The Order of Liberation

The Order of Liberation (解放勋章 in Chinese, Jiěfàng Xūnzhāng in pinyin) was a Chinese military award awarded to heroes of the Liberation of mainland China during the Second Chinese Civil War between 3 September 1945 and 30 June 1950.

The Order was established by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and awarded by the President of the People’s Republic of China. The recipients of the award were the soldiers and civilian personnel of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and the former members of the Republic of China Army who participated in the uprising.

The medal was awarded in three grades:

  • First Class Medal.
  • Second Class Medal.
  • Third Class Medal.

The liberation medals bear a central red star and Tiananmen Square. It’s rumored that the First Class Liberation Medal is struck in pure gold.
