Hi everyone.... yes Peaches I can read Chinese. Of course I can help.
Okay so the character on the left means 'Tiger' the one on the right is indeed 'Father'....
So when put together it means Tiger Father.... literally....

Greetings. Just read the entire thread and registered to attempt to clear the Chinese characters' meaning.
Yes, those two characters means Tiger Father and I think it also means Ron was born in the year of Chinese Zodiac Tiger. It's not the Christina's name. In Chinese, there is a proverb saying that 虎毒不食子. It literally means Tigers, no matter how fierce, never eat their own cubs. No matter how much craps Ron was throwing at Christina, I think deep down inside he still loves her very much. This is my interpretation so correct me if I am wrong.
Anyway, the introduction says Ron is a first-generation immigrant. Anyone knows where he is from? Based on his last name, his age and his Chinese speaking accent, my guess is that he might be from Taiwan.
Go Ron and Christina.
Edit: spelling and grammar

Tiger is pronounced as "hu."

From the videos at CBS.com, Ronald mentioned that his parents fled China when the Communists took over and came to the US.
OC Watcher:
Has anyone heard that Christina and Azaria are dating? That was the talk at the Nate & Jen party last night. Of course, neither was there and no one had first-hand knowledge. Hendekea was very coy about it.
