#40 Ula Tang-Plowman (不入虎穴，焉得虎子)

Send us a text

Nothing ventured, nothing gained for our tiger queen, Ula Tang-Plowman (University of Central Lancashire). Forged in the steel city of Wuhan, she came to the UK as a student with a pocket full of cash and a taste for the hottest chillies on earth. Little did she know how much her inner strength would be tested in life and how she would need her global network of friends and colleagues in the saddest of circumstances. Vulnerable, honest and inspiring - prepare to be amazed and moved in equal measure.

不入虎穴，焉得虎子 Chinese proverb:  If you don't enter the tiger's den, how will you catch the tiger's cubs?  aka it is impossible to achieve success without experiencing danger.

Final boarding call: Wuhan, China
