身披白袍似战甲：“手术刀”谱写生命华美乐章******
中新网湖州2月3日电(施紫楠 张璐)“阿福医生，你现在可成了‘大明星’了，上春晚感觉怎么样啊？”“阿福医生，年三十那天，我可特意等着看你呢！”3日，回医院上班的第二天，彭福生还是会收到身边同事和患者们的关心。
面对大家的各种问题，好脾气的彭福生笑着一一回应，“‘明星’就算了，手术台才是我的主舞台。”
今年42岁的彭福生，是浙江省湖州市中心医院泌尿科的一名医生，也是全国各行各业百姓歌手、湖州卫健人、“手术刀乐队”的代表。兔年除夕夜，他参与央视春晚合唱节目《早安，阳光》的演出。
彭福生出生在广东揭阳一个医学世家，爷爷是皮肤科医生，奶奶是妇产科医生，父亲是中药药剂师，亲友也多为医务人员。从小，他就立志当一名医生，拿起手术刀，悬壶济世。

如果说少时，彭福生喜欢的是舞台上的澎湃，聚光灯下的闪耀；那么长大后，他爱上的则是歌词里的生命，舞台下的青春。他说，学医是始终未变的初心，音乐也是坚持不变的梦想。
“我明白能有机会登上央视春晚，不是因为自己有多特别，而是因为身上的这一袭白衣，和‘手术刀乐队’10年来的坚持以及医院对我们的全力支持。”彭福生说，疫情防控这几年，医务人员的辛苦与付出，大家都看在眼里。
“其实这个机会可以说是大家让给我的，所以我也特别珍惜和感激。”彭福生回忆，因为当时只有一个名额，大家在考虑演出需要、工作实际、家庭情况等综合因素后，选择他成为那个“幸运儿”。
“手术刀乐队”成员合影 受访者 供图成立于2012年的“手术刀乐队”，成员主要来自湖州市医疗系统。队长兼鼓手童涌是湖州市中心医院感染科医生，彭福生是贝斯手，唱和声，有时也客串吉他手和主唱。
10多年来，乐队不仅举办过专场演唱会，也常去各个公益舞台一展风采，并一直尝试做原创音乐，把生活中的经历写进歌词，已创作出《拥有爱》《不是无所谓》《路》《梦想启航》等20余首原创作品。
其中，《拥有爱》是乐队的代表作之一，正是由彭福生作词作曲。
“我有一件大衣，一尘不染洁白如玉，披在我身重有千斤，一直坚持不言放弃。不管危险荆棘，就算进入黑暗世纪，不会忘记最初誓言，永远记得壶悬世济……”这是彭福生最喜欢的一段歌词。
“这首歌创作于疫情防控期间，也许不能和专业的词曲比，但每一字每一句都是源于生活，希望能给身边的人带去力量。”彭福生说，一路走来，他才慢慢发现，生命才是那一曲最华美的乐章。(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.
