You’re Never Too Old to Go for the Gold

I just got the following email and would like to share with all you guys.  Enjoy and have fun!

You’re Never Too Old to Go for the Gold, as Revealed in POV’s ‘Ping Pong,’ Monday, Sept. 9, 2013 on PBS

Competitors in the Over-80 World Table Tennis Championship Show an Uncommon Drive to Win in the Face of Old Age

Call this old age, extreme edition: Seven players with 620 years between them compete in the Over 80 World Table Tennis Championships in China’s Inner Mongolia. British players Terry, 81, who has been given a week to live, and Les, 91, a weightlifter and poet, are going for the gold. Inge, 89, from Germany, has used table tennis to paddle her way out of dementia. And Texan Lisa, 85, is playing for the first time. Ping Pong is a wonderfully unusual story of hope, regret, friendship, ambition, love—and sheer human tenacity in the face of aging and mortality.

Anson Hartford and Hugh Hartford’s Ping Pong has its national broadcast premiere on Monday, Sept. 9, 2013 at 10 p.m. (check local listings), on the award-winning PBS series POV (Point of View), American television’s longest-running independent documentary series. The film will stream on POV’s website, www.pbs.org/pov/pingpong, from Sept. 10-Sept. 14, 2013. Visit the website for embeddable video, art, press releases and educational guides and to find out what's happened in the players’ lives since the cameras stopped rolling.

About the competitors:

• Lisa Modlich of Houston, a relative newcomer at 85, has led an exciting life. She was raised in an aristocratic Viennese family and fought in the French Resistance before emigrating to the U.S. She is now married to Joachim, 25 years her junior, and is one of the game’s fiercest competitors.
• British player Terry Donlon is 81 and has cancer. He plays wearing a nebulizer for shortness of breath, earning him a reputation as a “walking miracle.” Now, he’s been given one week to live.
• Fellow Brit Les D’Arcy, 89, is Terry’s doubles partner. Les is a renowned advocate for the elderly, known for his determined—some would say fanatical—pursuit of activities such as weightlifting, triathlon and shot-put.
• Swede Rune Forsberg, 85, an archrival of Les, sees the 2010 competition as his last chance for gold.
• Dorothy DeLow of Australia may not be the best player, but she’s a legend in her own right. At 100, she is the game’s oldest competitive player.
• Ursula Bihl, 89, of Germany, won the world championship three years earlier and almost gave up on going to the 2010 championship.
• German Inge Hermann, 89, ended up in the dementia ward of a nursing home after her husband’s death 15 years earlier. Introduced to table tennis as therapy, she literally paddled her way back to physical and mental wellbeing, and today she manages the nursing home and teaches computer science classes. In Ping Pong, she’s going to her first international competition.

Will the Terry survive his singles matches and play to win the doubles gold? Will Les live up to his extravagant reputation? Will Rune get his gold medal—and vindication? Will Dorothy continue to prove you’re never too old? Will Lisa sweep all before her with her youthful attitude? Will Ursula retain her championship? Will Inge win her first medal and make her nursing home proud? Ping Pong discovers uncommon stories of people playing for something far greater than gold medals. They are playing for their lives.

“We wanted to make a film about the tenacity of the human spirit more than about any sports title,” says director Hugh Hartford. “There’s a message for all of us in this.” Adds producer Anson Hartford, Hugh’s brother, “At the beginning we thought we were making a film about what life is like toward the end of our lives, but Ping Pong is much more about living than about dying. It is more about love and friendship than loss and death.”

The Orchestrated Heist (Comedy)

The Orchestrated Heist  (Comedy)

人的故事

有一天，神創造了一頭牛。
神對牛說：“你要整天在田裡替農夫耕田，供應牛奶給人類飲用。你要工作直至日落，而你只能吃草。我給你50年的壽命。” 牛抗議道：“我這麼辛苦，還只能吃草，我只要20年壽命，餘下的還給你。” 神答應了。

第二天，神創造了猴子。
神跟猴子說：“你要娛樂人類，令他們歡笑，你要表演翻斤斗，而你只能吃香蕉。我給你20年的壽命。” 猴子抗議：“要引人發笑，表演雜技，還要翻斤斗，這麼辛苦，我活10年好了。” 神答應了。 ...

第三天，神創造了狗。
神對狗說：“你要站在門口吠，吃主人吃剩的東西。我給你25年的壽命。” 狗抗議道：“整天坐在門口吠，我要15年好了，餘下的還給你。” 神答應了。

第四天，神創造了人。
神對人說：“你只需要睡覺、吃東西和玩耍，不用做任何事情，只需要盡情地享受生命，我給你20年的壽命。 人抗議道：“這麼好的生活只有20年，太短！” 神沒說話。
人對神說：“這樣吧。
牛還了30年給你，
猴子還了10年，
狗也還了10年，這些都給我好了，那我就能活到70歲。” 神答應了。

這就是為什麼我們的頭20 年只需吃飯、睡覺和玩耍；
之後的30年，我們像一頭牛整天工作養家；
接著的10年，我們退休了，不得不像只猴子表演雜耍來娛樂自己的孫兒；
最後的10年，整天留在家裡，像一條狗坐在門口看門… 太有寓意了，

人的苦難，都是人自己找的

Table Tennis with Heart

中國女球童"低調"撿球 震撼全場••這個太給力了

The Last 10 Years of Life

This mini-movie, shot by the Canadian public service ads, a launch will impress many netizens!

The last 10 years of life, how you want too?
Bicycle or wheelchair? With his foot, or rely on others to push you?
Is eat your favorite delicacies, or rely on a variety of drugs to survive?
Have young children and grandchildren is to accompany, or in nursing homes die alone?
Is dressed scenery ever, or all day with a bunch of medical equipment associating it?

Advertising using the current more popular Splitscreen (split-screen) by contrast, in a minute as we present two distinct joys and sorrows of the last decade.

Its purpose is to alert the public good people: no matter how young you are, when you do not want old age, live in the pain of struggling.
So from now on stay away from unhealthy routines, focusing on health, exercise, remember health is life's greatest capital!

There are maintenance, bike ride is; did not care, sitting wheelchair. There are maintenance, feed your family eat is sweet; did not care, feeding is helpless to you.

你的最後10年會是怎樣？ (Your last ten years ? )
影片只有1分鐘，憾動人… 
加拿大公益廣告：你的最後10年會是怎樣？
這部微型影片，是由加拿大拍攝的公益廣告，一經推出便打動無數網民！

人生的最後10年，你想怎麼過？
單車還是輪椅？用自己的腳踩，還是倚靠別人推你？
是吃遍天下山珍海味，還是靠各種藥物度日？
是膝下有兒孫陪伴，還是在養老院孤獨終老？
是衣冠楚楚風光不減當年，還是終日與一堆醫療器材為伍呢？

廣告採用了當下較流行的Splitscreen (分屏)，通過鮮明對比，在一分鐘之內為我們呈現了悲歡兩種截然不同的最後十年。

其公益的目的是在警醒人們：無論你現在多年輕，如果不想暮年時，苟且活在病痛中。 
那麼就從現在開始遠離不健康的作息，注重保健、加強鍛煉，記住健康才是人生的最大資本！


有保養，坐的是單車；沒保養，坐的是輪椅。有保養，親人餵你吃東西是甜蜜；沒保養，向你餵食是無奈
