Hi,
That's quite a confusion of characters!
The black surcharge was applied by the Japanese puppet government.
The green surcharge was then applied by the Republic of China in September 1945.
It's SG 775 / Scott #616.

Thanks for that. Not seen a 'double' over print before. It was only when I enlarged it and photographed it that it was possible to see the green properly at all.

Scott does not mention that this stamp was printed on thin & thick paper.
The thin paper is common, probably this one and at minimal value
The thick paper is 100X

There are many stamps from the '30s and early '40s that had an overprint from one faction. Then a few months later as the tide of war changed an overprint changing the value or area of legal usage a second overprint was added. Usually the printig authorities managed to find enough space to not overlap so completely.
While many collectors seem to skip over the "Sun Yat Sen" and the "Martyrs" series stamps, they are a very interesting set to work on. The history of WW II does not start in December 1941 at Pearl Harbor but years earlier in China, Manchukuo, Eretria. and Finland, and these stamps played their part.
The "Junk with locomotive in the background" was issued in three fairly easy to sort sets, but quite often collectors just mix them ogether and move on..

Does anyone recognize the stamp here. It is on China, Empire period 1940 of Martyr Sung Chiao-jen and appears to have double Japanese occupation overprinting. Can anyone tell me about it?

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
