Story

The film is believed to be more of a documentary view of 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.
