Moon Prison
Chapter 1
Looking at the earth from the appearance, there are many lives.
Looking at the earth from the ribs, there is only one word: quality.
Quality of people, quality of river, quality of life, quality of family, quality of product, quality of friendship, quality of climate, quality of knowledge, quality of health, quality of work...
People who take quality seriously will live, or they may die.
These are a group of people who are considered to be with poor quality. Human beings rack their brains for the way of arranging them. In the dictionary they are called "prisoners".
With the steady increase of the number of the prisoners, people with high quality became more and more anxious. The prisons on the earth were already full, and the number of prison guards had exceeded the number of workers for car manufacturers.
Some experts warned that if the number increased at this speed, the quantity of prisoners would exceed that of non-prisoners within 35 years. It would be hard to say who close who then.
Prisoners that were freed often recommitted crimes that more and more people reentered prisons.
Human beings are wise animals; they extremely use this wisdom to take on their congeners. They could never hold loose to the number of prisoners catching up with the non-prisoners.
After a proposal was put forward by a criminologist called Bruce, the UN entitled this year "The Prisoner Year", so as to solve the problem caused by the increase of prisoners and the disordered management of prisons.
The first activity of the Prisoner Year was to hold a conference at a prison of the city where the UN headquarters settled. The reason of choosing a prison was to give a feeling of eagerness and crisis to the participants.
The participants from various countries brought the exact number of prisoners. According to the computer's calculation, there were altogether 53,432,786 imprisoned prisoners on the earth. The participants thought a lot when they saw the astronomical number, for it had already exceeded the cordon of safety.
Bruce broke the silence first: "I think it is no way out to solve the inflating prisoners only on the earth. I have a suggestion: migration."
"Where to move?" a delegate from a 3rd country asked. They feared that if the developed countries would export prisoners to the 3rd countries just like exporting litter.
"Move all prisoners on the earth to the moon!" Bruce uttered a surprising sentence.
Everyone was silent.
"My idea is, the moon is the neighbor of the earth and it is all the time deserted. Now we can easily go to the moon and depending on our technology, it was no problem to settle the prisoners on the moon. I think the moon is a natural prison given by the god." Bruce expressed his idea.
"Shall we send guards there?" a man asked.
"No." Bruce said.
"What a mess if so!" someone worried.
"It is none of our business! They cannot disturb the normal life on the earth." Bruce seemed obviously deliberate.
"How do they live on the moon?" the delegate of the International Humanism Organization asked.
"We'll give them a month's food and water before moving them." Bruce said.
"What about after a month?" the delegate asked.
"I think they will have a way to live. No one is willing to wait for death."
"We should give them two months' food." The delegate took pity on them.
After a ballot, all participants agreed to move the prisoners to the moon. They applied this proposal to the UNSC for permission.
The UNSC certainly approved the proposal with full vote. Swedish Royal Academy even nominated Bruce as the candidate of the Nobel Prize for peace. However, Bruce understood that one could not be too popular, thus he firmly refused.
Sending 50 million prisoners to the moon was a colossal project needing cooperating of the human beings. 10 aviation bases scattered all over the world took the mission and the armies of every country were sending its civil prisoners to the nearest aviation base under escort.
The prisoners acted differently when they got to know their destiny. Some were pessimistic and some were optimistic, while some were even indifferent to it. The pessimistic ones felt it ominous to live on the moon; the optimistic ones cheered for a chance of taking spacecraft; the indifferent ones had already lost their hopes of life.
The human beings, before sending the prisoners, took great pity on them, for they prepared a sumptuous meal to treat them as if treating prisoners to be executed.
Some of the prisoners were unwilling to go to the moon that they rebelled. The guards and the army suppressed them.
Prisoners from all over the world were sent to aviation bases under escort in trucks, trains or ships. Everyone was armed with 2 months' food.
They disobeyed humanity so that they were eliminated out of homestead by their congeners.
Spaceships in different bases launched one after one. Going through between the earth and the moon, they took the responsibility of purifying the earth.
Chapter 2
Hoffman was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for committing crimes with computer. He was 45 years old, strong and intelligent, and he was from the USA.
This afternoon, Hoffman felt something anomalous in the prison. He found some armies joined the guards and the policemen were smiling.
"Something would happen." Hoffman said to his companion.
"What would happen?" the companion lived together with Hoffman for a total of 3 years that he adore Hoffman's intelligence a lot. He often said that if Hoffman had been born 100 years earlier, Einstein would have no chance.
"Judging from the policemen's expressions, it seems that they will kill all of us." Hoffman said.
"Dare they?" the companion cried.
"Of course not. However, it's really strange that even armies have arrived." Hoffman frowned.
"Whatever would take place?" the companion felt a bit worried.
Hoffman shook his head gently.
"Chirp..." a screaming sound from whistle vociferated horribly.
"Assemble! Come to the courtyard to assemble! Quick!" a policeman shouted while blowing the whistle.
The guard opened the doors of the prison cells.
The prisoners walked lamely out of the prison cells, speaking rude remarks.
The courtyard was a place for gathering of prisoners. They stood in lines.
Hoffman noticed that the defence towers were occupied by soldiers armed with automatic weapons.
"Now the gaoler speak." The vice-gaoler said.
The gaoler walked up to a concrete platform in the front of the courtyard, which is decorated with aflutter star-stripe flag.
"I announce a decision made by the human beings." The gaoler said.
A decision made by the human beings? The prisoners murmured.
"Silent!" the vice-gaoler cried.
The gaoler looked through all the prisoners with a strict eye, and said: "The human beings decided, as you are unqualified to live on the earth, to move you to the moon. The migration will start tomorrow."
The prisoners broke into turmoil.
"What? Go to the moon? How do we live?"
"It is inferior to killing us directly!"
"Who suggested it? Fuck him!"
"We won't go!"
"..."
"..."
The gaoler took out his pistol and shot at the sky.
"You must obey this decision, for you have no authority to choose! The International Humanism Organization supported this decision! I tell you, all the armies in the world are now serving for you. If anyone acts frivolously, he would be treated by armies, not police!"
The prisoners calmed down.
"Before leaving the earth, we give every of you 2 months' of food." The gaoler said.
"What about after 2 months?" Hoffman asked.
"God bless you." The gaoler said, "Tonight we will hold a banquet for your leave. You can order anything you like."
The queue of prisoners was horribly silent.
After returning to the prison cells, the policemen registered the prisoners' supper with a clipboard, one room after another.
Hoffman's companion had no appetite.
Hoffman frankly reported what he liked to eat: "A roast lobster, a snail cookie, a steak 30% ripe, half a Chinese barbecue duck, a ham salad, lettuce soup, Italian pie, a Scottish whisky, a box of ice, a bowl of Belgian beef noodles with fin."
The policeman wrote those down while swallowing saliva.
"You should eat, otherwise you will regret after arriving at the moon." Hoffman urged his companion.
The companion got to be in great panic after knowing of the migration, disturbed by a feeling of execution.
"I order for you." Hoffman ordered some courses for his companion, "Chinese fish soup, German beer, Denish roast pork, Japanese sushi.
In the evening, the prisoners gulped in the restaurant of the prison. While eating, some were laughing but some were crying.
The next day, they would be moved to the moon from Kennedy Aviation Base.
Right the night, 7 prisoners committed suicide in the prison and 9 prisoners attempted to escape, killed by armies.
Hoffman slept soundly, undisturbed by the sound of firing.
Chapter 3
Spaceships ran back and forth between the earth and the moon, sending the prisoners from the earth to the moon.
The prisoners first felt bewildered facing desolate moon. However, they became brave with the daily increase of population.
When the last spaceship left, the moon was occupied by 50 million prisoners.
Having 2 months' food, everyone had the same opportunity to live.
Strong prisoners began to rob weak ones, even killed them at some places.
Law of the jungle redisplayed on the moon.
Hoffman, Cai and Karen stopped the replays of the law. The moon prison offered them a chance of writing a whole new history.
Cai was a Chinese prisoner, sentenced to 6 years' imprisonment for his piracy of copyright. He had instinctive organizing ability, not depending on his power but his smile, for his smile was extremely appealing.
Karen was a New Zealand prisoner, female, black, beautiful and 32 years old. 3 years ago, Karen killed her husband at a moonless night, not withstanding her husband's ill treatment. She was sentenced to 13 years' imprisonment when she pleaded guilty at court. Karen liked reading. She preferred philosophy especially "Birth of Tragedy" written by Niche, for the book was the only thing with her in prison. She always read with sigh when reading it.
When the prisoners began to kill each other on the moon, Hoffman, Cai and Karen met miraculously.
"Come to my tent." Karen invited Hoffman and Cai.
Karen's tent was methodical that Hoffman and Cai found her an orderly person.
"I thought we can live for 2 months, but as what is happening, we may live for at most 2 weeks." Karen said to Hoffman and Cai.
The tent was surrounded by screaming sounds and cursing voices.
"We can manage to stop the slaughter. But we cannot give any idea when food is running out. The fellow who put forward the suggestion of migration should be prosecuted." Hoffman complained.
"I suppose he should be awarded." Cai said.
Hoffman and Karen were surprised.
