關於青春,關於永恒

(2006-10-13 12:16:11) 下一個


        青春永駐,可以當作理想來長存。真正要做到,也可以,古代中國的曹植和近代的徐誌摩做到了,外國的戴安娜也做到了,那就是英年早逝。生命可以永恒,冷凍基因,或者克隆個體。但靈魂和思想不能冷凍,目前也沒有磁或光的技術忠實地記錄和克隆人腦的思想和靈魂。所以人沒有永恒。好好活這幾十來年,就是對生命饋贈的最好報答。造物也好,造化也罷,人總是離不開物理和化學,逃不脫合成和分解。兩個細胞合成了,人生出來,降臨這塵世;大限到了,軀體要分解,把原料還給大自然。如此而已。

 
Lyrics for Song: Live Like You Were Dying
Artist/Band: McGraw Tim

He said: "I was in my early forties,
"With a lot of life before me,
"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next days,
"Looking at the x-rays,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time."
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end?
How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?
An' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn’t.
"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.
"And all of a sudden goin' fishin’,
"Wasn’t such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.
"Well, I finally read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:
"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you’d do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?
"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."


FOREVER YOUNG
Words and music by BOB DYLAN

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.


Forever Young - Rod Stewart

May the good lord be with you down every road you're on
And may sunshine and happiness, surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true
And do unto others as you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young, forever young
May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven with your prince or your vagabond
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young, forever young
Forever Young
Forever Young
And when you finally fly away,
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you
Win or lose
Forever young,
Forever young, forever young


Walk like a man

In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears
Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears
Mama'd use her make up, to hide the bruises on his face
In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace
His old man woke him up to help him find the car
Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar
And swore that he was quittin
And then he'd start to cry
And though the boy knew the truth
Sometimes he'd still believe that lie
When the sins of the father are the sins of the son
All you do is crawl when you wanna run
And God gave boys their mamas cause
They always see their promise
And they help them understand
How to walk like a man
Walk like a man
They moved a lot of places, they never settled down
It got pretty old being the new kid in town
He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today
Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say
The sins of the father are the sins of the son
Crawl before you walk, boy
Walk before you run
Come on, walk straight, I'm proud of you
Take my hand
I know you can
Walk like a man
Walk like a man
Your daddy's demons are callin' your name
Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim
Temptations may come, that ain't no sin
You get stronger every time that you don't give in
The sins of the father are the sins of the son
You can't undo what has been done
You'll have to retrace his footsteps
Through the sand
And pray you find the love of a girl
And take her by the hand
And walk on
Walk like a man

秋水長天 回複 悄悄話 關注中國農村農民醫療保障體製

關注中國農村農民醫療保障體製

----美國愛心基金會邀請北大專家赴美講學



應美國愛心基金會邀請,北京大學公共衛生學院副研究員王紅漫博士於4月29日至5月6日訪美,並於5月2日在華盛頓美國國際戰略研究中心(CSIS)圓桌座談會上發表了題目為《中國農村醫療保健製度的挑戰與機遇》的演講。會議由著名中國問題專家、美國國際戰略研究中心的中國問題研究室主任季北慈博士(Dr. Bates Gill)主持,世界銀行東亞和太平洋發展部的經濟學家、亞洲及中國健康項目評估負責人林德朗博士(Dr. Magnus Lindelow)點評。美國國會中國特別委員會總顧問Susan Roosevelt Weld、美國國務院、衛生部疾控中心等政府官員出席了會議。美國國際戰略研究中心、美國愛心基金會、美國亞洲文化學院、亞洲基金會、國際新聞工作者中心、國際中國文化出版社、Project Hope等基金會和非政府組織的代表約30人參加了會議。王紅漫博士向與會者介紹了深入中國農村調查四年,農民對健康和醫藥需求的調研情況,以及目前中國政府所采取的一係列積極應對措施,中國對整個人類健康所做的貢獻。大家就經濟、技術和政策前景進行了評估和討論。

隨著“經濟全球一體化”的發展,公共衛生和人類健康巳成為各國之間合作交流的重要領域。BATES GILL博士首先發言對遠道而來的王紅漫博士表示熱情歡迎。他表示,美國國際戰略研究中心對中國國內發展情況的研究已引起對此問題的廣泛關注。比爾.蓋茨等基金會已對中國的艾滋病防治提供專款資助。愛心及其他基金會在有關領域也作出了積極努力。但是不可否認,中國目前的社會保障機製仍然麵臨許多挑戰。

王紅漫博士在演講中,總結了她帶領的課題組在過去四年來對中國20個省(直轄市)的農村醫療保險製度的實地考察情況、綜合分析及政策意義。王紅漫博士高度肯定了中國政府在衛生工作中取得的成績和對世界的貢獻;介紹了中國的新型農村合作醫療製度,該製度給廣大農民在醫療方麵帶來的實惠,分析了具體實施新型農村合作醫療製度過程中麵臨的困難和問題。王紅漫博士強調,在考察中大多數農民都認為中國現行的農村政策使他們的生活得到了切實的改善。另外王紅漫博士表示包括世界銀行在內的國際組織,在與中國公共健康領域有許多合作空間,雙方可以開展交流與合作,希望與GILL 及LINDELOW博士在這一領域的有關研究課題方麵進行更多地交流及切磋。

GILL博士對王紅漫博士演講中的來自實地考察的詳實的研究數據、資料及她對該研究課題的獨到見解表示讚賞,他表示將繼續關注並期待王紅漫博士進一步的研究結果。

Lindelow博士認為,王紅漫博士的研究很有啟發性,不應低估新型農村合作醫療製度的重要性。中國政府這一新舉措的目標是覆蓋全國,中央政府首次在農村醫療保險方麵提供財政補貼。從這個角度來講,其意義深遠。但不可否認在具體實施過程中會有一些問題。首先這一新製度是自願性的,這包含一定的風險。一方麵,地方政府需要每家每戶地做工作,說服農民加入新製度;另一方麵,與年長體弱的人口相比,年輕健壯的群體將有可能不願加入。Lindelow博士指出較富裕的人口群體將比較貧窮的群體更多地受益於政府的財政補貼,因此一個可能的解決辦法是將發達地區的財政補貼引入落後地區,使兩者之間的差異縮小以提高該製度的實施效率。

王紅漫博士還解答了參加座談會的聽眾的一些相關問題。GILL博士在總結中提出.王紅漫博士及Lindelow博士的觀點都很中肯,符合中國的現實國情,並對中國新型農村合作醫療製度充滿信心,相信通過各方努力一定能得以成功的實施。
