一 |     故事梗概：颜颜是个充满好奇心，爱冒险的女孩，原本是高校的老师，机缘巧合离开中国来到新加坡工作。    Russian Minister of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev weighed in on the issue of global food security on Friday, warning that a crisis of planetary proportions is taking shape.,“The situation in global markets is difficult, especially for wheat. This season, due to a number of factors, including drought in the US and Europe, floods in Australia and bad weather in India, the global supply of milling wheat will drop. Also, due to climate anomalies, a decrease in the quality of wheat in North America is expected, first and foremost in the United States. All of this, together with logistical restrictions, could lead to serious risks in terms of global food security in the current agricultural year,” Patrushev said, speaking to ministry officials in Bashkiria.,Patrushev updated officials on the state of Russia’s harvesting campaign, saying about 27 percent of the fields have been cultivated, with 55 million tons of grain collected – a good indicator, but far below yields shown a year ago, thanks to a cold spring, poor weather and problems with obtaining parts for foreign-made agricultural equipment.,“Altogether, this creates risks in terms of achieving [the planned] grain harvest of 130 million tons. Of course, we will fully provide for the domestic market, there will not be any problems with this. However, if the planned volumes are not reached, we will have to revise our export target of 50 million tons, and this may have a negative impact on the world grain market,” the minister warned.,Russian Agriculture Ministry Warns of Risks to Global Food Security in Current Crop Year 5 August, 09:08 GMT,Sanctions Food for Thought,The United States and Europe got a rude awakening in the spring when the nations of the Global South refused to join them in slapping sanctions on Russia after it kicked off its special military operation in Ukraine. While the US, Canada, the UK, the European Union, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand drafted thousands upon thousands of new restrictions against Moscow, not a single country in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, or non-US allied East Asia has joined them so far.,The developing world’s quest for food security, and Russia’s status as a major global exporter of both grains and fertilizers, is undoubtedly an important factor in calculations made by regional leaders when it comes to sanctions.,At the same time, the Global South has not been spared the consequences of the West’s secondary restrictions. African Union chief and Senegalese President Macky Sall outlined the scope of the problem in June, telling Russian President Vladimir Putin that sanctions had “aggravated the situation with the supply of grains and fertilizers to African countries,” and sparked “a serious threat to food security” for the continent.,AfricaAnti-Russia Sanctions Left Africa Without Access to Grain and Fertilisers, African Union Chief Says3 June, 11:13 GMT,Notwithstanding concerns about global food security going back to the COVID crisis of 2020 and 2021, which wreaked havoc on supply chains and aggravated economic pain across much of the developing world, the US and its allies unflinchingly and nearly instantaneously slapped agriculture- and fertilizer-related sanctions on Russia and its ally, Belarus, in February and March of 2022.,Oleg Kobiakov, director of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s Russian liaison office, recently revealed that his agency estimates that some 828 million people were suffering from hunger at the end of 2021, with their numbers increasing by some 150 million people compared to the pre-COVID year 2019. Amid the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis and Western sanctions, Kobiakov stressed the importance of the FAO-proposed international fund to support the export of food, fertilizers, and energy to assist developing countries, particularly in Africa.,Western Sanctions, Global Consequences,The sanctions slapped on Russia in the spring of 2022, which included direct restrictions on food and fertilizer exports, plus efforts to limit Russia’s trade in agricultural commodities with third countries via so-called secondary sanctions on cargo ships or insurance providers, have already had a noticeable impact on food security, not only in the Global South, but the very heart of the so-called "First World" as well.,Earlier this year, German media sounded the alarm after calculating that the country’s farmers stand to lose some three million tons of agricultural output thanks to sanctions. In June, Bild reported that nearly one in six Germans is forced to skip meals thanks to out-of-control hikes in food prices.,In neighboring Poland, local media reported this week that Ukrainian wheat supplies flooding into the country were causing a “catastrophic” dampening of prices for domestic producers. “If the situation doesn’t improve, there will be riots in the countryside!” a farmer in Plonsk told a Wyborcza correspondent.,In Italy, the National Institute of Statistics has reported a double-digit jump in prices for flour and pasta, with prices for the staple components of Italian cooking growing between 18 and 21.5 percent year-on-year in July, and the cost of cooking oil spiking by a whopping 66 percent.,RussiaLIVE UPDATES: First Bulker With Ukrainian Grain Reaches Istanbul2 August, 05:00 GMT,Food insecure regions of the planet have fared even worse. According to a recent estimate by international aid agency Mercy Corps, flour prices in Lebanon, which depends on Russia and Ukraine for over 80 percent of its wheat flower needs, have jumped over 200 percent since the escalation of the Ukraine crisis.,For many countries, the Ukrainian emergency has only served to exacerbate an array of already existing problems. In Morocco, for example, Agriculture Minister Mohammed Sadiki reported in the spring that the country expects to lose up to 53 percent of its grain harvest this year due to the worst drought of the decade. The Horn of Africa faces similar worries amid the worst regional drought in 40 years. In Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya, over 18 million people face hunger, and British charitable group Oxfam International fears that as many as 350,000 children could die from malnutrition this year in Somalia alone.,Earlier this year, the UN’s Refugee Agency calculated that the numbers of people forced to flee their homes in search of a better life had reached its highest-ever recorded number, with food scarcity, inflation, and the climate crisis adding to existing hardships and stretching humanitarian resources to the breaking point. According to the World Food Program, the number of people suffering from hunger could increase by 30-50 million people, with the poorest countries of Africa including Somalia, Sudan, the Central African Republic, Chad, and Congo expected to be hit hardest.,RussiaFighting Africa's Food Crisis: Russia Strengthening Ties and Stretching Helping Hand to Kenya3 August, 10:08 GMT,In June, the WFP warned that in Latin America too, food inflation is threatening to cause a migration wave of Biblical proportions amid calculations that some 14 million people across 13 countries are threatened with “extreme” food insecurity – up from 8.3 million in late 2021, if the current crisis continues.,“All of you are watching caravans, caravans of migrants moving, and before we used to talk about migration from the north of Central America, but now, unfortunately, we talk about migration being hemispheric. We have the whole continent on the move,” WEF Latin America and the Caribbean region coordinator Lola Castro told reporters.,Good for the Goose, But Not the Gander?,Last month, on the heels of the signing of the Russia-Ukraine-UN grain deal, the US Treasury reversed course on a number of food and fertilizer sanctions directives, “clarifying” in a fact sheet that it would no longer threaten secondary restrictions for the purchase or transport of Russian agricultural commodities. For the domestic market, Washington quietly eased restrictions on Russian agricultural products, including fertilizers, back in March, after the domestic farming lobby warned of out-of-control price hikes and possible food shortages.,Brussels, which joined Washington in slapping tough restrictions on Moscow in the spring, did not follow suit in easing them until late last month, after the damage to domestic and international markets had already been done.,WorldEU Reportedly Set to Unfreeze Some Russian Bank Funds for Food, Fertilizer Trade19 July, 10:26 GMT,Biden administration National Economic Council director Brian Deese raised eyebrows late last month when he boasted that compared to the rest of the world, the United States is in a better position to weather the global food security crisis.,“With respect to food, we’re a net exporter of agricultural commodities. Obviously the high prices are hitting Americans very hard, but in a way that is different from some places that are facing famine for example,” Deese said.,Biden economic advisor Brian Deese says the U.S. is doing better economically than other countries because we’re not in a “famine” pic.twitter.com/2JwO7YneOI— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) July 27, 2022,Biden’s detractors blasted the White House over Deese’s comments, suggesting it was absurd to lower the bar on the administration’s economic performance to the point where it was bragging that "at least the US isn’t facing famine." However, in the broader scheme of things, and amid the global food security crisis artificially exacerbated by Washington and its allies using sanctions, Deese isn’t wrong, with other countries, including many of the US’ allies, suffering much more.,Quo Vadis?,Serbia, home to the so-called “Balkan route” for migration during the 2015 European migrant crisis, has recently reported a major uptick in immigration amid the global food crisis.,On July 20, Serbian Commissioner for Refugees and Migration Vladimir Cucic indicated that the number of migrants traveling through Serbia had jumped 55 percent in 2022, with the number of people from Africa, Asia and the Middle East using the country as a transit state reaching 68,000, and expected to hit 100,000 before the end of the year. Cucic is confident that the global food crisis is directly responsible for the migration uptick, which he said has hit Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, parts of India and other Asian nations hardest.,“Hunger is forcing more and more people to move on out. You’re not going to wait and see how your children die from hunger, you will give them everything you have and tell them "get out of here!’” the official stressed.,UK Home Office Fails to Handle Increased Flow of Migrants Via English Channel21 July, 18:30 GMT,Food scarcity has been a factor driving revolutions, coups, wars, and civil unrest throughout human history, and has been used expertly by foreign manipulators to spark crises and institute regime change throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries. Food insecurity was a critical factor in the so-called "Arab Spring" unrest which swept across the Middle East and North Africa in early 2010. That crisis, together with the US and NATO military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, helped spark the 2015 European migrant wave, which saw more than 1.3 million people making their way to the continent, sparking mass unrest and a host of other social ills and problems in the countries that were made to accept the newcomers.,Observers fear that the second time around, the situation could prove far more explosive.,“Europe is not prepared morally, technically, or politically to accept additional refugees. They already overstrained themselves with the Syrian crisis,” Elena Suponina, an advisor to the director of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies and expert at the Russian International Affairs Council think tank, told Sputnik in an interview.,The West, Suponina believes, is not ready to “save” people from Africa and Asia in the event of a global food crisis which she says has been manufactured by the United States.,“The United States has always been interested in limiting the strength of the European economies. Besides being partners, they are also competitors. The US has always kept in mind that Europe is first and foremost a competitor,” the expert stressed.,Tiberio Graziani, chairman of Vision & Global Trends - an Italy-based international affairs think tank, echoed Suponina's concerns, suggesting that Europe is "by no means ready to handle new potential waves of migrants," and still reeling from the consequences of the 2015 crisis. At the same time, he said, hunger has been a "recurring theme" in a world dominated by the West and its political and economic systems of governance.,"The food crisis is mainly due to the predatory policies carried out - in recent decades - by the so-called Western system in the different corners of the world. The hyper-liberal-democratic policies of the West have favoured the large globalist interest groups which, similarly to the colonial past of the nineteenth century, have deconstructed the various economic-productive fabrics of many areas of the planet, producing misery and dependence. The sophisticated technology that could help the fate of millions of people, since in the hands of large producers, often tied to financial interests, has instead, paradoxically, exacerbated the problem. Non-state organizations such as the UN, beyond good speeches, have failed to find adequate solutions to the problem. The world as a whole could find solutions - to this challenge, as well as to others - only if world power were more evenly distributed. Only a new multipolar system that adopts - in both economic and political international issues - a solidarity and cooperative practice, antithetical to current hyperliberism, could save us. It can be noted that some initiatives taken by the BRICS countries are moving in this direction," Graziani stressed.,The academic also agreed with Suponina's analysis of Washington's interest in the current crisis.,"The interest of the United States is to maintain global hegemony. This can also involve the sacrifice of nations such as Ukraine or the Old Continent: in the context of the North American strategy, these would be 'side effects'. The internal situation of the EU would worsen further: Europe as a whole would become even weaker and more dependent on the US than it currently is," Graziani concluded.。

