:-) Dui dui dui! Ok...So the first question:

**Actually, I still haven't seen that movie. But as with all my blogs, I use the term "hunger game" to tell a story or paint a picture of REAL LIFE challenges as I live it everyday or inspirational events in other people's lives, etc.. If you think of your life as a "game", then the question: is how determined are you to succeed or beat the odds? That's where the words "Creative Persistence" in the title come in.

People who are often involved with difficult things (others would rather not do) like...for Chinese say, (刘翔) Liu Xiang's profession and health problems, etc. Such people are described as being in the "Hunger Game". You stay in the game and keep winning or survive because you're MORE HUNGRY  ... MORE DETERMINED than the others. And the more hungry you are, you find the more opportunities (i.e. DOORS) open or close. As a black man, my life and success story doing very difficult things is always like this: Doors are always being closed to me so I have to find creative ways to open opportunities, create opportunities, and survive.

It's very different from the movies and what you see in the movies. It's real. Very real. And often painful.

But as I mentioned in my last blog, the more doors you build and the more difficult challenges you embrace and overcome, the more naturally confident you are than the average person who can talk the talk but not survive walking the walk. Mingbai ma? -)

Second part of your question:

**It doesn't have to be a movie theatre though likely. Wherever people are gathered and they're looking at a big screen (this could include a stadium), and it's dark...you can have the same effect using the night vision goggles (夜视镜) dui ma? ;-)

Keep smiling & C-ya!

BTW: Is your title Hunger Game original from the film Hunger Game ? Is the pic with 夜视镜 taken in a theatre ?
