傲慢与偏见

台当局查扣首辆入台“张雪机车” 民众批滥权阻两岸交流_我的网站

一 |     NEW YORK -- If people really looked for history at the New York City building where the Triangle Shirtwaist factory once existed, they could find it. There are plaques pointing out that it was the site of a horrific fire in 1911 that became a catalyst in the American labor movement's fight for workplace safety protections.But for some, a few words on a wall aren't nearly enough to honor the fire's 146 victims.So after years of effort, the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition on Wednesday is dedicating a new memorial that has no chance of being overlooked.A giant steel ribbon with the names of those who died in the disaster, predominantly women and girls, has been installed running horizontally from one corner of the building. Underneath it, a reflective panel shows the stenciled names as well as quotes from people who were there, describing the mayhem. In the coming weeks, a vertical steel column will be added to the corner to span almost the entire height of the building, a reference to how high up the victims were stuck.It’s the story of desperate immigrant women, mostly Jewish and Italian, who were trapped by a door that was locked because there were no workplace safety rules that said it couldn’t be. Some jumped to their deaths from the windows to avoid the flames.“What they will see is a memorial that tries to build into the object itself the history of the fire, a history of working women, a history of Italians and Jews, a history of tragedy, but then also a history of change,” said Mary Anne Trasciatti, a Hofstra University professor and president of the coalition.The victims were close to the end of their working day on March 25, 1911, when a fire started on the eighth floor of the clothing factory, which took up the top floors of a building now owned by New York University.Frantic workers tried to get out as the flames spread to the ninth and 10th floors, some scrambling to get into an elevator, others heading for the roof. But others who tried to get past a door to escape found it locked, trapping them inside. At a trial of the factory’s owners afterward, some said the door had been kept locked on purpose, over theft concerns.Firefighters responded quickly. But their ladders were too short to get to the topmost floors.Horrified witnesses in the crowd watched as workers leapt from the windows. Among those bystanders was the late Frances Perkins, already an anti-poverty advocate trying to change workplace conditions, and who became even more dedicated after what she saw that day.“It really started her in her push for ‘we have to treat workers better,’” said Ileen DeVault, professor of labor history at Cornell University.Some of her words recollecting the day are part of the memorial, running along the reflective panel. “Every one of them was killed, everybody who jumped was killed.”Perkins would be part of a state commission that put a series of safety rules in place in New York that were emulated elsewhere, and later became an integral part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s cabinet as his secretary of labor. She pushed for policies like minimum wage, workers compensation, and old age pensions.One of the names on the memorial will be that of Rosie Weiner, who died in the blaze, but whose sister and fellow factory worker, Katie Weiner, made it out alive.Later, Weiner would recount how she grabbed an elevator cable to make her escape. Today, her great-niece, Suzanne Pred Bass, is on the board of the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition. Growing up, Bass knew her great-aunt had lived through the fire, but it wasn’t until years later that she heard about Rosie.Bass’ mother remembered accompanying her mother as a small child to the pier where the victims' bodies were taken after the fire.“She never forgot that, she was 4 years old and I can only imagine how how scary and awful,” Bass said.Memorial designers Richard Joon Yoo and Uri Wegman wanted to find a way for modern-day people to connect with the fire and its legacy, they said. The public was invited a few years ago to contribute pieces of fabric that were joined together in a 300-foot (91-meter) “Collective Ribbon." That ribbon’s design was then etched onto the memorial steel that rises up toward the top of the building.It was important to make that connection between past and present because issues of labor, workplace protections, and how workers are treated are still far from settled in the country and the world, Yoo and Wegman said.“Everything that it talks about with women workers, immigration, labor, it’s these touch points that just keep on flaring up over and over and over again,” Yoo said, pointing out that industrial disasters, at garment factories and elsewhere, still happen around the globe.The two came up with the design for the memorial about a decade ago. It is coming to fruition, with a capital budget of about $3 million, during a year of labor activism in some U.S. industries, with strikes by auto workers, hospital staff, film and television writers and screen actors.It just shows that the Triangle Shirtwaist fire still has lessons to impart, Bass said.“We forget a tragedy like this at our own peril,” she said. “We have the same issues, immigrant issues, safe working condition issues, abuse of women in the workplace issues. It’s not like any of these issues are all fixed."。    　　台北8月13日电（记者黄扬、马欣然）台当局经济事务主管部门日前会同多部门，于台湾新北市查扣首辆入台“张雪机车”820RR。民众批评此举是政治操弄，滥用权力限阻两岸交流。　　今年3月以来，“张雪机车”在世界超级机车锦标赛多次夺冠，成为“机车之岛”台湾的热议话题，夺冠同款的量产820RR令不少台湾车迷神往。据了解，岛内落地的首台“张雪机车”820RR系网名“小飞哥”的台湾工程师王先生与网络博主“米亚”将整车拆解后分批运输回台、历时一个半月亲手组装而成，一经展览便引发围观热潮。　　王先生12日首度通过社交媒体公开回应，车辆并非以整车方式进口，而是从广州购买后拆解零件，再混用其他厂牌零件于台湾加工组装，强调“所有的报单都可以查验核对”，并已配合相关部门将车辆带回调查。　　按照台有关部门现行规定，大陆重型机车整车及引擎“属于不准输入项目”。　　台经济事务主管部门声称，业者于台湾组装成车同样涉及相关法规，必须事先申请许可，且还要符合不得妨害所谓“安全”及经济等条件。该部门还称，若开放大陆重机相关产业进入，可能对岛内产业及市场秩序造成冲击，因此即使业者提出相关申请，主管机关也不会核发许可。

二 | 　　“张雪机车”被查扣消息传出，引发民众质疑与不满。有网友讽刺道：“如果忽然让台湾发现大陆机车这么好、这么超值，那之前所有的抹黑努力，岂不是前功尽弃！”还有网友怒批：“台湾已经是绿色恐怖时代。”　　更有民众指出，民进党当局不允许来自大陆的机车整车输入，但对日本、欧美等其他国家或地区产制的整车机车大门敞开，这种行为完全是“双重标准”。　　“民进党究竟在怕什么？”在台北经营一家摩托车行的陈先生认为，当局对于一台私藏展示的组装摩托车如此大动干戈，“恐怕还是因为政治的原因”。　　台湾车评人谢宗桓在社交平台发文质疑，台主管单位动用跨部门力量查缉阵仗之大，好像面对的不是摩托车。　　面对台湾车友多次询问“什么时候卖来台湾”，“张雪机车”创始人张雪曾表示非常想赴台湾开店，并承诺未来台湾车主将和大陆车主享受完全一样的售后保障服务，还期待在台湾与车友环岛骑行。张雪的表态受到两岸网友好评。
