(新春走基层)福建宁德归侨侨眷的年夜饭：东南亚美食大融合******
中新网宁德1月21日电 (吕巧琴 吴允杰)印尼烤饼、烤粽、咖喱鸡、扣肉、大黄鱼……在印尼归侨汤松园的眼中，年味就是除夕年夜饭餐桌上各式各样的菜肴。
“我们家属于‘大融合菜系’，年夜饭非常丰盛。”21日，现年67岁的汤松园在福建宁德市笑着对记者说，除了准备印尼菜系与宁德本地菜外，受越南归侨好友“熏陶”，还会准备一些越南菜。
汤松园所在的华侨新村社区新春元素随处可见。 受访者 供图印尼菜咖喱味要浓才好吃，宁德大黄鱼用印尼菜的做法加工别有风味，印尼烤饼必须要有……谈起年夜饭的准备，汤松园侃侃而谈，“也不是过年才吃这些，现在日子好了，每天都吃得很丰盛。”
1961年，汤松园随父母回国，先期被安置在厦门同安的华侨农场，1965年又被安置到宁德市东湖塘华侨农场。
1965年，东湖塘华侨农场在宁德三都澳畔创建，由归侨与当地民工数万人填海筑堤围垦而成，先后安置了印尼、马来西亚、越南等地归侨4000多人。
“当时相当穷，吃白米饭就是一种奢望，每天都盼着过年，因为过年就有肉吃，有新衣服穿，现在的孩子根本想象不到。”回忆起当时的苦日子，汤松园仍记忆犹新。
华侨新村社区工作人员张贴“福”字。 受访者 供图1997年，东湖塘华侨农场获批成立闽东华侨经济开发区，1999年5月升级为省级经济开发区。2006年4月，闽东华侨经济开发区与闽东工业园区整合，更名为福建东侨经济开发区。2012年12月，经国务院批准，东侨经济开发区再度升级为国家级经济技术开发区。
历经多年发展，如今的东侨经济技术开发区坐拥3800亩东湖、2000多亩西陂塘以及国家级湿地公园，四面环绕保持生态原貌的南岸公园、北岸公园、塔山公园等休闲景观，已是一个宜业宜居家园，2021年度综合发展水平在全国217个国家级经济技术开发区中位列第22位。
“现在的生活和以前比，可以说是翻天覆地，每天吃的有鱼有肉，房子住得也很舒心。”汤松园说，特别是各级党委政府都非常关心归侨侨眷，逢年过节都会来看望慰问。
退休后从事社区工作的汤松园，近段时间来都在忙着帮助上门慰问社区里的归侨侨眷，除送上慰问金、慰问品外，还张罗着在社区内张贴春联、悬挂大红灯笼。汤松园说，除了新春慰问外，也希望用这些新年装饰让社区里的归侨侨眷都能感受到浓浓年味。
与汤松园有着同样想法的还有“侨三代”、侨企宁德市闽澳华侨汽车服务有限公司总经理黄超伟，他在公司的每个门上都贴上了春联。
“对我来说，年味就是这些春联、灯笼，看着就非常吉祥喜庆。”黄超伟说，特别是近些年宁德发展快速，城区环境设施也日益完善，春节期间街道两旁悬挂着的彩灯、灯带等装饰特别有年味。
黄超伟的外公是马来西亚归侨。“小时候过年，外公会做特色烤粽；现在他年纪大了，也很少做了。”谈起马来西亚美食，黄超伟回忆满满。
“今年年夜饭，将继续与外公一家团聚。”谈及新年愿望，黄超伟说，希望借着宁德快速发展的东风，接好上一代发展的接力棒。(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.
