五四运动,是一场全国范围的反帝反封建的革命运动,标志着中国新旧民主主义革命的转换,促进了马克思主义在中国的广泛传播,为中国共产党的成立在思想上作了准备。五四运动是反对帝国主义企图灭亡中国的救亡运动,并提出了对于推动中国历史前进的、长期发生作用的带根本性的口号:民主、科学与新文化。
五四运动是中国旧民主主义革命的结束和新民主主义革命的开端,中国革命从此进入了一个新的历史时期。中华人民共和国成立后,中央人民政府政务院于1949年12月正式宣布以5月4日为中国青年节。 1989年5月4日,为纪念五四运动七十周年,我国发行“五四运动七十周年1919-1989”纪念邮票,编号J158,全套1枚。
邮票图案取材于天安门广场上的人民英雄纪念碑基座上的“五四”运动浮雕,浮雕的画卷右下角向上翻卷,象征“五四”运动掀开中国历史新的一页。
