A postcard on one of the mascots of Beijing Olympic Games, Huanhuan (欢欢). An red-color cancellation from Shangdong (山东) found on the lower right indicating this card was mistakenly sent there. Thanks zz.

A 80 Fen Beijing Olympic Games Logo was pre-printed on the postcard. This postcard was sent from Guizhou Yinhong Chanxi 1 (贵州 印江 缠溪1) on 9.8.2010. Without additional stamp and postcode, it was mistakenly as local addressee postcard. Attempt was made to translate the address to Chinese (pencil writing). As they could not locate that translated address, a red-color "unable to locate receiver" postmark was stamped. Someone spotted it was wrongly sent to their office, so they cancelled this marking with the blue color ball point pen and also the postcode. A tax mark with the fine is also put on the card. A thick black line under "Malaysia" was added to indicate the destination.
