□彭娟/文 邱海鹰/图 大寒节气，华蓥山上，连绵的山峦银装素裹，山居民宿错落有致；山下，工业园区动能澎湃，宜居新城笑语相 伴。曾经，"川东煤都"广安华蓥市是一个典型的资源型老工矿城市，因"一黑（煤炭）一白（水泥）"而兴，历经 三线建设的荣光，又因"关停并转"而困，承受资源枯竭的阵痛。 蝶变始于一场深刻的转型。2009年，华蓥市被确定为全国第二批资源枯竭城市转型试点市，一场以产业进阶为核 心、生态修复为基底、城市焕新为归宿的绿色振兴实践就此拉开帷幕。17年砥砺前行，华蓥积极探索资源型地区 转型发展新路径，立足工业城、旅游市、物流港"三大定位"，实施工业城、旅游市、物流港、城市更新、和美乡 村"五大行动"，这座昔日的"煤城"正以"美城"之姿华丽转身，书写着资源枯竭城市高质量转型发展新篇章。 生态修复 从"工业伤疤"到"绿水青山"的绿色重生 面对历史开采留下的沉陷区、破损山体和生态欠账，修复"工业伤疤"，成为华蓥转型发展必须跨越的一道关口。 华蓥市发展和改革局主要负责人介绍，转型过程中，华蓥坚持产业升级与生态优先并重，大力实施矿山"创伤"修 复、山水林田湖草综合治理、全域江河湖库防护、森林资源保护等生态工程，全面推 ...

美国劳动力市场近期呈现复杂图景，最新数据显示美国失业救济申领人数微幅上升，但整体裁员规模依然维持在历史低位。劳工部周四公布，在截至一月十 七日的一周内，首次申领失业救济人数达到二十万，较前一周小幅增加一千人。尽管这一数字略有攀升，但仍低于市场预期，显示出美国就业市场具有一定 的缓冲韧性。 首次申领失业救济人数是观测裁员动态与市场健康度的关键实时指标。结合近期多项报告观察，美国就业增长整体呈现乏力态势。去年十二月，美国非农部 门新增就业岗位仅为五万个，与此前修正后的十一月数据基本持平。同时，失业率从百分之四点五微降至四点四，这是半年以来的首次下降。 美国一些大型企业近期的动向也印证了市场的调整。多家知名企业已先后宣布裁员计划，涵盖物流、汽车制造、科技与通信等行业。这些个案虽然尚未扭转 整体低裁员的局面，但预示着部分领域正面临结构性调整。 此外，反映更长期趋势的数据也提供了佐证。剔除短期波动的四周平均首次申领失业救济人数已有所下降。同时，持续申领失业救济的总人数在更早一周也 环比减少，这表明美国部分失业人员正在重新找到工作。 综上，凯德北京投资基金分析师认为，美国劳动力市场正处于一个微妙的平衡阶段。表面稳定的低失 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the tension between idealism and realism in global politics, particularly focusing on the limitations of both extreme social Darwinism and utopian ideals in explaining human society and international relations [1][2][6].
