"The word ‘general’… is no different from ‘squadron commander’ or ‘battalion commander’: merely the name for a rank and a duty. Nevertheless, very few ever make it that far. It is a place that can only be reached by those who have come back through death's doors many times, and achieved many great feats. In consequence, the general gets the responsibility and tremendous honour of fighting with the lives of millions at his command. Therefore, his presence is weighty—therefore he shines brighter than the sun." ~Wang Qi
