    收集了一段时期的八国联军封片之后，我本想根据军邮片及其时间，绘一张地图。但这个想法后来未能实现。八个国家的封片我并未收全，只得将近百枚英、法、日、帝俄、美、德诸国寄发的军邮封，依阅别抽在我的巨大的封片邮册中。
    比利时没有参加八国联军，比国在华也未正式发行过“客邮”票。我仅在比京邮票商店中，见过比国五生丁、十生丁、二十五生丁、五十生丁四种，邮票上有CHINE的加盖，且索价昂贵。店主当时劝我说，他经营邮店近二十年，这种票是首次遇到，机会稍纵即逝，劝我不要失却良机。我说，这种邮票既未正式发行，不能算作邮票。店主反驳说，各种试印邮票、无齿票，哪一种是经过邮局正式发行的？这种加盖CHINE的邮票，既属政府邮局加盖，就有集邮价值，物以稀为贵，抢购的人还多着呢！我仍不为所动，交易没有作成。

Belgium Post Office in China

In 1908 the Belgium King Leopold II approved a Belgium Post Office in China, and current Belgium stamps, surcharged "Chine", reached the Belgium Consul in China in August the same year. Being advised of this case, the Chinese Postal Secretary, T. Piry, curtly rejected the idea and contacted the Ministry of External Affairs (then called Waiwubu) for action. So the surcharged stamps were all returned to Belgium but a very few left in China. The existence of copies of handstamped "specimen" was not known for over 14 years, until Baron Vinck de Winneseale published an inventory of the M.G.Caroly collection in 1922. Since then, less than half a dozen sets have appeared in stamp auction around the world.

1908 overprinted "CHINE" specimens, Type I. "CHINE" 11mm long; thin lettering:

Type II. "CHINE" 10mm long; thicker lettering:
