Kua 23 tau a Nancy, te rangatira o tā mātou kamupene, e whai wāhi ana ki te Canton Fair, mai i te wahine taitamariki ki te rangatira pakeke, mai i te kotahi wāhanga o te Fair e 15 ngā rā katoa ki te toru wāhanga o nāianei, e 5 ngā rā i ia wāhanga. Ka kite mātou i ngā huringa o te Canton Fair, ā, ka kite hoki i tō mātou ake tipu.
Engari i horapa haere ngā mate urutā coronavirus puta noa i te ao, ā, i puta ai ngā panonitanga nui i roto i ngā mea katoa i te tau 2020. Nā te mate urutā COVID-19, i akiakihia mātou ki te whai wāhi atu ki te Canton Fair hou kua whakawhanakehia. Ka taea noa e mātou te tū atu ki te mata makariri me te kore he ataata mahana mai i ō mātou kiritaki tawhito kanohi ki te kanohi.
Hei urutau ki tēnei huringa me tēnei ia hou, i tukuna e mātou ngā whakaahua o ngā hua me ngā whakaahuatanga taipitopito ki te paetukutuku mana o te Online Canton Fair; i hokona e mātou ngā taputapu e tika ana mō te whakapāho ora ipurangi; i whakaritea e mātou te tuhinga mō te whakaharatau, ā, i whakapai ake i te tuhinga mō te whakaaturanga ipurangi whakamutunga. I ngā tau e rua kua pahure ake nei, kua taunga haere mātou ki te Online Canton Fair.
Ahakoa rā, kāore mātou e wareware ki te wāhi i whai wāhi atu ai mātou ki te Canton Fair o mua: te tūtaki ki ō mātou kiritaki; te kōrero tahi pērā i te whānau; te kōrero mō ētahi pakihi; te taunaki i ētahi hua hou, i ngā taonga hokohoko hou rānei; te powhiri poroporoaki me te tumanako ki tō mātou huihuinga e whai ake nei.
Ahakoa kei te mārama tonu ngā tirohanga harikoa o mua i roto i ō tātou hinengaro, hei kaihokohoko o tāwāhi, me arotahi tātou ki te ao o nāianei, me titiro ki te ao kei te heke mai. E whā ngā momo tāngata o te ao: ko te hunga e tuku ana i ngā mea kia tupu, ko te hunga e tuku ana i ngā mea kia tupu, ko te hunga e mātakitaki ana i ngā mea kia tupu, me te hunga kāore e mōhio ana kua tupu ngā mea. Me noho tātou hei momo tāngata tuatahi, kaua e tatari kia tupu, kia pā mai rānei ngā mea ki a tātou, engari me whakaatu he whakaaro matatau kia huri ai, kia huri ai i mua.
He nui te pānga o te mate urutā ki tō tātou oranga me te pakihi i ngā tau e rua kua pahure ake nei. Engari e ako ana hoki i a tātou ki te ako, ki te huri, ki te tipu, ki te kaha.
Kei konei mātou, arohaina tō waewae, tiakina hoki tō hu. Tukua mātou hei whakangungu rakau mō tō waewae me tō hu.
