Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

The hot air makes people feel a little irritated, and the asphalt road is so hot that it seems to be roasting, and you can feel the burning temperature even when you step on the ground through the soles of your shoes.Esther Irwin stands on a street corner in Queens with her notebook and signature pen.

On the opposite side of the road, a gray-haired old lady was walking along the street with a cane.Just when she passed a wall, a hand suddenly appeared on the wall, grabbing the pink leather wallet on the old lady's body, and just as the hand was about to withdraw, a figure came from a building not far away. Jumping quickly, while approaching this direction, he shouted, "Chameleon! Stop him!"

When the voice came out, the faces of passers-by who heard it immediately changed. The old lady also found the hand holding her wallet at this time, and screamed instantly, and other passers-by also rushed in this direction.Seeing that the situation was not good, the owner of that hand wanted to squeeze his wallet and withdraw his hand, but was firmly clamped by a passer-by who rushed up.Just the moment of delay, Spider-Man has already jumped to the ground, and that hand has completely become transparent.

Spider-Man nodded to the passer-by, and the moment the passer-by let go, Spider-Man grabbed the hand, and with a sudden force, he pulled the owner of that hand out of the wall like a carrot.The man still wanted to escape, but Spider-Man had already pulled out a fluorescent blue handcuff from his uniform pocket and cuffed his hands.

"You did a good job. Have you practiced?" Spider-Man and the passer-by who controlled the color-changing man just now clapped their hands. Hearing this praise, the young man in his early 20s blushed with excitement, scratched his head and said, "I After graduating, I want to work for the Bureau of Justice."

"Then you have to keep working hard." After Spiderman finished speaking, he left the scene with the discolored man, and the passer-by who had just finished talking with Spiderman turned around and met the envious eyes of others, making this The young man who has not yet graduated can't help puffing out his chest in excitement.

Such a scene might have been unbelievable decades ago, but after the Bureau of Justice has integrated into people's lives, people have become accustomed to such things.

Thirty years after the establishment of the Bureau of Justice, this controversial superpower trial and management organization has gradually taken root and developed around the world, becoming a unique organization that combines law enforcement and trial.The Justice Trial Bureau not only recruits superpowers, but also recruits ordinary people, just like the world’s first Justice Trial Bureau established by Tony Stark in New York insisted——

As long as you have justice in your heart, no matter if you are an ordinary person or a person with superpowers, you can become a just judge.

With the development of the Bureau of Justice around the world, people slowly accepted such a new social service organization, and also realized that there are not only ordinary people in this world, but also those with superpowers.There are good guys and bad guys among them, but that doesn't matter.

And Elisa Lin, who was the first to put forward the prototype of the concept of "Bureau of Justice", was the subject of Esther Owen's interview today.

Esther Owen quickly jotted down a few notes in the notebook, wrote down the little episode she saw just now in her inspiration notebook, inserted the pen back into the pen slot on the side of the notebook, and then continued along the direction.

Eliza Lin, this name is simply a legendary name in the hearts of Americans today.In the United States, from the grandpa on the roadside at the age of 60 to the children in elementary school, I am afraid that there are not many people who do not know this name.

Since her debut in the "Voice of America" ​​audition in her sophomore year of high school, Elisa Lin has maintained an average speed of releasing an album every one to three years, and each album can cause a huge social sensation.She constantly digs into social issues and brings them to light through her music.

At the same time, although Elisa has a very high influence on public social platforms, she rarely appears in front of the public on her own initiative.Except for the promotional period of releasing a new album or participating in public activities, she has kept a low profile in front of the media compared to her influence, and her Twitter account is as active as other public figures. is a trumpet.

Esther Irwin asked Eliza this question at a press conference a few years ago when she was still at The New York Times.

At that time, after a moment of serious thinking, the famous female singer gave this answer, "When your influence on social platforms is getting bigger and bigger, you and other ordinary people on social platforms The right to speak is gradually unequal. Sometimes, you may simply say a word, but in the process of dissemination, what kind of impact will occur is completely uncontrollable. At this time, the only thing I can do is Instead, consider your words more carefully."

