Grand Bauhinia Medal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grand Bauhinia Medal (traditional Chinese: 大紫荊勳章) the highest award under the Hong Kong honours and awards system, is to recognise the selected person's life-long and highly significant contribution to the well-being of Hong Kong. The awardee is entitled to the postnominal letters GBM and the style "The Honourable". (Bauhinia, Bauhinia blakeana, is the floral emblem of Hong Kong.) It is created in 1997 to replace the British honours system of the Order of the British Empire after the transfer of sovereignty to People's Republic of China and the establishment of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
