Who do you look up to? No matter what stage of life you're at, it's good to have someone who inspires you to be the best version of yourself.
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席令) on Sept 17 to award 42 individuals the Medal of the Republic, the Friendship Medal and various honorary titles, China Daily reported. The people who received medals have all made outstanding contributions to the nation's construction and development.
The 89-year-old Shen Jilan is one of the eight people who were awarded the Medal of the Republic. She is the only deputy (代表) in China to serve at all 13 National People's Congresses (人民代表大会) since 1954. She witnessed the development of the People's Congress system. She has been engaged in making and revising national laws most of her life. It was she who proposed the clause on ''equal pay for equal work'' between men and women, which was written into the first Constitution of PRC in 1954.
China's development can't continue without lawmakers, nor can it move forward without scientists.
Ye Peijian, who received the honorary title ''the people's scientist'', has been devoted to China's lunar program for two decades. Known as ''the Father of Chang'e Probes'', his team of aerospace engineers put lunar landers on the moon. On Jan 3 of this year, the Chang'e 4 probe touched down on the moon's far side, marking the program’s latest achievement.
''The space program is about 40 years late with the US, but we have used Chinese technology in our program, '', Ye told GBTimes when asked about the lunar exploration program.
Also receiving awards are six foreign friends who have lent their hands to assist with China's prosperity. Raul Castro Ruz, former Cuban president, was awarded a Friendship Medal.
This honor recognizes ''the revolutionary work of his life and his contribution to strengthening relations between Cuba and China, '' said Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, president of the Council of State and Council of Ministers of Cuba, on social media.
Almost every country in the world has official honors reserved for distinguished people. For example, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor given in the United States. ''It recognizes people who have made an especially praise-worthy contribution to world peace, cultural or other significant public endeavors. '' The late British scientist Stephen Hawking was once given this award.