"For our prisoners, lost freedom, this is an excellent and the unique chance to develop our skills. We can rewrite the whole progress of civilization on the moon." Cai said.
Hoffman and Karen understood.
"We are not silly at all." Karen said delightedly.
"We even have the same intelligence as those scientists and entrepreneurs, we did only ran to an wrong way." Hoffman said.
"In China there is an idiom: A train ran fast for the lead of the loco. We three lead them to create a civilization!" Cai said.
"First we must persuade them. We work separately: I'll be in charge of white prisoners and those from developed countries; Cai will be in charge of xanthous ones and those from developing countries; Karen will be in charge of Negroes and female ones." Hoffman said.
Karen and Cai agreed.
"This is an unprecedented chance that the name of our three will be recorded in the history of the moon." Cai reminded his colleagues to pay full concentration.
"I know." Karen nodded.
On the moon without any medium or loudspeaker, was it easy that 3 people persuade 50 million?
Chapter 4
Hoffman, Cai and Karen knew clearly about their disadvantage, but they knew more clearly about their advantage, which was, no one was willing to die.
Hoffman, Cai and Karen told all the prisoners by telling one to another that they had something to say.
Uneasy prisoners paid no attention to these three companions, for they used dirty words to laugh at them.
Someone suggested that every of them say one sentence. Others agreed.
The most peculiar conference in the history began. Hoffman, Karen and Cai stood in the center, surrounded by 50 million participants. One out of every 20 was to spread statements around, like the spreading waves.
Hoffman said first: "All bad, no bad! In fact, everyone has a good face and a bad one. We showed our bad faces on the earth, and, shall we now show our good faces in order to live on?"
Lumpy applause.
Cai said: "Use our bare hand to build the moon another earth! It is equal to the ape recreating another history! Our advantage is experience, and we are all wise!"
Mightier applause.
Karen said: "Sisters, don't miss the chance! Girls would never be bullied by boys with money!"
Even male prisoners applauded.
They finished saying and waited for the public adjudication.
"Speak on!" 50 million prisoners shouted with one voice.
Strong symphony resonance had nearly driven the moon off its orbit.
Cai said: "We'll build up the achievement which the human beings have taken 5,000 years to build up in 5 years. Are you confident about that?"
The crowd replied yes.
Karen said: "If you trust us, please follow to our instructions from now on."
The crowd replied yes too.
Hoffman began to command: "First we make a law. Everyone must obey it. Then we create the police to defend the law. Those who used to be policemen, stand out."
There were quite a few policemen among the prisoners.
Hoffman said to the first group of moon: "Never to disobey the law again. You are in charge of our development of career on the moon!"
The policemen swore firmly.
Cai said: "We must solve the food problem first of all. Those who know about agriculture, stand out."
There were even more peasants among the prisoners.
Karen said: "Our compatriots gave each of us 20 seeds when throwing us here, now let's assemble all the seeds together."
Hoffman said: "Hand in your food, too."
The crowd burst into turmoil.
Cai said: "We must be of one mind! No one can have disloyalty!"
The crowd began to hand in their food.
Hoffman, Cai and Karen then sorted out the prisoners by different specialties. Steel-makers, financiers, car-producers, plane-makers, managers, computer engineers, doctors, writers, directors, actors, reporters, transporters, architects, teachers, tax collectors, officials, weavers, designers, turners...
There were all kinds of people amongst the prisoners.
"In the different groups of people, only the prisoners are with uncovered talent." Cai said with great delight.
50 million prisoners were of different occupations. For example, there were TV journalists, radio ones, newspaper ones, magazine ones, agency ones, photographers and so on.
The moon, having been desolate for billions of years, was now full of vitality.
Chapter 5
Motivated by the desire of life, 50 million prisoners worked desperately to build a living environment under the leading of Hoffman, Cai and Karen.
They struggled with their good faces. As they knew clearly about human beings' past faults, they tried their best to avoid making similar mistakes while constructing the moon. Thus they didn't meet any frustrations or failures.
The miracle appeared. They spent only 4 years building the moon a star with high technology and high civilization, whose level was much higher than the earth. They call themselves "Lunar Inhabitants".
It was easy to judge Lunar Inhabitants' thoughtfulness by their law of marriage. Lunar Inhabitants' law of marriage prescribed that marriage was timed. The couples could either stop or continue the marriage by the end time. However, if the couples had a child, it would be illegal for them to stop the marriage before the child's 18th birthday.
On the moon, skyscrapers scattered here and there; highways and subways crossed each other; cars, trains and planes constituted cubic traffic methodically.
The grandest buildings on the moon were schools and the most important curriculum at school was law.
Finally, the marketplace of the moon was saturated. Their productions overstocked, including cars, planes, grains, textiles, appliances, computers, and building materials...
