He roa, he uaua te ara o te mahi kaipakihi, kua waihangahia e Wangyuan tā mātou ake kōrero. Ko te 26 o Oketopa, 2021 he wā hītori nui mō mātou katoa o Wangyuan – Ko te whakanui i te 20 tau o te whakatūnga o te kamupene, ā, e tino whakahīhī ana mātou ki tēnā.
He nui te hari i tae mai ai ngā hoa mahi, ngā manuhiri me ngā hoa ki te whakanui i tēnei huihuinga ataahua, e kore nei e warewaretia.
I waenganui i te tau 2001 me te tau 2021, mai i te whanaketanga o te kamupene torutoru tāngata ki te hinonga hangarau matatau, he nui rawa te whakapau kaha, ā, kua pāngia hoki e ngā raruraru. Ināianei ka haere tonu mātou me koutou ki te mahi kaha pērā i ngā wā o mua, ki te whai i tētahi heke mai pai ake. 20 tau, he wā roa tēnei mō te tangata. Engari, e tere ana te wā ina koa koe! 20 tau o te mahi kaha, 20 tau o te noho tahi, 20 tau o te whakawhirinaki, 20 tau o te tiritiri, ā, koinei ngā mea i āwhina i a tātou ki te whakatutuki i te Wangyuan o nāianei. He 20 tau whakamiharo!
He maha ngā hoa mahi i whaikōrero i taua rā, tō mātou kaiwhakahaere, te māngai o ia tari me ō mātou manuhiri. He maha ngā kōrero i kōrerotia e rātou mō te kotahitanga, te pakanga, te mahi tahi me Wangyuan. I te wā i whakatangihia ai te rangi waiata ataahua i te whare hakari whakanui, ka panaia te keke ki runga i te atamira. I tae mai te kaiwhakaū o te kamupene Wangyuan – a Mr. Chen Limei – ki te atamira, ka tapahi i te keke, ā, ka mihi atu ki a Wangyuan kia 20 tau i tēnei rā motuhake! He pō whakamiharo tā mātou me te keke reka.
E 20 tau te roa, ehara i te mutunga mō mātou, engari he tīmatanga hou. He tīma pumau, pono hoki tō mātou, he kaha hangarau tō mātou, ā, he maha hoki ō mātou hoa mahi tahi me ō mātou hoa. He nui tō mātou māia ki te whakawhanake i tā mātou kamupene tino pai kia pai ake ai te hinonga.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou mō ō koutou tautoko me ō koutou whakawhirinakitanga i ngā wā o mua, me te tumanako ka roa ake tā tātou mahi tahi i ngā tau e haere ake nei!