二 | 整部小说以颜颜为主线讲述四个中国女孩在新加坡的遭遇。你想了解最接地气的新加坡生活吗？这部连载故事将会带给你答案。本篇文章是《新加坡的周末游圣淘沙，烟花、烧烤…超浪漫的》的后续。

三 | 艾米联系了Tony和Eric。

四 | Eric说已经约了朋友周末去柔佛新山，所以只有Tony能来。艾米已经离开公司了，雪莉最后终于招到一个新加坡女孩Dora。希望这次能做久一点，颜颜听到雪莉在自言自语。Dora是广东人，个子很矮小，眼睛大大的剪着短发，每天喜欢提一个小公文包。“是我老公给我的。

五 | ”Dora好像刚刚结婚，还沉浸在新婚的喜悦当中。“哪天有空，我请你和安妮到我家去玩，我教你做我们广东的三色蛋哈。

六 | ”Dora性格很开朗，加上每天搭同方向的班车，很快就和颜颜她们熟悉起来。

七 | 淡滨尼那场工已经开始了，因为有主承包商那边迈克的耐心帮助，公司里的Tony也很配合，一切还算顺利。“等这场工结束，我一定要好好请你吃一顿饭。我有这么多问题，我有时候问得自己都不好意思了。”说完工作上的事，颜颜对迈克说道。

八 | “没关系，没关系。尽管问我好了。我刚来的时候也这样的。这边的图纸比国内的细很多。

九 | ”迈克还是一口醇厚的标准普通话。迈克告诉颜颜，他大学毕业后在国内的设计院工作不到一年就来新加坡了，已经快5年时间。怪不得英文说得那么好，而且是地道的新加坡英文。