In recent days, Hoffman, Cai and Karen were anxious. Overstock meant collapse to enterprises, collapse to enterprises meant job losses, job losses meant social unstability, and at last, social unstability would lead to severe consequences.
Cai telephoned Hoffman and Karen to go to his house for a discussion.
Hoffman and Karen drove intellectualized cars to Cai's villa. Cai, Karen and Hoffman were living in the worst buildings on the moon, driving the worst vehicles and private helicopters. 50 million Lunar Inhabitants admired these three leaders extremely.
The discussion began.
"We must look for new marketplace, otherwise the moon has no way out." Cai said.
"Stock market falls these days." Karen replied worriedly.
"Where can we expand our marketplace?" Hoffman asked himself.
Silence.
"Earth!" they said in one voice.
Silence again.
Someplace overdeveloped because of high-tech, and led to the saturation of their marketplace and the overstock of their productions. Then they began to occupy the marketplace of undeveloped regions by their advantage at technology and quality. This was a typical way of aggression in the 21st century.
"Do it, survival of the fittest." Hoffman said.
"Their moving prisoners to the moon is a fatal error." Cai said.
"They even want to award Bruce the Nobel Prize of peace!" Karen said.
"Doing stupid things, for the human beings, is a way of sustaining balance." Hoffman said.
They made a decision to expand their marketplace on the earth.
They also decided to try their best to use good-mannered way.
Chapter 6
Arrogant earth people were completely unaware of the changes of the moon. Most of them considered that the moon had become the grave of the prisoners. Some of them even forgot the migration.
Recently, some incredible accidents happened to the international economic domain attracted much attention of the earth people.
Firstly an international bank with 123 years' history collapsed inconceivably. Look at it from the appearance, it was caused by cheating. However, experts didn't think so. They thought that a kind of strong force from outside destroyed the bank.
Soon afterwards, 17 large banks collapsed following that bank. The international money market fell into a terrible mess. The foreign exchange markets and the stock markets both went abnormal like a drunken person.
Enterprises were fleshes while finance was blood. Blood went bad and fleshes could no longer subsist. Famous international enterprises collapsed one after one. Car- producing first, and then computer engineering, and then appliance producing, and then food manufacturers...
The board chairman of the most famous car-producing corporation in the world cried when his enterprise collapsed, and the managing director fell sick.
The Internet Expressway was invaded by an unknown virus overnight. The virus blocked the expressway as if nothing could found and clear it. A lot of important data was lost and a great deal of valuable information came to naught.
When the earth people had no way out, various kinds of productions with FANRENTM came, including cars, computers, appliances, foods and building materials...
The earth people had never seen such advanced productions, had never seen such high-quality productions, and had never seen such cheap productions.
FANRENTM became really a world-famous brand and an integrated brand, for it had included all kinds of productions, large as jets, small as needles.
The civil industry of the earth fell in unprecedented danger and soon died out.
A Chinese boy first discovered that FANREN was the Chinese word spelling for "prisoner". FANRENTM was the masterpiece of Cai.
The medium was in an uproar.
Some imaginative people occurred the moon prison.
USA Aviation Bureau immediately got down to observing the moon. The real surface of the moon was discovered.
The UN Secretary-general was greatly irritated when a scientist gave him a report entitled "Earth Is Becoming the Colony of Moon".
"Damn it!" the secretary-general slammed the desk, "A group of prisoners is not honorary even on the moon and they continue to commit crimes!"
"Their technology is much higher than the earth, for FANRENTM is their production." The scientist told the secretary-general.
"It's unbelievable!" said the secretary-general, driving an extra luxurious car with FANRENTM.
"It's truly unbelievable. They have spent 4 years developing the same civilization as we've done in 5,000 years, using almost bare hands." Claimed the scientist.
"Mixed good and bad is welfare while separated is calamity." Sociologists said.
"The circumstance of earth is very dangerous! We must make a decision as early as possible." Said US president, who had come together.
The secretary-general decided to hold an emergent UNSC conference.
The first decision of the conference was to execute Bruce.
The second decision was to resist the economic aggression from the moon, by forbidding the earth people from buying FANRENTM productions, so as to protect and develop the civil industry of the earth.
However, it was of no use, the consumers went on buying cheap and fine FANRENTM productions.
No way out, the UNSC decided to fight against Lunar Inhabitants.
The first interstellar nuclear missile roared towards to the moon.
Hoffman pressed the anti-missile button lightly, and the interstellar missile turned around and burst in New York.
New York was devastated.
The earth people were irritated. They decided to fight against Lunar Inhabitants to death, in order to defend the honor and the marketplace of virtuous people.
Star wars would soon unveil.
