归乡之旅弥漫着“年味儿”。福字窗花、小兔子挂饰、喜庆的红色冬青果摆件……透过这趟春运首日开往邯郸东的列车车窗,记者和拎着行李一同上车的旅客们已经感受到满满的春节氛围。

中国铁路北京局集团有限公司(简称“北京局集团公司”)石家庄客运段倾心乘务组列车长高敏介绍,为迎接春运,铁路部门在安全保障、优质服务、疫情防控等方面做好了充足准备,列车还为旅客准备了年历等小礼物,不仅为旅客提供平安、有序、温馨的乘车体验,也让回家的旅途多一份纪念。

同车的小伙儿秦志帅和哥哥则“轻装上阵”返乡。“带了几个N95口罩,准备回家呆10天,多陪陪爷爷奶奶。”他说,最近一段时间,看到身边的人对疫情的心态都越来越平和,“大家不再那么紧张了,从北京到邯郸也很近,这次回家很放心。”
除在列车运行途中加强消毒频次、实时提示旅客佩戴口罩等措施外,高敏称,已充分做好大客流的安全预想,并将通过更新服务理念、提升服务形象、优化服务内容,不断提升旅客的乘车感受,使旅客出行体验更美好。

“京味儿”藏在行李箱。今年26岁的芦女士来北京工作已有两年,她在候车室告诉记者,这次回甘肃老家,自己特意买了一盒北京稻香村的糕点,准备给家人尝鲜。此外,还带了备用的感冒药等。她说,因为距离比较远、乘车时间长,之前过年回家需要做几次核酸,今年明显方便多了。“回家后先和爸爸妈妈一起准备年货,今年除夕一家人将在一起看春晚,吃一顿火锅,现在想一想已经很幸福了。”她笑着说。
在候车室内,记者看到,保洁人员不间断对各类设施进行清洁消毒,即便是人员密集的站厅,垃圾桶周围并无杂乱现象。
记者从北京交通部门了解到,春运期间,北京各车站将加强站车通风消毒工作,对候车室、售票厅、车厢等处所,每日做好预防性消毒。对卫生间等密闭场所加强通风,对卫生间、扶手、闸机等重点部位加强消毒,确保为旅客提供干净整洁健康的旅行环境。
6时许,保洁员刘昭琼正在候车室的座位间穿行,依次打扫窗台、地面和垃圾桶。她今年春运期间依旧计划在工作中度过,接下来的40天将是她一年中最忙碌的时候。虽然已经三年没有回湖北老家过年,她说,“新的一年,最重要的是有个好身体,和孩子一起朝着目标继续奋斗。”(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.
