Not that those using it in the film escape censure (or worse). In Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games novels as well as Lionsgate’s four-movie franchise, the three-finger salute begins as a sign of respect, admiration and saying goodbye, a gesture unique to lead character Katniss Everdeen’s home of District 12. The salute in The Hunger Games represents a way for the downtrodden people of Panem to mutely register their defiance of the government. Youth protest groups from Thailand, Hong Kong and Taiwan are part of an online movement dubbed the Milk Tea Alliance, named after the drink and its relative popularity in each country. At first one, then another, then almost every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and holds it out to me, author Suzanne Collins writes. The salute has been used by student protestors in Hong Kong during last year’s pro-democracy protests that paralyzed the city as well as by anti-China activists in Taiwan. The three-finger salute first appears at The Hunger Games book when Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist, volunteers for her sister Primrose at the 74 th Hunger Games.
Much like the Guy Fawkes mask from 2005’s V for Vendetta became a symbol of Occupy Wall Street and Arab Spring protests in the early 2010s, the Hunger Games’ salute has become something of a go-to symbol for youth-led protests in some Asian countries.
