Major General Jiang Zhonghai was not related by blood to Jiang Yan, yet he took him in as an adopted son.
It dates back to when Jiang Yan had first enlisted and been assigned to learn from Jiang Zhonghai. Once, during a flood prevention and disaster relief mission, Jiang Zhonghai nearly got swept away by floodwaters while inspecting the site. It was Jiang Yan who risked his life to save him.
