The Year of the Tiger Says Tiger: A Confession of a Tiger

□ Jiang Wenlai (Doctoral Supervisor, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences)

No matter how cattle are, they will eventually lose their thrones and give me this year's zodiac position. To be honest, I am a little reluctant because the cattle handed me a mess, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has not subsided during his tenure, the world situation is also turbulent, although it is organic in danger, but it is really difficult to seize the opportunity in danger. Where the mission lies, incompetent and competent, it is my turn to queue up, and it is incumbent upon me.

I'm a celebrity, as can be seen in the idioms about me. Tiger head and snake tail, like a wolf like a tiger, tiger back bear waist, dragon fighting tiger fighting, tiger mouth pulling teeth, tiger looking at the eye, fox fake tiger will, wolf swallowing tiger swallowing, tiger head tiger brain, adjusting tiger away from the mountain, raising tigers to kill themselves, hungry tigers and sheep, releasing tigers back to the mountains, Crouching tigers and hidden dragons, talking about tiger discoloration, violent tiger Feng He, tiger mouth for the rest of life, fierce tiger out of the mountain, living dragons and living tigers, such as tiger wings, fox fake tiger wei, and so on, can no longer be listed, this will be jealous.

Please don't laugh at me, I don't know my family origin very well, even scientists have controversy about it, so I am even more confused. Fortunately, it is now more accepted that I originated in the South China Tiger distribution area of East Asia 2 million years ago, and in order to survive, my ancestors continued to migrate, and I have footprints in southwest Asia, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and even the Indonesian archipelago. The environment has created tigers, and I have changed with the environment, eventually evolving into nine families: South China Tiger, Siberian Tiger, Bengal Tiger, Indochinese Tiger, Malay Tiger, Sumatran Tiger, Balinese Tiger, Javan Tiger and Caspian Tiger (Xinjiang Tiger). In the west to Turkey, east to the coast of China and Russia, north from Siberia, south to the Indonesian archipelago of the vast land, is the stage of my life, at that time the ecological environment is good, my food is plentiful, the threat factors are fewer, I am carefree, living a life more than the gods, it is really a tiger's paradise. Unfortunately, the glory will not last forever, there will be a time to fade, look at today, the Caspian tiger, Javan tiger, Bali tiger family has completely disappeared, other ethnic territories are also in danger, many brothers and sisters are locked up in the zoo for people to enjoy, I have the appearance of a tiger, there is no freedom to ride nature, sad and lamentable. I only have a sigh, my family will not disappear on the earth as a whole, when you humans mention me, you can only rely on memory, can not see the real me, or go to the museum to see my fossils to masturbate, this does not depend on me, but depends on human beings, my fate is controlled by human beings. Sadly, thankfully, I couldn't speak.

Although my family's troubles have not been removed, I still have to maintain the image of bravery, this is my signboard, I can't fall at any time, I want to rely on this sign to fight the world. In the zodiac, although I rank third, for the first I disdain, he relied on deception and cunning to get the first chair, although ranked first, but timid such as rats, rats and other "laurels" he can never take off, the reputation is not good morality, he can never wash off, carrying baggage to live at night must not sleep well, so at night out to steal chickens and dogs, but also often have the danger of losing their lives, living a fearful life, uneasy where there is happiness to speak of. In second place is the cow, he is willing to work hard and good at dedication, I admire, but his newborn calf is not afraid of me, let me be very angry, I eat his meat and drink his blood, even the calf's father and mother I do not let go, not I am jealous that he ranks in front of me, this is nature's arrangement, the weak eat the law, when my plate of food he is not wronged, is the destiny. In nature, I am the king of the hundred beasts, my roar, the many beasts trembling, or far away from me, or hidden, in short, the beasts see me only fear, worry that they will become my meal, I enjoy the treatment of a king more than a king, supreme, brave. Human beings are very envious of my tiger power, use me to paint, the bravery and good fighting of soldiers must borrow my big name, tiger general, tiger minister, tiger soldier, etc., I never care, through them to promote their own name I have no loss, the ancient dispatch of troops tiger rune, but also show my bravery and integrity. I have gone beyond the beasts to become the object of human admiration, and I am content and fulfilled.

