01 / Overview

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the commitment of "People's Post" was engraved on the dark green mailbox, and postal institutions were given a new mission to serve the people.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

Over the past 40 years, the development of the postal industry has bridged two gaps - the gap between people and the gap between urban and rural areas. Since ancient times, "postal" and "political" have been closely linked. In the 5000 year history of Chinese civilization, the primary function of "postal" is to "facilitate politics", which is often only enjoyed by those who live "above the temple". After the liberation in 1949, the postal industry truly gained new life. Under the leadership of the people's government, the coverage of postal services in China has rapidly expanded. Especially in the nearly 40 years of reform and opening up, postal delivery work has undergone earth shattering changes, with greatly improved delivery speed and quality, greatly facilitating people's communication needs and the needs of national modernization construction.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
