一 | 박성준 "장 대표, 길바닥에서 선동 정치 일삼아"이용우 "징계, 줄세우기로 장동혁 사당만 남아" 장동혁 국민의힘 대표가 26일 오후 서울 여의도 국민의힘 중앙당사에서 당대표 취임 1주년 기자회견을 하고 있다. ⓒ데일리안 홍금표 기자[데일리안 = 김민석 기자] 더불어민주당이 취임 1주년을 맞은 장동혁 국민의힘 대표를 향해 "장동혁 체제 1년, 남은 건 극우 선동과 윤어게인 뿐"이라고 비판했다. 특히 6·3 지방선거 과정에서 불거진 투표 용지 부족 사태에 집중한 장 대표의 모습을 '길바닥 선동정치'로 규정하며 "대한민국 정치에 보수와 야당이 실종됐다"고 날을 세우기도 했다.박성준 민주당 수석대변인은 26일 서면 브리핑을 내어 "장 대표는 극우세력 음모론에 편승해 국회는 내팽개치고 길바닥에서 선동정치를 일삼았다"면서 "연일 망언을 일삼는 이진숙, 김태규 의원 같은 윤 어게인 세력을 공천해 국회를 '윤 어게인의 놀이터'로 만들었다"고 비판했다.박 수석대변인은 "장 대표는 반대파에게는 윤리위원회라는 칼을 휘둘러 숙청 정치를 이어가고 있다. 대한민국 정치에 보수와 야당이 실종됐다"며 "아직 장 대표에게는 1년이라는 시간이 남아 있다. 제1야당으로 본연의 역할을 다해달라"고 촉구했다.이용우 민주당 대변인도 이날 국회에서 브리핑을 열어 "장 대표의 1년은 민심과 함께하는 보수의 새 길은 없고 윤어게인 뿐이었다"고 평가 절하했다.이 대변인은 장 대표의 취임 1주년 기자회견문을 거론하며 "장 대표가 '국민 속으로 들어가 민심과 함께하는 보수의 새 길을 찾겠다'고 공언했는데 지난 1년간 장 대표의 행보는 민심과 거리가 멀었다. 장 대표가 서 있던 곳은 민생의 현장이 아닌 부정선거 음모론이 판치는 현장이었다"고 지적했다.이어 "‘이재명 정부에게 내란 몰이를 당했다'고 말했지만, 실제로는 윤어게인을 선언하며 내란을 옹호했고 보수 쇄신은커녕 극우 세력과 밀착했다"며 "장 대표가 그토록 요구했던 잠실 올림픽공원 투표소 재검표 역시 국민의힘의 몽니로 하염없이 미뤄지고 있다"고 꼬집었다.그러면서 "1년 간 국민의 삶을 챙기기보다는 정치적 갈등과 음모론에 매달리는 모습만 반복적으로 보여줘 국민을 대표해야 하는 공당은 증발했고, 징계와 줄세우기를 통한 '장동혁 사당만 남았다"며 "국회 안에서 민생을 논의하고 대안을 모색하는 책임있는 자세를 촉구한다"고 목소리를 높였다.앞서 장 대표는 이날 오전 서울 여의도 국민의힘 중앙당사에서 취임 1주년 회견을 열고 "이재명 정권이 대한민국을 무너뜨리도록 그냥 놓아둬선 안 된다"며 "2028년 총선에서 과반 승리를 거둬야 한다. 반드시 정권을 탈환해야 한다"고 강조했다.장 대표는 "지금 대한민국은 독재의 마지막 문턱에 있다"면서 "이재명 독재의 문을 열 재판 취소와 연임 개헌 시도를 국민과 함께 반드시 막아내겠다"고 덧붙였다.。

For residents of East China's Shandong Province, however, green beans have never been a miracle diet food or an internet meme. Instead, they are an unmistakable sign that summer has arrived — and, for many families, the beginning of weeks of eating them, giving them away and wondering how on earth there are still more waiting to be picked.
