Note: This is tale #169 in Pu Songling's collection of Strange Tales from a Chatterbox's Studio (聊齋誌異, Liáozhāi zhìyì), usually known as Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio or Strange Tales from Liaozhai.
The original Chinese title of this story, 趙城虎, is transcribed as Zhàochéng hǔ in the pinyin notation, and means "the tiger of Zhàochén"; it appears as 赵城虎 in simplified Chinese characters. It is composed of 趙城, Zhàochéng, literally "Zhào City" and 虎, hǔ, "tiger".
Synopsis: At Zhàochéng, a tiger killed and ate an old woman's only son. The animal got "arrested", admitted his fault, and eventually took the place of the son. He provided for the woman so well that she became rich and had a spendid funeral. The tiger then disappeared, and a shrine was built in his memory.