十 | “我还没有拿到绿卡，公司巳经帮我申请三次了，而且我每次去移民厅，见到的居然是同一个官员，拒绝信也是他的签名。可能他觉得我本科学校不太好。你呢？你的学校应该好申请的。”迈克在电话那头说。“我才来没多久，而且我们公司老板要等三年合约满了才签字。”“这样啊？我们公司倒是希望我们这几个中国的建筑师早点拿到绿卡。

十一 | 希望下次在移民厅不要再碰到前面那个官员了。

十二 | ”迈克告诉颜颏和他一起进公司的另一个北京男孩已拿到绿卡，而他负责颜颜公司的另一场工。“他的那场工好像快结束了，他最近应该会去你们公司的。”“哦，那场工可能是阿林负责的。

十三 | ”放工吋间到了，颜颜今天手头上的工作已全部做完，她收拾好东西早早就下了楼。Cn莫还在那逗着那条大黄狗。看到颜颜下来，他笑着对颜颜说：“今天怎么穿着水晶鞋啊，要去见王子吗？”颜颜看了看自己脚上的彩色半透明塑料高跟凉鞋，这个还是临出国前俊儿陪她去买的。“这是从中国带过来的。”颜颜对Cn莫说。“中国的东西就是漂亮，等有机会我一定要去中国看看。”颜颜这才知道Cn莫还没有去过中国。

十四 | 怪不得他上次居然问中国有没有电热水壶，因为新加坡商场里售卖的家用小电器大都是日本和韩国制造的。“对了颜颜，中元节马上到了。中国过不过中元节？”Cn莫又问。“我记得在中国，农历7月15这天，住在乡下的人家会给家中故去的人烧纸钱。多数人家这天晚上是不允许家里的小孩子出门的，而是早早就闭门休息了。日本的盂兰盆节好像也是以这天为中心的3天左右。

十五 | ”颜颜答。“我们新加坡是整个农历七月都是中元节，很热闹的。到时候你就知道了。一般庙宇附近会举办大型宴会，如果有人请你去吃的话，中间那桌干万不要去坐。另外组屋楼下有歌台演岀，记住第一排贴着金银纸的座位也不能坐的，那都是留给好兄弟的。”Cn莫顿了顿又接着说：“我最喜欢的是标福物。我去年标了一个发财炉供在家里，后来买4D中了好几次，很灵的…”下了公司班车，颜颜发现组屋楼下的空地上果然开始在搭舞台，旁边的草地上还用铝合金框架搭了一些临时的大棚，下面则是木板铺的临时地面。

十六 | “中元节来了，会很吵的。”孙唯对颜颜说。接下来的这个月颜颜见识了什么叫热闹。

十七 | 每天晚上都有不同的组合在歌台上表演，主持人在台上插科打诨，歌手唱的大多是流行歌曲，甚至还有钢管舞，台上载歌载舞的好不热闹。

十八 | 偶尔有一两天唱的是颜颜听不懂的福建戏，或广东戏。下面观众席第一排的座位果然没有人去坐。颜颜还碰到了好几个从中国过来的歌手。“每年过来一趟，收入还是不错的。”其中一个歌手对颜颜说。颜颜比较喜欢去看标福物。各种福物玲琅满目，有发财树、金银山、旺梨等。甚至有水晶矿石。她好佩服那个喊标的人。这“喊标”可真是个技术活。喊标人不仅声音洪亮，还很会活跃气氛，掌控节奏。他的华语、福建话、广东话、英语、马来话完全自由切换，看到有印度同胞来，还冷不防来上几句淡米尔语。

十九 | “太厉害了！”颜颜对孙唯说。“这里大部分华人都会几种语言啊。”孙唯好像并没有觉得意外。其间有公司客户请颜颜和孙唯去参加寺庙里举办的中元会。因为有上次不愉快的经历，颜颜有些犹豫。“这个客户人很好的，他每年都会花很多钱去标福物，因为这些标福物的钱最后大都是捐给慈善组织的。”孙唯说。颜颜最后按捺不住心中的好奇去赴了宴，她发现除了一些祭拜仪式，整个宴会就像是好朋友之间一年一度的大聚会。CY丨编辑CH丨编审开荣南洋丨来源简玛丨作者。
