Something interesting about China's generic portraits.

As some of you will probably know, the portrait for Field Marshal Du Yuming that you get when playing China is actually a modified version of Mao An-Ying, Mao's son who later died in the Korean War.

But I managed to find out Paradox got their bald Asian general portrait from Chen Shaokuan, one of Nationalist China's most famous naval commanders.

So as of my playthrough, it seems that Chen is currently ruling democratic China, being the Decisive Battle expert and leading my paratrooper divisions all at once.

Also, for the record, Zhang Lan actually had hair and a beard.
