Daimashin Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 虎口餘生 (Hǔkǒu yúshēng) - Escape from death.Literal meaning - Survived from the tiger's mouth.Once upon a time, there was a man who chopped woods for a living. Everyday he has to go throug the forest in order to do business. One day while he was passing through a tiger jumped on him. He ran and the tiger gave chase. He then reached a temple and tiger caught him. The deity inside saw what was happening and knew that the man was a filial son. He intervened and pulled the man out of the tiger's mouth and chased the tiger away. The man was saved.虎口餘生 (Hǔkǒu yúshēng) means to escape from certain death.Example:"你遇到悍匪竟然沒有死,你真的「虎口餘生」險過剃頭."
