Tips

culture
Middle tier of the PLA general officer ranks: 少将 (major general) → 中将 (lieutenant general) → 上将 (general). Typical holders command a 集团军 or major fleet; most of China's top service commanders sit at 中将 or 上将.
mistakes
The pronunciation is zhōngjiàng (jiàng = 'general'), NOT zhōngjiāng (jiāng = 'about to'). is a 多音字 (multi-reading character) — jiāng in 将来/即将 vs. jiàng in 将军/上将/中将.
