(新春走基层)24年春运里的坚守:以小家“咫尺天涯”换万家团圆******
中新网温州1月18日电(黄慧 范凡)又是一年春运时。近些天,人潮涌动中,不计其数的游子带着对家乡浓浓的思念,踏上归家的旅途。但对浙江温州站客运值班员王燕波而言,为了守护万家团圆,她与“近在咫尺”的家却是“远隔天涯”。
今年春运是王燕波加入浙江交通集团金温铁道公司后的第24个春运。作为土生土长的温州人,过去的24年春运期间,她一年不落地坚守在岗位上。
回忆这些年的春运历程,其中包含万般滋味,有为候车早产孕妇接生的紧急,有在寒潮来袭时通宵值守维持秩序的艰辛……多次考验之下,王燕波也逐渐成长为一名业务精通、细致周全的春运守护人。
“列车马上就要检票了,请旅客们排好队。持儿童票、临时身份证的,请走人工通道……”1月17日6时30分,温州站检票口传来王燕波熟悉却又略带沙哑的声音。随着返乡客流高峰到来,她都会在车票开检前5分钟,穿梭在排队的人群里,提醒检票注意事项,确保大客流能快速进站上车。
作为客运值班员,她的主要工作就是负责班组工作安排、旅客候车引导、处置突发情况等。多年的春运经历,让她不仅能顺利化解一切“疑难杂症”,在工作中还总是多想一步、多走一步、多说一句,做旅客“暖心人”。
6时55分,候车厅准时响起K2906次列车的停检广播,乘坐K944次列车的旅客们立马蜂拥而上,将应急检票通道堵得水泄不通。“2906还有一个!还有一个!”这时,对讲机传来安检口的呼叫。
“大家请让一让,把应急验票通道让出来!”“行李往边上挪一挪!”王燕波立即开始清理应急通道,确保晚到的旅客能顺利上车。“早上这两趟车是接连检票,而且K944次客流比较大,K2906次停检这一会,应急通道就会被K944次的大客流堵住,所以通道清理很重要,每一秒都是关键。”
王燕波说,“春运如同‘赛场’,需要争分夺秒地守护好旅客出行之路。”在她口袋常装的小本子上,记录着每天开行的车次和人数,重点标注出大客流列车,根据客流灵活调整开检时间。除了类似K2906次、K944次列车需要短时间内组织大客流上车外,她还用贴心服务温暖着旅客出行。
某一次,王燕波接到一名年迈老人的求助,老人独自返乡,买不到铺位,她迅速联系列车长,并送老人上车,为老人办理补票手续。由于老人携带现金不够,使用的又是老年机,她毫不犹豫地垫付了补票费用。
春运期间,王燕波总会“扎”进候车室,举起喇叭,提醒旅客正在检票的车次和做好防疫措施。工作空档,她也会拿着喇叭去广场引导,提前组织旅客进站上车,缓解高峰压力。一天下来,她平均行走超两万步,说上千句话。
王燕波还有着另一个身份——温州站客运党支部委员。同事们都习惯称呼她为“波姐”,因为她就像知心姐姐那般温暖着身边的每一个人。
“波姐,挺不好意思的,现在春运大客流,但我父亲肺炎住院,老婆也感染了,小孩没人照顾,我能不能申请年休?”刚升级当爸爸的客运员兰福熠纠结了很久,还是拨通了王燕波的电话,语气中尽是无奈。
“你放心照顾家里,工作的事,别担心。”挂上电话,王燕波就开始忙着人员排班,可怎么排都还差一个自助设备引导员。
正当她愁眉不展时,处于高中寒假期间的儿子自告奋勇说:“要不我去当志愿者吧,暑运的时候你们教过我如何使用自助设备。”就这样,人员问题解决了。值岗当天,王燕波早早带着儿子到站,开展岗前培训后才放心去忙自己的事。看着儿子淹没在人海,王燕波担忧之余,眼底尽是欣慰。
春运期间,大家常常一忙就忘了吃饭。王燕波只要得闲,就替岗各个岗位,安排班组人员轮流吃饭,而她自己的午饭断断续续到下午两点多才吃完。她开玩笑道:“这是健康饮食,少食多餐。”
夜幕降临,最后一趟列车作业完毕后,王燕波终于脱下已被汗水打湿的防护服,踏上去往医院的路。谁也想不到,每天最早到岗、最晚下班,照顾到每一个人的王燕波,其实一直都在单位和医院两头跑,照顾因肺炎住院已八十多岁高龄的父亲。
在金温铁道公司,还有许许多多个“波姐”。她们提前到岗、延迟下班,加班加点只为确保旅客运输平安;她们舍弃小家,和同事们并肩作战,坚守一线,只为守护万家团圆。(完)
中新网评:美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后,美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕,众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录,将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。
资料图:美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素,众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中,美国民主党议员继续抱团,多轮投票中,一票不投麦卡锡,共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折,除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外,与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面,共和党党内反对者认为,麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱,无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府,另一方面,因为共和党的多数优势微弱,党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大,有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外,党内反对者也认为,自己的选票没有换取更多利益,希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步,比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物,众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任,选举几乎没有悬念。然而,麦卡锡此次为当选,不得不做出多个关键让步,其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制,使得众议长的权力被削弱,难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称,麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步,这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下,党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上,美国两党相互拆台,陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内,也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系,相互对抗,选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举,“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈,长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力,其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病,美国所谓的“民主”形象,让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举,变成了政客们利益置换的游戏,进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能,不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
