Farmer encounters tiger on mountain

A farmer in Huichun encountered a tiger while collecting wild vegetables from a mountain near his village. Cao Bingguang was climbing the mountain one morning early this month when he spotted the tiger standing about 20 meters away from him. Cao said later that he had never come across a living tiger and was unsure what to do at first, but then he remembered some advice he had once been given and shouted loudly instead of running away. The tiger retreated.
