Ma ka lā 13 o Dekemaba, 2023, ua hele mai ʻelua mau mea kūʻai aku Lūkini e kipa iā Chengyi e like me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana. Ua hoʻokipa pilikino ko mākou luna nui i nā mea kūʻai aku ʻelua a lawe iā lākou e kipa i kā mākou hale hana a me ka hale kūʻai. Ua lawe hauʻoli nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua i kahi kiʻi hui ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻomanaʻo.

Me ke kōkua o kā mākou luna nui ʻo Murphy, ua kipa aku ka mea kūʻai aku i ka pā hanohano o ka hui, ka mōʻaukala hoʻomohala a me ke ʻano o ka hui. Ua hoʻolauna ʻo Murphy i ka moʻomeheu ʻoihana o Chengyi i nā mea kūʻai aku Lūkini a mahalo i nā kiʻi o nā hōʻikeʻike a kā mākou hui i komo ai i nā makahiki i hala iho nei a me nā kiʻi o ke kūkulu ʻana i ka hui o ka hui.

Ma ke ʻano he hui honua, hoʻokau nui mākou i ka laulima ʻana me nā mea kūʻai mai nā ʻāina like ʻole. Hoʻomaopopo mākou he ʻokoʻa nā pono a me nā manaʻolana o kēlā me kēia mea kūʻai, no laila ke nānā mau nei mākou i ka mea kūʻai. Ma mua o ke keʻena hōʻikeʻike huahana, ua hoʻolauna ʻo Murphy i kā mākou huahana nui i nā mea kūʻai Lūkini ʻelua me nā kikoʻī, a ua kūkākūkā nui ʻia e pili ana i nā mea, nā kikoʻī a me nā pae o nā huahana. A hōʻike ia i ke akeakamai o Chengyi no ka nānā ʻana i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hopena e hoʻokō ai i nā koi pilikino o nā mea kūʻai.

I ka wā o ka hālāwai, ua hoʻolauna mākou i ka mōʻaukala o ka hui ʻo Chengyi i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku, a me nā ʻāina a me nā huahana a ka hui i hoʻokuʻu aku ai i nā makahiki i hala iho nei. Hāʻawi i nā pane ʻoihana i nā nīnau like ʻole i hāpai ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku. Ma o ke kaiapuni hana maikaʻi o Chengyi, ke kaʻina hana hoʻonohonoho, a me nā huahana a me nā lawelawe kiʻekiʻe, ua ʻike ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku Lūkini. I ka wā o ke kaʻina kamaʻilio ma waena o nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua, ua kamaʻilio ka mea kūʻai aku e pili ana i nā manaʻo hana like e hiki mai ana a ua kamaʻilio kikoʻī i nā kikoʻī kikoʻī o ka hana aʻe o ka hana like. Ma hope o ka hālāwai, ua hāʻawi mākou i ka mea kūʻai aku i kahi makana i hoʻopilikino ʻia mai Chengyi e hōʻike i ko mākou mahalo.

He mea nui iā Chengyi ke kamaʻilio a me ke kūkākūkā ʻana me nā mea kūʻai mai nā ʻāina like ʻole. ʻAʻohe mea i ka wā e kipa mai ai kā mākou mea kūʻai iā mākou, e kūpaʻa mau mākou ma Chengyi i kā mākou mau manaʻo mua a e hoʻokipa maikaʻi iā lākou. Aia kā mākou hui i kahi hui o nā kānaka akamai a mākaukau loa i loaʻa ka ʻike nui a me ka ʻike ma kā lākou mau kahua. I waena o lākou, ua akamai ka hui ʻoihana honua i nā ʻōlelo he nui a ua kamaʻāina i nā moʻomeheu a me nā loina ʻoihana o nā ʻāina like ʻole. ʻAʻohe mea i ka wā hea, e kamaʻilio ʻo Chengyi me nā mea kūʻai aku ma ke ʻano ʻoiaʻiʻo loa a hāʻawi iā lākou i ke kōkua a lākou e pono ai.