The season of endless beans
For Zhao Qian, a Shandong native, summer has always had a familiar color: green.
"When I was little, the moment different bean dishes started appearing on the table day after day, I knew summer had arrived," Zhao told the Global Times. "No matter how many we ate, there were always more. It was as if the vines kept producing beans overnight."
A Chinese saying goes, "Eating beans in summer is better than eating meat." Heat-loving green beans have been cultivated in China for more than one thousand years. Originally introduced from abroad, they gradually found a permanent place on Chinese dining tables thanks to their versatility, nutritional value and ability to fill hungry stomachs, according to an article published by People.cn.
Today, with the rise of greenhouse farming and an increasingly sophisticated cold-chain logistics network, fresh vegetables are available year-round across China. The old rule of eating produce only in season has largely given way to year-round abundance. Yet in Shandong, China's largest vegetable-producing province, green beans remain inseparable from summer. More than an endless seasonal harvest, they have become the taste of home for generations of locals.
One of Zhao's strongest childhood memories wasn't eating the beans, but preparing them.
"Every summer, the adults would hand me a basin full of freshly picked beans and ask me to strip off the tough strings along both sides," she recalled. "I'd sit on a little stool and work through the whole pile. It looked like an easy job, but after peeling bean after bean, my fingertips would start to hurt. By the time I finished one basin, there was always another one waiting."
For many families in Shandong, summer means an endless cycle of picking, eating and sharing green beans. In vegetable gardens, rows of trellises are soon covered in climbing vines. When the peak harvest season arrives, the beans need to be picked almost every day before they become old and fibrous. Those that cannot be finished at home are packed into bags and given to relatives, neighbors and friends.
"Your family has beans, and so does mine, but we still give them to each other," Cao Yu, a Shandong native who grew up on the Jiaodong Peninsula in East China, told the Global Times on Wednesday with a laugh.
A plentiful harvest also brings what locals jokingly call "bean freedom" to the dinner table. Sesame-dressed beans, braised beans with pork ribs and, above all, bean-filled steamed buns — a dish mentioned by almost every Shandong native interviewed by the Global Times. For many people, these dishes are no longer simply seasonal food, but the familiar taste of summer, family and hometown.
The hands that harvest summer
Behind the seemingly endless harvest is another busy summer ritual — picking. For many elderly farmers, harvesting green beans means spending hours each day moving from one trellis to another, reaching through dense vines and picking bean after bean by hand.
A nail salon in Jining, Shandong Province, recently went viral after offering free "bean-picking manicures" to residents aged 60 and above. Instead of fashionable designs or glittering decorations, the salon applies thicker, longer nail extensions that make it easier to pinch and snap off the beans while protecting fingertips from pain. A coat of colored polish is added simply to help conceal stains left by vegetable sap, according to video clips circulating on Chinese social media platforms Douyin and Sina Weibo.
The salon owner, herself the daughter of farmers, said thumb injuries and damaged fingernails are common during the bean-picking process. In videos posted on her Douyin account, many elderly women said the manicures made picking beans much easier. Even more amusingly, some older men initially refused to get a manicure, only to change their minds after hearing enthusiastic recommendations from the "grandmas' group."
For perhaps the first time, beauty took a back seat to practicality, and a manicure became another way of caring for hardworking hands.
While the internet continues to joke about undercooked beans as a shortcut to weight loss, doctors stress there is nothing amusing about eating them raw. Liang Jiajing, a clinical nutritionist at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, said raw or undercooked beans contain naturally occurring toxins that can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, but the toxins are destroyed through thorough cooking, according to a Jimu News report.
The internet may remember green beans as the latest viral "weight-loss hack." In Shandong, however, they tell very different stories — one of overflowing harvests, bags of beans exchanged between neighbors, family recipes passed down through generations, and hardworking hands that quietly bring the harvest to the table. Long after the online jokes fade, the taste of summer — and of home — remains.
