School name and logo
The "Cheung Kong" from CKGSB's name comes directly from the name of Li Ka Shing's Cheung Kong (Holdings). "Cheung Kong" in Cantonese (and "Chang Jiang" in Mandarin) is the name for China's longest river, the Yangtze River. The three vertical lines in the logo represent the ancient Chinese writing style, while the three horizontal ones indicate Western style writing, overall symbolizing the integration of Eastern and Western values and knowledge in the school. The lower right corner represents the Mandarin initials of the Yangtze River, "Chang Jiang".[3]
