“新的一年,希望两岸像我们的感情一样,越来越靠近,越来越亲密。”近日,在北京定居的台湾青年林宇阳和来自西安的太太王曼接受中新社记者采访时说。
疫情防控政策调整后,许多两岸夫妇像林宇阳和王曼一样,在这个春节假期返回台湾过年,感受一脉相承的中华传统年俗。他们带着小家庭的爱跨海而去,讲述着两岸融合发展、走亲走近的生动故事。
赠年礼:从头到脚的心意
春节前夕,林宇阳、王曼踏上了返台旅程。林宇阳在行李箱中装了“比台湾口味更烈”的大陆白酒,王曼则带了柿饼、龙须酥等陕西特产,打算与亲友分享。
“回家的机票太火爆,实在是一票难抢。”两岸夫妇王强、丁文蕴一样归乡心切。与家人在大陆团聚后,太太丁文蕴在正月初四带着一双儿女回到台湾。行李箱中,带去了王强为岳父岳母准备的新年礼物——大陆产的新款智能手机。
王强回忆,刚结婚时,两人常从台湾带回许多电子产品;最近几年,大陆的电子产品更新迭代迅速,在台湾也拥有较高知名度,特别受欢迎。
今年,台青林锦葳带着儿子梦梦回台北过年;为照顾小女儿圆圆,来自山东的太太张舒和爸妈留在北京团圆。回乡的行李箱中,张舒为台北的家人准备了各式礼物,海参等保养品是来自爸妈的心意,送给公婆的运动鞋、新衣服则延续“新年添新衣”的习俗。“是从头到脚的心意。”梦梦补充道。
品年味:两岸新春都一样
往年新春,为与双方家人团聚,两岸夫妇们常在短暂的假期中跨海奔波。亲友们期盼团圆的心情与热情难却,林宇阳和王曼的行程总是安排得满满当当,两人都觉得“虽然累点,但还是很快乐”。
今年除夕,夫妇二人来到台北迪化街采买年货。购物的人群熙熙攘攘,火红的春联、各式各样的花灯装点着大街小巷,让两人感受到和大陆一样的浓浓“年味儿”。
回忆从前和来自山东的丈夫王强回乡过年,朋友们结伴去邻居家拜年的场景让丁文蕴记忆犹新,“场面十分热闹,充满新春气氛”。台湾春节的仪式感也令王强印象深刻:一家人定要围在一起吃顿年夜饭,人多到“一张桌子都坐不下”。他感受到,“很多习俗与大陆别无二致,这就是两岸一家亲的生动体现”。
2020年回台湾过年,作为医务人员的王强和丁文蕴担忧疫情形势,正月初三便飞回北京待命。最近几年与家人在北京迎新春,则在“云端”同海峡对岸的亲友分享喜悦。“按家庭传统,长辈会在除夕夜发红包,晚辈则要正式地向老人家拜年,”丁文蕴说,这是令小朋友最期待、最兴奋的时刻。
新年愿望:常走动,多来往
除陪伴家人外,这个假期,林宇阳和王曼还安排了一场在台湾的旅行。七年前二人相识于花莲的旅途中,如今期待旧地重游。
过去一年,林宇阳重返校园深造,在中国人民大学攻读博士学位;王曼则坚持健身,重拾健康状态。如今在北京定居,两人的生活比从前更精致,让居住的胡同小屋“更有家的感觉”。
回台湾前,林锦葳和张舒的儿子梦梦画了一幅与春节有关的画,“一群兔子坐着鞭炮,告别满是老虎的山,象征着我们挥别旧年,迎来新年”。
孩子们成长的速度越来越快,令林锦葳和张舒倍感欣慰。他们把小朋友的生活点滴拍成短视频发在家庭群中,以便台北的家人及时关注。两人期待,随着疫情缓和,两岸亲友间的走动更加方便。
常回家看看,这也是王强和丁文蕴夫妇的新年心愿,他们希望未来每年至少回台湾两趟,享受更多面对面的团圆。(完)
中新网评:处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称,将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对,企图将核污水“一倒了之”,把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图:日本福岛第一核电站。2011年,福岛核电站事故发生后,大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋,对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害,数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日,作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由,在2021年4月13日,正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多,日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称,这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全,甚至“可以喝”,这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上,经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质,核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收,长期来看,将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁,最终危害人类健康。
因此,核污水排海计划推出后,遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示,福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中,约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场,反对该计划。
日本政府认为,核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案,但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海,核污水会随着洋流流动,其影响势必会跨越国界,危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称,相关研究认为,福岛核污水如果排放入海,约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域,该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告,若日本将所有核污水排入海中,不到半年,整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁,包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国,有义务保护海洋环境。然而,在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上,日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估,但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论,并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下,日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设,这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道,日本必须正视各方合理关切,在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后,制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远,若只顾眼前,执意将核污水排放入海,不仅其自身,周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单,其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
