Ndinowanzofamba ndichigura nyika yekuchamhembe nekumaodzanyemba kwenyika.
Muchitima chinofamba, ndinofarira kugara pedyo nefafitera rechitima, ndichitarisa nzvimbo iri kunze kwefafitera. Mune iyo minda yakakura yenyika yaamai, nguva nenguva kuona kupfeka ngowani dzemashanga zvakaoma varimi vanorima mufananidzo.
Ndinoziva, heti dzemashanga idzi, ndiyo nzvimbo yakanaka kwazvo parwendo.
Pose pandinoona heti yemashanga mumusoro wehama idzodzo dzevarimi, ndinonzwa kumwe kutama kusingatsananguriki. Pandaiva muduku, ndaiwanzopfeka ngowani yemashanga kakawanda, ndichifudza minda yakaisvonaka yetaundi rokumusha kwangu.
Muna August 2001, ndakaenda kunoona imba yeChirangaridzo yeKumukira kwaAugust 1 muNanchang. Mukona yekumabvazuva kweuriri hwechipiri hweimba yeshowroom, kune vakafira chitendero vakati wandei vaimbopfekwa vane ngowani yebvudzi nhema. Ngowani dzemashanga idzi, muchinyararire, dzinondiudza kuvimbika kwatenzi wadzo kuchimurenga.
Ndichiona nguwani dzemashanga idzi dzandaiziva, pfungwa dzangu dzakavhunduka zvikuru. Nekuti, izvi zvisati zvaitika, handina kumbofunga nezvehukama pakati pengowani dzemashanga uye shanduko yeChinese.
Ngowani dzemashanga idzi dzinondiyeuchidza nezvenhoroondo yechimurenga cheChinese.
Mumugwagwa wakareba waKurume, vangani varwi veRed Army vakapfeka ngowani dzemashanga vakarwa neRwizi Xiangjiang, vakayambuka Rwizi rweJinsha, vakabata Luding Bridge, vakayambuka gomo rechando, vangani heti dzemashanga kubva kune vakaurayiwa kuenda kumusoro wevakaurayiwa, uye vakatanga kutenderera kutsva kwerwendo rwechimurenga.
Ndiyo ngowani iyi yakajairika uye isina kujairika yemashanga, yakawedzerwa kusimba uye ukobvu hwenhoroondo yeshanduko yeChinese, yakava mutsara wenzvimbo yakanaka, yakavawo murarabungu unopenya paKurume Kwakareba!
Mazuvano, vanhu vanonyanya kushandisa ngowani dzemashanga, chokwadika, varimi, avo vakatarisana nenhamo vakafuratira denga. Vanoshanda nesimba panyika yakakura, vachidyara tariro uye vachicheka nheyo yezvinhu inotsigira kuvakwa kwenyika yaamai. Uye inogona kuvatumira inotonhorera, ingowani yemashanga.
Uye kutaura hat yemashanga kutaura baba vangu.
Baba vangu vaiva mudzidzi wenguva dzose muma1950 ezana remakore rapfuura. Mushure mekufamba kubva kuchikoro, akakwira pachikuva chemakumbo matatu ndokunyora hudiki hwake nechoko.
Zvisinei, mumakore iwayo anokosha, baba vangu vakanyimwa maruramiro okukwira pachikuva. Saka akapfeka ngowani yake yekare yemashanga ndokuenda kuminda yeguta rake kuti ashande nesimba.
Panguva iyi amai vangu vaitya kuti baba vangu vaisazobudirira. Baba vake vaigara vachinyemwerera vachizunza zunza ngowani yavo yesadza muruoko rwavo: “Vatateguru vangu vanga vakapfeka ngowani yesadza kuuya, zvino iniwo ndinopfeka ngowani yeshanga, muupenyu, hakuna kuoma. Uyezve, ndine chokwadi chokuti zvinhu zvose zvichanaka.”
Chokwadi, hazvina kutora nguva refu baba vangu vasati vatora chikuva chinoyera zvakare. Kubva ipapo, mukirasi yababa vangu, kwaigara kuine musoro wengowani dzemashanga.
Iye zvino, mushure mekurega basa, baba vangu vanopfeka heti yeshanga pese pavanobuda. Adzokera kumba, anogara achirova huruva pangowani yake yemashanga asati aiturika pamadziro.