Don't look at me for being brave and fierce, but I'm gentle. Although the phrase "tiger poison does not eat children" sounds harsh, it also speaks to my gentleness, I love my children in every way, I love them, but I never spoil them. Under my education, my children have inherited our tough characteristics and are brave and fierce. They grew up with me to learn the skills to adapt to this world, running, jumping, roaring, diving in everything, quiet as a virgin, moving like a hurricane, galloping, obtaining survival capital, this is the real love. Look at your human doting, some children are not diligent and do not distinguish between the five bodies, only their own selfish ghosts in their hearts, nibbling so many old people, I am glad that my children are excellent while worrying about you humans, this is the dislocation of love, not modest to say that you human beings should learn to educate children like me. Actually my (tiger) culture is very long in human history. In the Oracle there is a statement about me:

This oracle shows my image completely, and from this I enter the human life. Wu Song is famous for killing me, and I use my life to help the hero to help perform, which is also a special dedication. In words, language, poetry, literature and many other aspects have my figure, my gentleness, cuteness, respectability into all parts of life, I have made my own contribution to human civilization, I am proud, I am a tiger, I am proud, I am a "tiger person", I am proud, I am subtly communicating with people.

My image is very good, so it is inevitable that someone will use my sign to do bad things outside, or directly use me to cheat, I am also deceived, let my prestige be hurt, nailed to the column of shame of history, can never be washed away, I am very angry and sad to say. If I had been deceived by the person who had forced me, I would have confessed, but it was the fox of the nameless generation who had deceived me, and now that I think of it, I am itching my teeth and eager to eat it to relieve the hatred in my heart. The way things happened, I was very hungry, so I went out to look for food, saw a fox just enough to make a tooth sacrifice, just about to eat, the fox was not afraid, but also said that you can not eat me, the Emperor of Heaven has ordered me to be the king of kings, whoever eats me, will be punished and punished very severely. I was very surprised, I was the king of the hundred beasts, when he became the king of kings, very confused, look at the fox is very calm and not like a fake, half-believed. The fox said again, if you don't believe me, you follow me and see how the animals behave. The fox walked on its toes in front, and I followed in the back, and many animals were frightened to fart and urinate, and the soul was not possessed, and the head was holding the rat. When we came to a place where many animals were scrambling to feed, they found us, and immediately they could not help but be shocked and scattered, and I believed the fox's words. Now I think of the foxes who used my tiger threat to scare away the animals, and they were not afraid of the foxes, but of me. The fox was really cunning, and I did lose to him in intelligence. In the world, fox fake tiger wei dog battle human power is not uncommon, various variants of the "fox fake tiger wei" scam is continuous, everyone should be vigilant, open their eyes to avoid deception.

I am here to make a solemn statement that I am not greedy, but human beings have labeled me greedy, and I have been wronged. We do have our own territory, but that acre and three points of land is my need for survival, I don't have a mansion, you see my home is very simple, not even a decent mattress, no luxurious decorations, I don't have many beautiful tigers to accompany, I am usually single, only when I can't help but spend my honeymoon with the tigress, in pairs, this is also for the needs of reproduction, I just want to eat a full stomach, when there is no food, I can't even eat a full meal for a few days, although I am the king of the beasts, However, I have never sought selfish interests for myself, but now it has become synonymous with "corruption, bribery, and abuse of power", which is really the shame of my tiger generation. Since society has accepted this term, it is useless for me to oppose it, not to mention that you humans cannot understand my beast language. I know that this is the curse of my tiger power, and human beings are just borrowing my name to describe a corrupt official with high power. But I hope that these tigers will disappear as soon as possible, and that the society will be clean, and that I will also be innocent; there is no "tiger" to fight in the world, and the names of corrupt officials are too heavy, and my tiger generation cannot afford it.

This year, when I am a zodiac sign, please forgive me for pretending to be public and private, protect and build the tiger survival base, and let my children and grandchildren have a natural and happy home, because my living state represents the level of ecological civilization construction to a certain extent, and I want to try to do this well. I look forward to a better Beijing Winter Olympics, so that the world can enjoy the joy of the first world event in the Year of the Tiger and spread the spirit of sportsmanship. I also hope that the world's new crown pneumonia epidemic will be well controlled, and if it can be eliminated within my term of office, it will be a great blessing for me. I also hope that the world will be safer and happier, the world will be full of tigers and tigers, and the earth's homeland will be better!
