Dear yicaoting!

❝ In Chinese, we have a Proverb “Why use an ox cleaver to kill a chicken?”.

❝ I believe that there is a counterpart in English.

In German it’s “Mit Kanonen auf Spatzen schießen” (my private translation: to shoot sparrows with canons). Some English versions: “To take a sledgehammer to crack a nut”, “To break a butterfly on a wheel”.

Sparrows… Mah Jongg (Mandarin 麻將) is my favorite game. Wasn’t it named after sparrow (in Cantonese 麻雀)?
