Chinese General's ribbon bar?

[Ulsterman]

I found this picture on an obscure web site on inter-military cooperation. can anyone identify the ribbons on this chaps' bar?

I never understood how they arranged their ribbon bars or the medals that they represent. I think there is somewhat of a pattern, but not really? It seems that every one I see, it looks all the same medals being awarded (multiple times).

these are not medal-ribbon bar. infact chinese PLA no ribbon bar after 1955. 

chinese even no medal grade after 1955.

so chinese medal are very  un-interesting for collect after 1955.

these bar used for show officer 's rank and how long times for service at  PLA.

my english are poor, i used red pen write some on picture, i hope can help some.

i donot know how to translate about chinese rank, so i used with my understand to explain.

yellow + star = general; 

red+ star =  brigadier or colonel

purple + star =colonel or lieutenant colonel

blue + star = lieutenant colonel or major

little blue + star = captain or lieutenant captain

green + star = lieutenant captain or second lieutenant;
