Help needed to identify Chinese medals.

[Lampwick]

I'd be obliged if anyone could identify these Chinese medals for me reading left to right. Thanks in advance.

Why you say these are Chinese medals?

[Lampwick]

That's what they were sold to me as. I stand to be corrected however. Maybe they're Thai or Burmese. The Mao badge was another pointer to their being Chinese.

1. On top: Army 30th Division; At bottom: Sharpshooting award
2. Central army officer school
3. On top: Northeast democratic allied army; At bottom: working hard medal

Since no writing on other medals so no idea what they are.
Can you enlarge the bottom of Mao's one so I can see the writing at bottom?

[Lampwick]

Thank you Chen.

There are 4 wordings from left to right:
1.9
2. big
3.million
4. years of living

Sometime you can not just translate word by word but have to look at the meaning of the whole sentence. The whole sentence actually means" No. 9 Congress meeting Love Live"

Thanks again. What are the two characters in the centre of the large yellow medal? It might be totally far fetched but I can see Orthodox Christian crosses and (perhaps) the letters IHS as found in Christian churches.

No idea, does not look like Chinese writing.

[chen]

Except that Mao's badge, most if not all the remaining badges are Nationalist China( today Taiwan) badges due to the sun on the badge.

Except that badge with Mao, all others badges in this thread are modern chinese fantasy fakes.

JapanX is right. Not worth translating.

Correct, all the medals are fake.
The obvious giveaway is the red plastic type "ribbon"....these things are meant to be medals with proper medal ribbon on them.
You can buy these on any street corner in any city in China......they are tourist stuff.
