(新春走基层)香港女孩在浙江横店创业:事业爱情双丰收
中新网金华1月26日电(董易鑫)“我们从正月初一到正月初六都是挨家挨户地拜年,我男朋友是本地人,家这边的亲戚特别多,特别热闹。”26日,1999年出生的香港女孩蔡雅汶告诉记者,前几天,自己和爱人楼佳明在浙江金华东阳市横店举行了订婚宴。
2008年,蔡雅汶和哥哥蔡志强随母亲来到浙江生活。“我的哥哥之前在香港的茶餐厅工作,后来随着妈妈在义乌做外贸生意。”蔡雅汶回忆,自己的初中、高中时光在浙江度过。
“当时做了几年外贸生意,我哥有自己开一家茶餐厅的想法。我嫂子是横店人,两个人结婚后,就在横店开了第一家港式茶餐厅。现在,我们在横店有5家门店,在义乌、杭州也设有分店。”蔡雅汶告诉中新网记者。
位于浙江中部的横店,构建了完整的影视产业生态链,累计接待剧组超3800个,是全球最大的影视实景拍摄基地之一。
蔡雅汶(前排右一)和家人一起庆祝新年。 蔡雅汶 供图1997年香港回归祖国,为内地和香港电影行业进一步交流提供了现实基础。2003年《内地与香港关于建立更紧密经贸关系的安排》的签署,为香港电影获得了打入内地市场的“新引擎”,大批香港影人顺势“北上”探寻发展之路。
横店便是大批香港影人的目的地之一。2005年,香港导演李国立担任制作人,香港导演吴锦源、梁胜权、麦贯之等人执导的古装仙侠剧《仙剑奇侠传》在内地引起轰动,成为一代年轻人的青春记忆。该作品曾在横店取景。
“我是香港人,公司在北京,妻子、孩子常驻上海,我一年有一半以上的时间都在横店的剧组。和我一样在横店的香港导演、演员有很多。这么多年,大家也在这里创作过很多精品作品。”《为有暗香来》剧组监制马田接受中新网记者采访时表示。
在横店的香港影人是蔡雅汶店里的常客。“我们刚来横店开店的时候,这边的港式餐厅并不多。有一次我听到店里有食客用粤语交流,便用粤语回应了下,聊了几句后发现他是香港导演。”蔡雅汶说,后来,这位导演只要在横店拍戏,几乎天天来用餐。
横店一个剧组预订的港式茶点。 蔡雅汶 供图一传十,十传百。蔡雅汶的港式餐厅被越来越多在横店忙碌的香港影人熟知,订单也纷至沓来,常常会接到来自剧组的近百杯冰柠茶订单。为了满足更多客人的饮食习惯,餐品种类也越来越丰富。
蔡雅汶和爱人楼佳明也因餐厅结缘。“他经常来店里吃饭,总吃那几样餐点。有时候他来店里不用开口,我就知道他要点什么,一来二去就熟悉了。后来,我们还在旅行途中偶遇过,觉得很有缘分,他也很照顾我和我的家人,便决定在一起了。”蔡雅汶分享起自己的爱情故事眼带笑意、有些腼腆。
“今年横店的游客很多,也有好几个筹备剧组找我们预订餐食,店里特别特别忙。大年初三我们就开门营业了,我妈妈几乎每天都喊我赶紧回店里帮忙。”蔡雅汶说,未来,店里会继续丰富港味餐品,她和爱人计划今年中旬领结婚证。(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.
