Chapter 11

  The story about Jane Sue

  “Who else know about my next day schedule?”

  “Nobody.”

  Charlie Tai looked at the steward Ken and said with a smile, “since it’s so, then where the danger comes from?”

  “According to the internal analysis of the FBI, in the current situation, the families supporting the other Presidential candidates, should have the enough anger to master you.”

  “All these are just the speculation.” Charlie Tai said, “in a few more months, I am going to leave the Pear Garden university, go to the West Forest to serve in the army, don’t you expect that in the barracks, there are still full of the family bodyguards around me?”

  ……

  The Coastal university town, the blizzard is still raged down same as the former years, put the entire great area urban agglomeration, all covered in the snow and ice.

  Those celebrating the New Yea families strolled on the street happily, and those students who are alone in other locality, more used to hide in the warm quilt in the apartment to play the games.

  But this habit was broken by a concert this year, every campus seemed very quiet. But the comprehensive gymnasium which is located on the northwest corner of the university town by the Rose river, is very lively.

  Sheilor flipped off the snow crumbs on the body, took a deep breath, looked up that incomparably huge light screen on the stadium, looked at that very familiar beautiful face of the purple hair girl on the light screen, he couldn’t help shaking his head.

  When he was in the East Forest Region in those years, they these orphans only could be attracted by Jane Sue on the TV screen, shouted some unrealistic slogans. Never thought of in this lifetime, he would also have this day to see Jane Sue with his own eyes in the Capital Planet Circle.

  Jane Sue is the super star of the Federation, using super star these two words perhaps is not that appropriate, because the stars on the TV and movie aspects are so many like the stars in the Federation, but it’s extremely rare like Jane Sue this kind of star. It should be said, this under eighteen years old purple hair girl, since that day when she appeared on the federal TV channel, she had already occupied the hearts of all the federal citizens quickly.

  No matter her that sometimes nifty and sometimes supple purple hair, or her that pair of big, as if can speak eyes, or the warship commander uniforms of every historical periods she wore in the TV series, are all the most like to talk about topics in the leisure time of the federal citizens.

  Even Sheilor this kind of having extraordinary encounters people, every time when he thought of Jane Sue, he still thought that this girl was the real legend.

  It’s said that Jane Sue lost her parents when she was very little, because a very coincident opportunity, she got on the screen of the Federal TV Station. At that time, she was just playing an adopted orphan in a long life home comedy… at that time, Jane Sue was not up to twelve years old yet, that pair of watery eyes revealed the expression like a poor little rabbit, the optimistic and cheerful smile time to time flashed on her that immature and lovely face, just in one evening, she won the hearts of all the federal citizens who have the born pity sense to the weak.

  This longevity home comedy ended in a satisfactory way after it was broadcasted for six years, although Jane Sue only took part in the final one and half years of the most final, but that sometimes weak and sometimes strong like a grown man little girl which she played, became the most popular role of this comedy.

  The channel 23 of the federal TV station very wisely caught the favor of the public, in one and a half months later, brought out that series which has been played until today, the interstellar TV drama . This TV drama describes the whole progress of a federal warship female commander, from the day she entered the military school, then to practice, and then joined the war with the Empire in the end. The skill of the screenwriter is extraordinarily great, he depicts successfully a leading lady, who has the wisdom and calm of an adult, but has the girl charming at the same time. Of course, this heroine is played by Jane Sue.

  Once this TV drama was brought out, it immediately won the unprecedented reverberation, successfully broke all the rating records of the federal TV station besides the News channel. And that dyed the hair purple little girl, even becomes the second to none idol figure of the Federation.

  Now the story of this TV series, just played to the Enterprise which the colonel Jane Sue led, broke through the stone rip rap stream, and was going to arrive the West Forest Region.

  According to the development of this trend, perhaps it will be according to the age of Jane Sue, films the drama until she spends her whole adolescence, until she enters the real adult.

  The senior officials of the TV station are in no hurry, the audiences of the Federation are in no hurry, they are watching a myth born in the TV history, they only have the happiness in their hearts. An eleven and a half years old little girl starred in the TV series, fourteen years old had already been known in the entire starry sky, began to assume the advertisement pressure of the federal TV station, it is absolutely deserved to be called the legend.

  The more legendary thing was that thing happened in the Constitution Calendar year sixty-four.

  The angry Children Rights Conservation Foundation, after they negotiated inconclusively with the TV station, filed the complaint to the court about the Federal TV station, the competent department of the TV station, and the Radio Management Committee of the President Office.

  The Foundation thinks, the Federal TV station as the public property, ignored the children rights unexpectedly, kept squeezing the rest and study time of Jane Sue, it’s an insufferable thing. And the popularity of Jane Sue in the Federation, even would bring about a very bad agitation, would let the federal government ignore the protection to the children rights.

