A schoolgirl nicknamed 'female tiger'Sourced
Punishments did not work on her.
Teachers called her a 'female tiger'.
Taiwan-born scholar Jing Tsu recalled being a difficult primary-school student. Her teachers nicknamed her 'female tiger' because punishment had little effect. She later moved to the US and became a Yale professor studying Chinese language and culture.
