乘着“慢火车” 迈进幸福年******

　　又到一年春运时。神州大地上，一列列“复兴号”“和谐号”载满了踏上归途的旅客，飞驰的列车处处洋溢着节日的气息。在陕西，一列开行在秦岭山区、最低票价仅3元的6063次公益“慢火车”，也为沿线居民带来了新春的喜悦。

　　1月9日清晨，在新疆乌鲁木齐打工的李承仓经过K1538次列车30个小时的路途，终于抵达“中转站”陕西宝鸡站，在这里，他还需要倒一趟6063次“慢火车”，才能到达自己的家乡甘肃宏庆。

　　李承仓的身边放着一件半人高的拎包，还有一件用床单裹起来的行李。“这里面全是新疆特产！开心果、巴旦木，还有大枣，带回来给孙子尝尝！”

　　李承仓将要乘坐的6063次列车被誉为“秦岭最美小慢车”，已经开行了65个年头，全程350公里，沿途停靠秦岭深处的32个车站，大部分是乡村小站，车上的乘客有进城卖菜的老乡，也有上下学的孩子们，日常通勤的务工人员，可以说6063次列车就是山里的“铁路公交”。

　　以往，山里的村民们大多没有收入来源，只能在家种些蔬菜瓜果，养些鸡鸭鱼鹅。对他们来说，6063次列车就是免费货车，所有的蔬菜、水果、家禽，无论多少，都不收一分运费。如今虽然大家都富裕了，但把火车当货车的习惯却延续了下来。

　　今年58岁的向宝林是6063次“慢火车”的列车长，已在铁路部门工作40余年。据他介绍，临近春节，大家都在备年货，许多老乡刚把特产提上车，就被别的旅客直接买走了，为了方便老乡卖货，他也会把一些卖菜信息通过广播推广出去，列车俨然成了一座“小型菜市场”。

　　今年中国铁路西安局还为管内担当的七对公益性“慢火车”全部升级为空调列车，6063次“慢火车”也升级了。“升级后，车厢环境更加温暖整洁。”向宝林说。

　　“慢火车”承载的不仅是乡情，更是公益。如今的高铁时代，像6063次这样的“慢火车”在祖国的偏远地区仍有81对，日均发送旅客超6万人次。不论时代如何变化，铁路人肩上的社会责任和历史使命始终未变，这些“慢火车”将继续为飞速前行的中国社会做好基础保障，让山区人民享受到发展的红利。

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。

　　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.
