The Emblem of the Hong Kong-UK Reunification Campaign
The emblem of the Hong Kong-UK Reunification Campaign comprises of four parts: The coat of arms of (British) Hong Kong, the Union Flag, olive branches and the words “Hong Kong-UK Reunification Campaign 香港歸英運動”。
The coat of arms of Hong Kong was placed in the middle part of the emblem of the Campaign. The coat of arms symbolizes the aim of our campaign – reunite Hong Kong with the United Kingdom. The coat of arms had been in use in British Hong Kong since it was granted on 21 January 1959 and later adopted on the colonial flag in July of that year. The use of the arms (by the Hong Kong Government) ended in 1997 due to the illegal transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong. The arms featured two traditional Chinese junks facing each other, and on a red embattled chief a golden mural crown. The crest was a crowned lion holding a pearl, and the supporters were a lion representing British Empire (Great Britain/ The UK) and a dragon representing Qing Empire. The shield and supporters stood on a compartment, consisting of an island, with a scroll bearing the words “Hong Kong”. The two junks symbolise the importance of Eastern-type of trade on the sea surrounding Hong Kong. The naval crown symbolises Hong Kong’s links with the Navy and the Merchant Navy, and the battlements commemorate the Battle of Hong Kong during World War II. In the crest, the pearl held by the lion indicates the small but precious nature of Hong Kong. It also recalls the romantic phrase “Pearl of the Orient” referring to Hong Kong. The island symbolises the beginning of the colony as an island and represents the maritime and hilly geography of Hong Kong.
The Union Flag was featured behind the coat of arms of Hong Kong to symbolize the aim of our campaign and represent the close relationship between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.
The olive branch symbolises peace and victory. It represents Hong Kong could reunite with the United Kingdom successfully in a peaceful way. There were 18 leaves and 18 olives representing the 18 districts in Hong Kong.
The words “Hong Kong-UK Reunification Campaign 香港歸英運動” was placed on top of the emblem.
