China is home to both the Siberian and the South China tigers. While both are on the verge of extinction, the small South China tiger still appears as far north as the Chungnan Mountains, where hermits have shown me their tracks."Sung Pojen was a Chinese poet of the thirteenth century.Red Pine (a.k.a.
