关于青春,关于永恒

(2006-10-13 12:16:11) 下一个


        青春永驻,可以当作理想来长存。真正要做到,也可以,古代中国的曹植和近代的徐志摩做到了,外国的戴安娜也做到了,那就是英年早逝。生命可以永恒,冷冻基因,或者克隆个体。但灵魂和思想不能冷冻,目前也没有磁或光的技术忠实地记录和克隆人脑的思想和灵魂。所以人没有永恒。好好活这几十来年,就是对生命馈赠的最好报答。造物也好,造化也罢,人总是离不开物理和化学,逃不脱合成和分解。两个细胞合成了,人生出来,降临这尘世;大限到了,躯体要分解,把原料还给大自然。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

秋水长天 回复 悄悄话 关注中国农村农民医疗保障体制

关注中国农村农民医疗保障体制

----美国爱心基金会邀请北大专家赴美讲学



应美国爱心基金会邀请,北京大学公共卫生学院副研究员王红漫博士于4月29日至5月6日访美,并于5月2日在华盛顿美国国际战略研究中心(CSIS)圆桌座谈会上发表了题目为《中国农村医疗保健制度的挑战与机遇》的演讲。会议由著名中国问题专家、美国国际战略研究中心的中国问题研究室主任季北慈博士(Dr. Bates Gill)主持,世界银行东亚和太平洋发展部的经济学家、亚洲及中国健康项目评估负责人林德朗博士(Dr. Magnus Lindelow)点评。美国国会中国特别委员会总顾问Susan Roosevelt Weld、美国国务院、卫生部疾控中心等政府官员出席了会议。美国国际战略研究中心、美国爱心基金会、美国亚洲文化学院、亚洲基金会、国际新闻工作者中心、国际中国文化出版社、Project Hope等基金会和非政府组织的代表约30人参加了会议。王红漫博士向与会者介绍了深入中国农村调查四年,农民对健康和医药需求的调研情况,以及目前中国政府所采取的一系列积极应对措施,中国对整个人类健康所做的贡献。大家就经济、技术和政策前景进行了评估和讨论。

随着“经济全球一体化”的发展,公共卫生和人类健康巳成为各国之间合作交流的重要领域。BATES GILL博士首先发言对远道而来的王红漫博士表示热情欢迎。他表示,美国国际战略研究中心对中国国内发展情况的研究已引起对此问题的广泛关注。比尔.盖茨等基金会已对中国的艾滋病防治提供专款资助。爱心及其他基金会在有关领域也作出了积极努力。但是不可否认,中国目前的社会保障机制仍然面临许多挑战。

王红漫博士在演讲中,总结了她带领的课题组在过去四年来对中国20个省(直辖市)的农村医疗保险制度的实地考察情况、综合分析及政策意义。王红漫博士高度肯定了中国政府在卫生工作中取得的成绩和对世界的贡献;介绍了中国的新型农村合作医疗制度,该制度给广大农民在医疗方面带来的实惠,分析了具体实施新型农村合作医疗制度过程中面临的困难和问题。王红漫博士强调,在考察中大多数农民都认为中国现行的农村政策使他们的生活得到了切实的改善。另外王红漫博士表示包括世界银行在内的国际组织,在与中国公共健康领域有许多合作空间,双方可以开展交流与合作,希望与GILL 及LINDELOW博士在这一领域的有关研究课题方面进行更多地交流及切磋。

GILL博士对王红漫博士演讲中的来自实地考察的详实的研究数据、资料及她对该研究课题的独到见解表示赞赏,他表示将继续关注并期待王红漫博士进一步的研究结果。

Lindelow博士认为,王红漫博士的研究很有启发性,不应低估新型农村合作医疗制度的重要性。中国政府这一新举措的目标是覆盖全国,中央政府首次在农村医疗保险方面提供财政补贴。从这个角度来讲,其意义深远。但不可否认在具体实施过程中会有一些问题。首先这一新制度是自愿性的,这包含一定的风险。一方面,地方政府需要每家每户地做工作,说服农民加入新制度;另一方面,与年长体弱的人口相比,年轻健壮的群体将有可能不愿加入。Lindelow博士指出较富裕的人口群体将比较贫穷的群体更多地受益于政府的财政补贴,因此一个可能的解决办法是将发达地区的财政补贴引入落后地区,使两者之间的差异缩小以提高该制度的实施效率。

王红漫博士还解答了参加座谈会的听众的一些相关问题。GILL博士在总结中提出.王红漫博士及Lindelow博士的观点都很中肯,符合中国的现实国情,并对中国新型农村合作医疗制度充满信心,相信通过各方努力一定能得以成功的实施。

醉请风 回复 悄悄话 吉藏凶,凶藏吉;富贵焉能长富贵?日中昃,月盈亏,急急流年,滔滔似水,到头这一身,难逃那一日, 受用了一朝,一朝便宜。 百岁光阴,七十者稀。
