Medal of Honour

The Medal of Honour (Chinese: 榮譽勳章, MH) is part of the honours system in Hong Kong( [http://www.medals.org.uk/hong-kong/hong-kong003.htm] ). It was created in 1997 to replace the British honours system after the transfer of sovereignty to the People's Republic of China and the establishment of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