According to Esther Owen, who has studied Elisa Lin's experience, this may have something to do with the major online violence that Elisa suffered early in her music career. The music continues to show thinking about the phenomenon of cyber violence.

As Esther Owen was thinking, she had already arrived at the agreed place.

She took a brief look at her clothes through the reflection of the metal door, and then knocked on the door in front of her with anxiety and excitement.

The door opened, and Esther secretly looked at the woman in front of her with joy in her heart.

The blond hair was simply braided into a French braid, and the tail of the hair fell obliquely on the right shoulder. The eyes were still as clear and bright as before, but with a bit of stability after years of precipitation.

The years seem to have treated her particularly favorably, tempering her temperament from the vivaciousness when she was young to the elegance she is today.

"Hello, you are Esther Owen, it's the first time we meet." Eliza smiled and shook hands with Esther, then turned and led her into the room.

Along the way, Esther looked at the surrounding scenes curiously and carefully.The wooden floor exudes a touch of warmth, the furniture in white as the main color is simple and fresh, and the daisies by the window are extraordinarily beautiful in the sunlight, obviously receiving careful care.A photo in the stairwell catches Esther's eye.

It was the photo of Eliza Lin speaking at the United Nations Headquarters for the first time. It was taken by a reporter from the New York Times at the time. Esther had seen that photo when she was still working for the New York Times.

After her United Nations speech that year, Eliza Lim was named Person of the Year by Time Magazine.That year's "Time Magazine" commented on Eliza, "Is a world with superheroes a good thing or a bad thing for ordinary people? This question may never be answered. But Eliza Sha's speech not only alleviated the tense conflict between superheroes and ordinary people, but also not only put forward her own opinions in the speech, but more importantly, she used her influence to speak out, so that more and more ordinary people Actively participate in the discussion of this issue, no longer have fear, but seek a common development path with superpowers. Just like Eliza herself declared, 'Superheroes are born from ordinary people'. … …To remind the American people not to be hijacked by fear into the narrow path of populism, to let the people understand that we should actively participate in public discussions, and to let go of prejudice and build a future together even in the face of a completely unknown alien world, we Selecting Eliza Lim as TIME's 2018 Person of the Year."

With the development of the Bureau of Justice around the world, this selection was praised as a "prophecy" later.

Eliza followed Esther's gaze and also saw the photo.A look of memory flashed in her eyes, "As agreed in the email before, if you have any questions you want to ask, you can ask me anytime during this time."

"At that time," Esther asked, facing the photo, "Why did you choose to propose the establishment of a judicial bureau at such a crucial point?"

Eliza's fingers slid across the photo frame, as if thinking of what happened back then, with a smile in her eyes, "Because that might be the best time." She seemed to notice Esther's puzzled gaze, As she walks up the stairs, she explained, “When old ideas are broken, it is also the best time to promote new ideas; when old institutions are challenged, it is best to build new ones in the cracks.”

"If everyone comes to their senses and accepts the protection of superheroes with peace of mind and takes them for granted, then sooner or later, they will stand against superheroes because of this mentality. Because of this world Above all, nothing is ever taken for granted.”

Esther quickly wrote down Elisa's answer, and while listening to her reply, quickly interviewed Elisa according to the questions she had prepared before.

When the interview time was about to come, Eliza's mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up. Esther looked up and saw that her expression became extremely gentle the moment she saw the caller's name.She made an apologetic gesture, got up and walked to the side.

Esther looked towards the window, and the blond woman whispered a few words to the person on the other side, and she didn't know what the person on the other side replied, which made her laugh.

Although separated by such a distance, Esther did not hear what they said, but just watching such a scene already felt very good.

At the beginning of the last draft of the biography, Esther Owen wrote, "If I had to choose a word to describe Eliza Lin's life, I would choose legend."
