Eminyakeni eyishumi nane edlule, iphephandaba iShanghai Daily laxoxa noYe Wenhan emnyuziyamu wakhe omncane ozimele ePushan Road. Muva nje ngibuyile ukuzovakasha futhi ngathola ukuthi imnyuziyamu ivaliwe. Ngatshelwa ukuthi umqoqi osekhulile ushone eminyakeni emibili edlule.
Indodakazi yakhe eneminyaka engu-53 ubudala uYe Feiyan igcina iqoqo ekhaya. Ichaze ukuthi indawo yokuqala yomnyuziyamu izobhidlizwa ngenxa yokuthuthukiswa kabusha kwedolobha.
Ilogo yesikole yake yalengiswa odongeni lomnyuziyamu ozimele, ikhombisa izivakashi umlando kanye nesiqubulo sezikole kulo lonke elaseShayina.
Ziza ngezimo ezahlukene kusukela esikoleni samabanga aphansi kuya eyunivesithi: onxantathu, onxande, izikwele, izindilinga namadayimane. Zenziwe ngesiliva, igolide, ithusi, i-enamel, ipulasitiki, indwangu noma iphepha.
Amabheji angahlukaniswa ngokwendlela agqokwa ngayo. Amanye avaliwe, amanye acinyiwe, amanye aboshwe ngezinkinobho, kanti amanye alengiswe ezingutsheni noma ezigqokweni.
UYe Wenhan wake wathi wayeqoqe amabheji azo zonke izifundazwe zaseShayina ngaphandle kweQinghai kanye neTibet Autonomous Region.
“Isikole yindawo engiyithandayo kakhulu empilweni,” kusho uYe engxoxweni ngaphambi kokushona kwakhe. “Ukuqoqa amabheji esikole kuyindlela yokusondela esikoleni.”
Wazalelwa eShanghai ngo-1931. Ngaphambi kokuba azalwe, uyise wathuthela eShanghai esuka eSifundazweni saseGuangdong eningizimu yeShayina ukuyohola ukwakhiwa kweYong'an Department Store. UYe Wenhan wathola imfundo engcono kakhulu eseyingane.
Ngesikhathi eneminyaka emihlanu nje kuphela ubudala, uYe wahamba noyise baya ezimakethe zezinto zakudala beyofuna ubucwebe obufihliwe. Ethonywe yilokhu okuhlangenwe nakho, waba nothando lokuqoqa izinto zakudala. Kodwa ngokungafani noyise, othanda izitembu ezindala nezinhlamvu zemali, iqoqo likaMnu. Yeh ligxile emabhejini esikole.
Izifundo zakhe zokuqala zavela e-Xunguang Primary School, lapho afunda khona. Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni samabanga aphezulu, uYe waqhubeka nokufunda isiNgisi, i-accounting, izibalo kanye nezithombe ezikoleni eziningana zomsebenzi.
Kamuva uYe waqala ukusebenza njengommeli futhi wafaneleka njengomeluleki wezomthetho ochwepheshe. Wavula ihhovisi ukuze anikeze iseluleko sezomthetho samahhala kulabo abaswele.
“Ubaba ungumuntu ophikelelayo, oshisekayo nonomthwalo wemfanelo,” kusho indodakazi yakhe uYe Feiyan. “Ngesikhathi ngiseyingane, ngangintula i-calcium. Ubaba wayebhema amaphakethe amabili kagwayi ngosuku futhi wayeka lo mkhuba ukuze akwazi ukungithengela amaphilisi e-calcium.”
NgoMashi 1980, uYe Wenhan wasebenzisa ama-yuan ayi-10 (amadola aseMelika angu-1.5) ukuthenga ibheji lesikole saseTongji University lesiliva, elingabhekwa njengokuqala kweqoqo lakhe elibalulekile.
Isithonjana sikanxantathu oguquliwe siyisitayela esijwayelekile sesikhathi seRiphabhulikhi yaseShayina (1912-1949). Uma sibukwa ngokuphambene newashi kusukela ekhoneni eliphezulu kwesokudla, amakhona amathathu afanekisela umusa, ukuhlakanipha nesibindi ngokulandelana.
Isibonakaliso sasePeking University sango-1924 naso siyiqoqo lokuqala. Sabhalwa nguLu Xun, umuntu ohamba phambili ezincwadini zesiShayina zanamuhla, futhi sinenombolo ethi “105″”.
Ibheji yethusi, elingaphezu kwamasentimitha angu-18 ububanzi, lavela eNational Institute of Education futhi lenziwa ngo-1949. Lesi yisithonjana esikhulu kunazo zonke eqoqweni lakhe. Encane kunazo zonke ivela eJapane futhi inobubanzi obuyi-1 cm.
“Bheka leli bheji lesikole,” kusho uYe Feiyan ngenjabulo. “Libekwe ngedayimane.”
Leli gugu elingamanga libekwe phakathi nophawu oluyisicaba lwesikole sezindiza.
Kulolu lwandle lwamabheji, ibheji lesiliva eliyi-octagonal livelele. Ibheji elikhulu lingelesikole samantombazane esifundazweni saseLiaoning enyakatho-mpumalanga yeShayina. Ibheji lesikole liqoshwe ngesiqubulo sikaConfucius esinezinhlamvu eziyishumi nesithupha, i-Analects of Confucius, esixwayisa abafundi ukuthi bangabheki, balalele, basho noma benze noma yini ephula isimilo.
UYe uthe uyise wayebheka elinye lamabheji akhe ayigugu kakhulu njengebheji lendandatho umkhwenyana wakhe alithola lapho ephothula eSt. John's University eShanghai. Yasungulwa ngo-1879 yizithunywa zevangeli zaseMelika, yayingenye yamayunivesithi adumile kakhulu eShayina kwaze kwaba yilapho ivalwa ngo-1952.
Amabheji asesimweni sezindandatho aqoshwe ngesiqubulo sesikole sesiNgisi esithi “Ukukhanya Neqiniso” akhishwa iminyaka emibili yezifundo kuphela futhi ngenxa yalokho ayivelakancane kakhulu. Umkhwenyana kaYe wayegqoka indandatho nsuku zonke futhi eyinika uYe ngaphambi kokuba ashone.
“Ngempela, angizange ngikuqonde ukuthanda kukababa ibheji lesikole,” kusho indodakazi yakhe. “Ngemva kokushona kwakhe, ngathatha umthwalo wemfanelo wokuqoqa futhi ngaqala ukwazisa imizamo yakhe lapho ngiqaphela ukuthi ibheji ngalinye lesikole linendaba yalo.”
Wanezela eqoqweni lakhe ngokusesha amabheji avela ezikoleni zakwamanye amazwe nokucela izihlobo ezihlala kwamanye amazwe ukuthi ziqaphele izinto ezithakazelisayo. Noma nini lapho ehamba phesheya, uvakashela izimakethe zendawo kanye namanyuvesi adumile ngomzamo wokwandisa iqoqo lakhe.
"Isifiso sami esikhulu ukuthi ngelinye ilanga ngiphinde ngithole indawo yokubonisa iqoqo likababa."