  This case caused a sensation for a short while in the Federation, the thing made the noise bigger and bigger, from the first trial court to the local circuit court, then finally got to the Supreme Court, both parties of the lawsuit still kept quarreling without stop.

  The public opinion kept silence for this thing, because the federal public also couldn’t stand firmly the position in this matter. Those busy working at the daytime people, after they went back to home, the thing they most used to do, was to watch that incomparably lovely little girl on the TV screen, and the sympathy they have to Jane Sue is from their hearts, they are not willing to see that this little is just busy shooting the films every day, and doesn’t have her own life.

  The lawsuit was getting greater and greater, the quite having the background Children Rights Conservation Foundation, constantly expanded the list of the defendants, the Federal TV station, the satellite service providers, and even the Johnson Viewing Research Agency, all became the defendants of this lawsuit. Finally, the Foundation even accused two responsible for checking the TV contents federal senators to the court!

  In the President Office that director, who declared publicly that should allow Jane Sue to have her right of independent choice, of course also couldn’t escape by sheer luck.

  This storm in the Supreme Court, finally was debated in person by Jane Sue in the autumn of the Constitution Calendar year sixty-four.

  In the solemn court, the dressed in the plain clothes Jane Sue, lovely rubbed on her that head of fluffy purple hair, said to the live broadcast camera, “I am very grateful to the Foundation for what they strive for me, I also understand that the Foundation is worrying the rights of the under age people, worrying that they couldn’t have the most fully, or even no any mentioned in advance protection… but I just want to say, all the decisions were made by myself, I like it.”

  I like it these three words seem to be very simple, but they expressed the attitude of this federal top star. The Children Rights Conservation Foundation still didn’t give up, they claimed that when Jane Sue signed the contract with the Federal TV station, she was not up to fourteen years old yet, with th
e excuse that there is not the signature of the legal guardian on that agreement, requested the court to judge that this agreement is invalid.

  Just right at this time, the already couldn’t stand the trouble federal judge, that already was seventy-nine years old, all gray-haired judge Honda, gave a ruthless stare at the agent lawyer for the Foundation, shook those several thin papers in his hand, “I have Jane Sue this year’s report card in my hand, all of them,” he said, “I also have countless materials in my here, can prove, playing in the TV series, have no effect on her studies.”

  “The IQ test result of Jane Sue, I know, but I won’t tell you.” the chief justice of the Federation, like an old child, looked at the cameras in the court and those stupefied lawyers with a smile, “I just want to say, the child such like her, no matter what occupation she will have in the future, she still would make the great contribution for the Federation. But since she chose to fill the spiritual life of the federal people… I this old man will only show her my respect.”

  The lawyer of the Foundation raised his hand and wanted to speak, the chief justice Honda waved his hand disgustedly, “not up to fourteen years old, the legal documents she signed really don’t have the effectiveness. But this legal document, I recognize its effectiveness… because she is Jane Sue.”

  The prolonged and affected hugely lawsuit, became the news channel of the Federal TV station, besides the civil war, the best news material. And the final result of this lawsuit, especially the last sentence of the chief justice of the Federation, let Jane Sue have a higher position in the hearts of the federal citizens.

  It had a very interesting phenomenon at that time, the highest rating two channels of the whole Federation, were all broadcasting Jane Sue. Only the channel 23 was broadcasting the series she played in. and what the news channel broadcasted, was that peculiar lawsuit about her. Two channels relied on Jane Sue, kept challenging each other, it was the farce at that time.

  But who could define, that lawsuit is not more wonderful than the TV drama?

  Today is the announcement campaign for Jane Sue’s new song and her first personal concert, besides the ending soundtrack of that TV drama, Jane Sue never sang any song before.

  Today this new song announcement campaign is not in the Capital District, also not in that biggest city, but is in the Coastal university town, this let the officials and the populace of the Coastal state, all feel the incomparably proud. Just take a look at those rare vehicles outside of the gymnasium, they know that today, don’t know how many state senators bring their families to come to watch the show.

  Sheilor took out his that ticket from his arms, walked toward the inside of the gymnasium, his facial expression is very calm, but actually he has some strange feeling in his heart.

  For the people of the East Forest Region, this federal super star Jane Sue, absolutely is not only the idol that simple.

  After the industry decline, rely on the federal welfare to live from hand to mouth East Forest citizens, are used to the listless life, every day they all can see the appearance of Jane Sue. The long time of company, let the people of the East Forest feel that Jane Sue is not the remote and untouchable super star, she is more like their neighbor little sister, accompanies with their dinner time, their coffee time, and their drunk time day after day… the habit is a very powerful force, it conquered the life of the East Forest people by the subtle effect. The habit is a kind of love, perhaps it’s not that sort of man and woman love, but it also is love.

  Sheilor loves Jane Sue very much, he once said in the night that he was going to marry her as wife. However, when he is going to see her today, then he just knows, after all, just could see that remote and untouchable figure, he would be so happy.
