Tekau mā whā tau ki muri, i uiuitia a Ye Wenhan e te Shanghai Daily i tana whare taonga iti tūmataiti i Pushan Road. Nō nā tata nei ahau i hoki mai ai ki te toro atu, ā, i kitea kua kati te whare taonga. I kōrerotia mai ki ahau kua mate te kaikohi kaumātua i ngā tau e rua ki muri.
Kei te kāinga tonu te kohinga taonga a tana tamāhine, a Ye Feiyan, e 53 tau te pakeke. I whakamārama ia ka whakahoroa te wāhi taketake o te whare taonga nā te mea ka hangaia anōtia te tāone.
I mua, i iri te tohu o te kura ki te pakitara o tētahi whare taonga tūmataiti, e whakaatu ana i te hītori me te pepeha o ngā kura puta noa i Haina ki ngā manuhiri.
He rerekē ngā āhua o ēnei mai i te kura tuatahi ki te whare wānanga: he tapatoru, he tapawhā rite, he tapawhā rite, he porowhita me he taimana. He mea hanga ēnei mai i te hiriwa, te koura, te parahi, te enamel, te kirihou, te papanga, te pepa rānei.
Ka taea te whakarōpū i ngā tohu i runga i te āhua o te mau. Ko ētahi he mea whakapiripiri, ko ētahi he mea pine, ko ētahi he mea here ki ngā pātene, ā, ko ētahi he mea whakairi ki ngā kākahu, ki ngā pōtae rānei.
I kī a Ye Wenhan nāna i kohi ngā tohu o ngā kawanatanga katoa o Haina engari ko Qinghai me te Rohe Mana Motuhake o Tibet.
"Ko te kura te wāhi tino pai ki ahau i te ao," te kī a Ye i roto i tētahi uiuinga i mua i tōna matenga. "Ko te kohikohi i ngā tohu kura he huarahi hei whakatata atu ki te kura."
I whānau mai i Shanghai i te tau 1931. I mua i tōna whānautanga, i neke tōna matua ki Shanghai mai i te Porowini o Guangdong i te tonga o Haina ki te ārahi i te hanganga o te Toa Hokohoko o Yong'an. I whiwhi a Ye Wenhan i te mātauranga pai rawa atu i a ia e tamariki ana.
I te rima noa o ōna tau, i haere tahi a Ye me tōna matua ki ngā mākete taonga tawhito ki te rapu i ngā whakapaipai huna. Nā tēnei wheako i awe ia, ka tipu ake tōna hiahia ki te kohikohi taonga tawhito. Engari, he rerekē ki tōna matua, he tangata e aroha ana ki ngā tā me ngā moni tawhito, ko te kohinga a Mr Yeh e aro ana ki ngā tohu kura.
I ahu mai āna kaupapa tuatahi i te Kura Tuatahi o Xunguang, te wāhi i ako ai ia. I muri i tana whakatutukitanga i te kura tuarua, i haere tonu a Ye ki te ako i te reo Pākehā, te kaute, te tatauranga, me te whakaahua i ētahi kura mahi.
Nō muri mai ka tīmata a Ye ki te mahi ture, ā, ka whiwhi tohu ia hei kaitohutohu ture ngaio. I whakatuwherahia e ia tētahi tari hei whakarato tohutohu ture kore utu ki te hunga e hiahia ana.
"He tangata tohe, he tangata ngākau nui, he tangata haepapa hoki tōku pāpā," te kī a tana tamāhine a Ye Feiyan. "I ahau e tamariki ana, he ngoikore taku konupūmā. E rua ngā pēke hikareti a tōku pāpā i te rā, ā, ka mutu tana mahi kia taea ai e ia te hoko mai i ngā papa konupūmā māku."
I te marama o Poutū-te-rangi 1980, i whakapau a Ye Wenhan i te 10 yuan (1.5 tāra US) hei hoko i tētahi tohu hiriwa kura o Te Whare Wānanga o Tongji, ā, koinei te tīmatanga o tana kohinga taonga nui.
Ko te tohu tapatoru whakahurihuri he momo āhua noa iho nō te wā o te Repupiripia o Haina (1912–1949). Ina tirohia mai i te kokonga matau o runga, ko ngā kokonga e toru e tohu ana i te atawhai, te whakaaro nui me te maia.
He kohinga toi tawhito anō hoki te tohu o Te Whare Wānanga o Peking o te tau 1924. Nā Lu Xun i tuhi, he tino tangata rongonui i roto i ngā tuhinga Hainamana hou, ā, ko te nama "105" te ingoa.
I ahu mai te tohu parahi, neke atu i te 18 henimita te whānui, i te National Institute of Education, ā, i hangaia i te tau 1949. Koinei te tohu nui rawa atu i roto i tana kohinga. Nō Hapani te mea iti rawa, ā, he 1 henimita te whānui.
"Tirohia tēnei tohu kura," te kī a Ye Feiyan me te harikoa. "Kua whakanohoia he taimana ki runga."
Kei waenganui o te tohu papatahi o te kura rererangi tēnei kohatu rūpahu.
I roto i tēnei moana o ngā tohu, ka kitea te tohu hiriwa waru-ā-toru. Nō tētahi kura kōtiro i te kawanatanga o Liaoning i te raki-mā-rāwhiti o Haina te tohu nui. Kua whakairohia te tohu kura ki te pepeha tekau mā ono ngā pūāhua a Confucius, arā, ko Ngā Analects a Confucius, e whakatūpato ana i ngā ākonga kia kaua e titiro, e whakarongo, e kōrero, e mahi rānei i tētahi mea e takahi ana i te matatika.
I kī a Ye, i whakaarohia e tōna pāpā ko tētahi o ana tohu tino taonga ko te mowhiti i whakawhiwhia ki tana hunaonga i tana putanga mai i Te Whare Wānanga o Hato Hoani i Shanghai. I whakatūria i te tau 1879 e ngā mihinare o Amerika, ko tētahi o ngā whare wānanga tino rongonui o Haina tae noa ki tōna katinga i te tau 1952.
Ko ngā tohu he mowhiti kua whakairohia ki te pepeha o te kura Ingarihi "Mārama me te Pono" ka tukuna mō ngā tau e rua anake, nō reira he tino onge. I mau te taokete-i-te-ture o Ye i te mowhiti i ia rā, ā, i hoatu ki a Ye i mua i tōna matenga.
"He pono, kāore au i te mārama ki te hiahia nui o tōku pāpā ki te tohu kura," te kī a tana tamāhine. "I muri i tōna matenga, i tangohia e au te kawenga mō te kohinga, ā, ka tīmata ahau ki te maioha ki āna mahi i taku kitenga he kōrero tō ia tohu kura."
I tāpiri atu ia ki tāna kohinga mā te rapu tohu mai i ngā kura o tāwāhi, me te tono atu ki ngā whanaunga e noho ana i tāwāhi kia titiro matatau ki ngā taonga whakamere. I a ia e haere ana ki tāwāhi, ka toro atu ia ki ngā mākete puruhi o te rohe me ngā whare wānanga rongonui hei whakanui ake i tana kohinga.
"Ko taku wawata nui kia kitea anō he wāhi hei whakaatu i ngā taonga a tōku pāpā i tētahi rā."
