Go After an Easy Prey (Chinese: ç"®ä¸­æ‰é³–) is a Chinese animated film in black and white from 1948. It is also referred to as "Turtle Caught in a Jar".

Translation




Fat Birds Are Easy Prey: Fulmar Hunting in the Faroe Islands - In the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic, baby fulmar hunting is an annual August activity. The Faroese depend on seasonal hunting and fishing as a major part of their diet and lifestyle....

The title of the film is a phrase describing something as easy to catch as a turtle. The off English translation may be "shooting fish in a barrel".

The film is believed to be more of a documentary view of China's civil war in the 1940s when Chiang Kai-shek was considered to be favored and aided by U.S imperialism. He was metaphorically described as trapped like a turtle by the People's Liberation Army. This is possibly China's first use of animation directly as a propaganda tool.
