In my research, I found two combinatorial identities. Mathematica can give the answers immediately, but I don't know how to prove them. Could someone help me? Thank you!


Here are they:


Let $\alpha$, $\beta$ be two arbitrary complex numbers, and $k$, $l$ be two positive integers, then:


\begin{align\*}
\sum\_{m=1}^k m \binom{\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\beta}k}{k-m}\binom{\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\beta}l}{l+m}
=&\frac{\alpha\,k\,l}{(k+l)(\alpha+\beta)}\binom{\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\beta}k}{k}\binom{\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\beta}l}{l}\\
\sum\_{m=1}^k m \binom{\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\beta}k}{k-m}\binom{\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\alpha}l}{l-m}
=&\frac{\alpha\,\beta\,k\,l}{(k\,\alpha+l\,\beta)(\alpha+\beta)}\binom{\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\beta}k}{k}\binom{\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\alpha}l}{l}
\end{align\*}


Actually, the positive integer $l$ can be also a complex number. Then, if one replaces $\frac{\alpha}{\beta}l$ by $\tilde{l}$ in the first identity, it becomes equivalent to the second identity. Besides this observation, I can only prove some trivial cases.



Two combinatorial identities
At first, I reformulate your identity (the first identity, the second is the same up to change of variables, as you note in the post). 


Denote $(\alpha+\beta)/\beta=\lambda$ and divide both parts by $\binom{\lambda k}k \binom{\lambda l}l$. We get an equivalent identity 
$$
\sum\_{m=0}^k m\frac{k(k-1)\dots (k-m+1)\cdot (\lambda l-l)\dots (\lambda l-l-m+1)}{(\lambda k-k+1)\dots (\lambda k-k+m)(l+1)\dots(l+m)}=\left(1-\frac1{\lambda}\right)\frac{kl}{k+l}.
$$
Denote $\lambda k-k=x$, then $\lambda l-l=xl/k$, $\left(1-\frac1{\lambda}\right)\frac{kl}{k+l}=\frac{kxl}{(k+l)(k+x)}$ and we rewrite your identity as
$$
\sum\_{m=0}^km\frac{\binom{k}m\binom{xl/k}m}{\binom{-l-1}m\binom{-x-1}m}=\frac{kxl}{(k+l)(k+x)}.
$$
Both parts are rational functions in $x$, $l$. The more general hypergeometric identity is
$$
\sum\_{m=0}^\infty m \frac{\binom{AB}m\binom{CD}m}{\binom{AD-1}m\binom{BC-1}m}=\frac{ABCD}{(A-C)(B-D)}
$$
whenever LHS is well-defined, our case correspond to $A=-1,B=-k,C=x/k,D=l$.


**UPDATE** I proved it with the help of Wolframalpha. This is simply telescoping (here $z$ is old $k$ and $y$ is old $l$):
$$m\frac{\binom{z}{m}\binom{xy/z}{m}}
{\binom{-x-1}m \binom{-y - 1}{ m}}=h(m-1)-h(m),\\
h(m):=\frac{z(m+x+1)(m+y+1)}{(z+x)(z+y)}\cdot \frac{\binom{z}{m+1}\binom{xy/z}{m+1}}{\binom{-x-1}{m+1}\binom{-y-1}{m+1}}.$$
