Help, please. The symbol on the right is "father." I thought the one on the left might be "who," but no. It might, if it's read right►left, be Christina's Chinese name. I'm going blind searching character charts (http://www.zhongwen.com/). Any ideas?
What you'd expect: "Tiger daughter." Maybe Tiger is pronounced "Hsu," or maybe Tiger just means...Tiger. :cmas22
Rebecca maybe?
As far as Christina's concerned, I empathize what she's going through, but she's a bit cutthroat too.Yes, you may be on to something; while researching another project, I've come across some quotes about Christina (from other racers) that suggest she might be getting a very positive edit.

I saw some of those too--but you know what?
Greetings. Just read the entire thread and registered to attempt to clear the Chinese characters' meaning.Help, please. The symbol on the right is "father."

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....

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.I recall something but its been so long, really I wouldn't know where it was mentioned.
From the videos at CBS.com, Ronald mentioned that his parents fled China when the Communists took over and came to the US.
Christina: Have we told you about our t-shirt auctions yet?
IGN: No, you haven't.
Christina: So basically we raced two legs in Burkina Faso and my dad and I made some really good friends there. We were sitting in the airport in Ouagadougou and we had some down time and my dad turned to me and said, "You know we should really do something -- we should auction off our "Who's Your Daddy?" and "Tiger Father, Tiger Daughter" t-shirts and donate the earnings to a charity. When we got back from the race, we did some research, and we decided upon this one orphanage in Burkina Faso. So if you go to the homepage of The Amazing Race and also the CBS.com homepage, they have a link to our eBay auction. All auctions start Wednesday [Jan. 23] and end on February 2. They're for my dad's "Who's Your Daddy?" shirt and both my "Tiger Father, Tiger Daughter" Chinese character shirts will be auctioned off and all the earnings will go to an orphanage in Burkina Faso. We promise we've washed all the shirts (laughs) and just hope that a lot of people will participate.
Ron: They were specifically bought for the race and worn only on the race. It's one that has special meaning for those who have watched Season 12 and also for the characters on the back of our shirts -- it says "Tiger Father" on the back of mine, and "Tiger Daughter" on the back of Christina's. We're just dispelling this notion that you have to have a son to basically make your house complete. I have two wonderful daughters, so I'm changing the Chinese idiom from "Tiger Father, Tiger Son" to "Tiger Father, Tiger Daughter." At least in my small way of saying that you don't need a son to complete your family, that daughters are just as equal and better I think, than sons. (laughs)
