New enough, long enough, QPQ done, sourcing fine, no copyvio issues. I've suggested a somewhat more interesting hook based on the same sourcing as ALT 1, adding that the medal was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Coretheapple (talk) 23:31, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

@Coretheapple: Thanks for your review. I'm fine with ALT1. -Zanhe (talk) 16:07, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

@Zanhe: could you provide an inline cite for the medal being destroyed during the Cultural Revolution? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 14:49, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Giving @Zanhe: another ping as time is getting on. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:09, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah and Cwmhiraeth: Sorry I've been travelling and did not login for a few days. I've now added two inline cites. Thanks for keeping an eye on this. -Zanhe (talk) 06:15, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
