路透社报道，中国出了一桩奇事。一个农民拍摄了一些濒危老虎的照片，最近因照片被判定为伪造而入狱。但现在事情又出现了转折——现在拍照者称这些照片都是真的。
A saga in China about a farmer nearly jailed over photos he took of a critically endangered tiger that were later judged to be fake has taken a new twist -- the photographer now claims the pictures were real, Reuters reported.
周正龙是北部省份陕西省人，54岁。去年，他拍摄了这些照片，当地政府声称这就是华南虎存在的证据。
Zhou Zhenglong, a 54-year-old farmer from northern Shaanxi province, was awarded a 20,000 yuan bonus last year, after he produced pictures which authorities said were evidence of a South China tiger.
在照片中，可以看到一只老虎蹲坐在树林中。这些照片在互联网上引发了轩然大波。专家认定这些照片都是假的。
The pictures, which showed a tiger crouching in a forest setting, sparked an Internet furore led by experts who identified the photos as faked.
当地媒体指责相关官员故意将照片鉴定为真的，以便促进该贫困地区的旅游业。
Local media accused officials of endorsing them as a means of promoting tourism in a poor region.
新华社在其网站上的一篇报道中称，今年，周正龙因诈骗罪被判缓刑。但现在，他又翻供，称虎照的确是他拍的。
But Zhou, who was given a suspended jail sentence this year for the fraud, has returned to his original claim that he really did photograph a tiger, the Xinhua news agency said in a report on its website.
该报道提到了周手写的一封简短的信，信中描述了2007年夏天他与老虎的一次相遇。周表示，当时由于相机有问题，他没有能够给老虎拍照。
It published a brief handwritten letter by Zhou describing his first encounter with a tiger in the summer of 2007, which he said he was unable to photograph due to a problem with his camera.
他说，直到那年10月份，他才给老虎拍了照。
He said he was only able to take pictures in October of that year.
周写道：“我郑重宣布虎照是真的，不是伪造的。”
"I solemnly declare that the tiger picture was real, and was not faked," Zhou wrote.
中国媒体之前报道称，周在之前的诈骗案听证中已经认罪。
Zhou had admitted his guilt during the fraud hearing, Chinese media had previously said.
