Tips

culture
Middle tier of the PLA general officer ranks: 少将 (major general) to 中将 (lieutenant general) to 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 ( = 'general'), NOT zhōngjiāng ( = '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.
