Of all the creatures in the animal kingdom, the tigeris arguably the most widely depicted in the Chineseculture. It is seen as a symbol of power and strengthand a subject of awe and fear. Of the dozens ofidioms originating from ancient fables on tigers,one says, "Once on the back of a tiger, it is impossible todismount." This accurately describes Quan Li, founder ofthe multi-national charitable foundation Save China's Tigers(SCT). Only in the case of Quan, she is having the ride of herlife and has no intention of dismounting.
