When Hong Kong returns to the motherland in another year, every year after the handover, the Hong Kong government will publicly confer decorations and a list of justices of the peace on the day of the handover. The two lists bring together people from all walks of life, including many celebrities and celebrities. Being able to confer honors and become a Justice of the Peace aims to make outstanding or great contributions to society, and most celebrities and celebrities are originally from good backgrounds, because they are wealthy, they will often give back to the society, shine in different fields, and over time become people who have contributed to society. Therefore, they have become the backbone of the awards list and the list of Justices of the Peace every year, and 2024 will be no exception, Hong Kong's super-rich Lee Shau-kee's son Lee Ka-kit, Lin Jianyue's daughter Lin Tian'er, and Stanley Ho's second-room daughter Ho Chaoyu are all on the list.
Among the many wealthy second generations and second generations of businessmen who have been awarded by the government, Lee Shau-kee's eldest son, Lee Ka-kit, has received the highest honor, the Grand Bauhinia Medal, and he is only 61 years old this year, which can be said to be the youngest person who has received this honor in the past. There are five levels of honour awarded by the Hong Kong Government each year, namely the Medal of Honour, the Bronze Bauhinia Medal, the Silver Bauhinia Medal, the Gold Bauhinia Medal and the Grand Bauhinia Medal. The so-called scarcity is expensive, and the higher the level, the higher the weight. As the highest level of the medal, the Grand Bauhinia Medal is the highest honor, and it is to be commended for people who have made significant contributions to Hong Kong, so under normal circumstances, the people who can receive this medal are of a certain age, such as Huo Zhenting, who won this medal last year, and Shi Ziqing are both over 70 years old, and Li Jiajie, who won this medal this year, is only in his early 60s, which is relatively young.
It is not easy to obtain the Grand Bauhinia Star, it is not simple, there are many hard conditions, the most basic requirement is that you are a permanent resident of Hong Kong, and you must care and support for a long time and identify with the cause of the country, and you must also contribute to Hong Kong in many aspects, so there are very few people who receive this honor every year, basically no more than five people. Lee Ka Kit became one of the five people this year, and his face is quite bright, because he is the first person in the second generation of Hong Kong's four major real estate developers to receive this award, and he won it at the age of 61, and Lee Ka Kit's father Lee Shau Kee won this award in 2007, when he was 79 years old, so this shows that Lee Ka Kit is better than the blue.
Lee Ka-kit was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal and was commended by the Government for his long-term dedication to serving the community by leading Henderson Land to provide land and vacant flats since 2017 to promote the development of transitional housing, providing temporary accommodation for underprivileged families in need and those who have been waiting for public housing for many years. He is also a philanthropist, making generous donations to charity projects and disaster relief efforts in Hong Kong and the Mainland. At the same level, Lee Ka-kit's contribution lies in his great assistance to Hong Kong's housing problem, which happens to be a problem in Hong Kong, so he is recognized as a person who has made a great contribution. After receiving this award, Li Jiajie bluntly said that he felt honored to serve the country and Hong Kong, and thanked all sectors of society, his family and the group for their support, and he will continue to work hard to support the beautiful development of the country and Hong Kong.
Li Jiajie won the Grand Bauhinia Medal, while the other rich second generation and Shang second generation basically appeared on the list of justices of the peace. Justice of the Peace is a title, in the past, it was a symbol of status and status in Hong Kong, but now the function tends to be more broadly meaningful, and generally people who can obtain the honor of Justice of the Peace, provided that they have to contribute to Hong Kong society and be enthusiastic about public welfare, most of the rich second generation and the second generation of businessmen can meet these conditions, so every year the list will see many names of the rich second generation and the second generation of businessmen. In the list of Justices of the Peace in 2024, Stanley Ho's second-room daughter Pansy Ho, the daughter of the Sasha family Kwok Shihui, Yang Shoucheng's son Yang Zhenglong, and Lin Jianyue's eldest daughter Lin Tianer are all on the list, among which Lin Tianer is the second person among her sisters to receive the title, and her sister Lin Haoyi has won this honor in 2020.
It is also worth mentioning that Hong Kong's justices of the peace are divided into official justices of the peace and non-official justices of the peace, the difference is whether they hold public office, most of the rich second generation and the second generation of businessmen do not hold public office, so they only receive the honor of non-official justices of the peace, but there is no difference between the two in terms of functions. For the second generation of rich and businessmen, being able to obtain the title of Justice of the Peace can be regarded as a recognition of personal identity and status, and in addition to Justice of the Peace, there will be opportunities to award medals in the future, which is a higher level.
