Comments

Very interesting food stamp in that it is for one person's needs for one month. No set weights, though these were probably established and known. This greatly differs from the format of most Chinese food stamps in that weight and type of food are primarily listed, without consideration as to how many people. Here is the direct opposite.
This was in one of the final years of food stamp usage in China.
