzhe have a story. For example, the stamps and sheetlets of Mei Lanfang's stage art designed by him (designed by Wu Jiankun) are not only warmly welcomed by philatelists, but also praised by Peking Opera artists. The commentary believes that this set of stamps vividly depicts Mr. Mei Lanfang's elegant stage style with accurate and vivid brushstrokes. To this end, Sun Chuanzhe has made great efforts. He repeatedly watched the performance of Mei Baojiu, the son of Mr. Mei Lanfang, and carefully studied the clothes and stage props worn by Mr. Mei Lanfang. "Where there is a will, there is a way", this set of stamps has stood the test of time. Goldfish is another set of very popular stamps. Mr. Sun himself likes keeping goldfish very much, and a lot of inspiration comes from his observation of these lovely little creatures. In order to choose the right variety from many varieties, Mr. Sun went to Beihai to consult an old man who had raised three generations of goldfish. With the help of the old man, 12 kinds of goldfish were selected and depicted on a set of stamps. As he said, "I hope my stamps can not only bring happiness and knowledge to people, but also leave something memorable." Indeed, not only the stamps of Mei Lanfang's stage art and goldfish, but also other stamps such as Huangshan and 700 years of Guan Hanqing's drama creation show Sun Chuanzhe's profound artistic skill and perfect artistic pursuit.
