孩子会不会“过龄”？——CSPA 政策收紧下的亲属移民新风险解析
作者｜之间博客 在美国的亲属移民体系中，“等待”几乎是所有家庭的共同命运。有的父母提交了申请，却要等上几年甚至十几年，才能真正与家人团聚。而对于有未成年子女的申请人来说，这个等待还伴随着另一层焦虑——孩子会不会在等待中年满 21 岁，从而失去与父母一同获得绿卡的资格？这就是移民法里常说的 aging out，中文通常叫“过龄”。 为了避免因为政府审批延迟而让孩子“过龄”，美国国会在 2002 年通过了《儿童身份保护法》（Child Status Protection Act，简称 CSPA）。它的设计初衷，是在一定条件下“冻结”或“回溯”孩子的年龄，让他们在法律上依然算作“21 岁以下”，从而保留随父母一起申请绿卡的机会。

《东极岛》：在历史深海中点亮人性的灯塔
从深海走来的提问：在分裂中，人性是否依然可贵？ 文｜语间 【导读】一段舟山渔民的救援，跨越时空与国界。《东极岛》让观众重新思考：当世界再度陷入对立，人道的底线，我们遵守得住吗？ 被遗忘的战争篇章 2025年8月，一部饱含历史厚度的中国电影《东极岛》（Dongji Rescue）在北美正式上映。影片取材于二战时期鲜为人知的“里斯本丸沉船事件”：1942年，日军押解1800余名英国战俘的运输船被击沉，数千人落入浙江舟山海域。在生死一线之间，当地渔民不顾危险，以一叶叶小舟救起了大批素昧平生的外国战俘。 由管虎、费振翔联合执导，朱一龙、吴磊、倪妮等主演，《东极岛》并没有选择宏大的战场场面，而是把镜头对准最卑微的个体，聚焦于普通渔民的勇气与选择。影片以IMAX画幅呈现波涛汹涌的海上救援，不仅是一次技术与视听的突破，更是一场关于人性与善良的追问。
