Xue yuan

Xue yuan (, literally: ''learner'' or ''one who learns'' in English) is the equivalent of officer cadet of western, especially within the anglosphere, armed forces within the People's Liberation Army. The rank was established in 1988 as part of the revival of the use of rank by the People's Liberation Army. No equivalent rank existed in the pre-Cultural Revolution system of rank used by the PLA between 1955 and 1965 because of an effort to make all service members look uniform. All uniforms, from the common private all the way up to generals were the same. Provided by Wikipedia
