China / USA: United States 5 cent postage stamp with engraving of Abraham Lincoln and Sun Yat-sen, 1942

Sun Yat-sen, founding father of the Republic of China, appears with Abraham Lincoln on a 1942 stamp.

Sun Yat-sen’s 'Three Principles' (Nationalism, Democracy, and People's Livelihood) reflect a concept he admired from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address: 'Of the people, by the people, and for the people'.
