   在曼哈顿西奈山医院七楼的产科病房里，小心翼翼地抱着出生才30几个小时的女儿，她瘦瘦小小的，表情淡淡的，还不肯睁开眼睛看看这个全新的世界。夏日的阳光轻巧地落在她的脸上，有一瞬间，她的嘴角缓缓地动了动，流露出一抹浅浅的笑容。那是女儿人生中的第一次微笑。我相信，那是她对未来未知的生命的期待与喜悦。
    两年前的场景，历历宛如昨日。两年里，和女儿一起成长。两年里，从一个忙忙碌碌、线条粗砺的男人，重新开始思考生命的真意。
    女儿是心中最柔软的一隅。不知是初为人父的亲情触摸，还是年纪愈长心灵愈软，越来越容易受到感动。女儿出生后，对女儿的爱无限蔓延，爱上了目光所及的所有孩子。终于明白了“每一个孩子都是天使”这句话，不是父母的矫情，不是善意的谎言，不是真心的以为，只是一个简单的事实。
    初为人父，战战兢兢。感谢上苍赐予的女儿与我们的缘分，这样华美的相逢。女儿不是我们生命的一部分，也不是我们生命的延续，她是一个独立的个体，我们只是她从另外一个世界来到这个世界的通途。我所能给予她的，只有一个足够宽敞自由的空间，让她尽情尽兴地怒放，享受生命中的阳光、四季、喜悦和丰足，甚至离合悲欢。
    女儿在成长。她教会我的东西，远远超过我教给她的。过了而立之年的人，在异国他乡求学、工作、安家置业的男人，执着于红尘中的林林总总，因着女儿的出生，竟然善感起来，一如少年时沉迷于秦观李后主的时候，只是感动的不再是温柔缱绻的情绪或华丽工整的字句，而是对生命与爱的深沉体验。
    女儿，你的双颊温香，眼睛清亮，你果然与我的梦想一模一样。女儿，牵着我的手，让我们一起成长。这份爱温暖绵长，我与天下父母共享。

Tale of Two Chinas, Protest by Tamils, Artist Feted at UN for Big Paintings and Parents

By Matthew Russell Lee
(http://www.innercitypress.com/un1shanghai080309.html)

UNITED NATIONS, August 3 -- Today's China has many friends, and fewer and fewer accusers. On East 35th Street in Manhattan on Monday, lonesome Tamil protesters stood across the street from China's mission to the UN urging the country to "stop supporting genocide in Sri Lanka," holding signs that told the International Monetary Fund to stop "funding China through Sri Lanka."

    This last was a reference to the IMF's recently approved $2.6 billion loan to Sri Lanka, and to the statement by the Sri Lanka president's brother than the country will continue to make payments to China on the weaponry it bought for its final assault on the Tamil Tigers. The protesters mused to Inner City Press that perhaps those in the Chinese Mission couldn't even hear them.

Later on Monday the lobby of the UN was full for a reception in honor of an exhibition of Chinese art by a 26 year old artists, whose parents were described as helping the UN with its biodiversity display at the Shanghai 2010 Exposition. As coconut encrusted shrimp and white wine were offered by waiters in tuxedos, UN Under Secretary General Joseph Reed called himself a long time friend of China.

  Another USG, Ibrahim Gambari who represents the UN in Myanmar, ran down to the lobby to also pay his respects. China is an important country, in the UN and elsewhere. To the former, China increasingly send peacekeepers and police. It has a major base on Sri Lanka, investments throughout Africa.

As we have previously reported, little was said in the UN about the deaths in Xinjiang in Western China. Turkey's prime minister claimed his country would raise it in the Security Council, but it never happened. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon visited the country and spoke about light bulbs, not Uighurs. He or at least his advisors are worried China would withheld support for a second term, if in a game of international poker they gain control of the World Bank, and Europe gives up the IMF to take over Ban's UN post.

None of these politics were on display on Monday night. Joseph Reed announced the presence, as dignitaries, of the senior vice president of the Bronx Zoo and of representatives of Sotheby's, whom he thanks for their support of the UN. The deputy chief of the Chinese book club described the artist as a "slender girl" with "big paintings."

   Big parents, too, apparently. Her exhibit was sponsored by the Shanghai Overseas Exchange Association. The protest of the Tamils, barely audible even from across First Avenue by the Chinese mission, could not be made out inside the UN lobby. And the band played on.
