Flying Pigeon: Honours
In 1954, Flying Pigeon bicycles took first place honors in the first Chinese national quality evaluation. In following comparisons and appraisals of Chinese bicycle quality, Flying Pigeon bicycles received such prizes and honors as the National Silver Medal, the Golden Prize of Light Industry Series Products (at an international exposition), the Best-selling Domestic Product Prize, and the National Best Post-sale Service Prize. In April 1994, Flying Pigeon was listed as the "National Key Trademark Brand under Protection" by the Chinese National Administration Bureau of Industry and Commerce. The company has also passed the ISO 9001 international certification. Flying Pigeon bicycles have been presented by the Chinese government as a national gift to American President Bush, Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi, and Cuban President Fidel Castro, among others.

Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or honours:
“We saw by the flitting clouds, by the first russet tinge on the hills, by the rushing river, the cottages on shore, and the shore itself, so coolly fresh and shining with dew, and later in the day, by the hue of the grape-vine, the goldfinch on the willow, the flickers flying in flocks, and when we passed near enough to the shore, as we fancied, by the faces of men, that the fall had commenced.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
