مازن بن غضوبة صحابي جليل هو أول من أسلم من أهل عمان في السنة السادسة للهجرة. روي مازن بن غضوبة عن نفسه: كنت أسدن صنما يقال له باحر بسمائل قرية بعمان، فعترنا ذات يوم عنده عتيرة وهي الذبيحة، فسمعت صوتًا من الصنم يقول: يا مـازن اسمع تسر ظهر خير وبطن شر بعـث نبي من مضر بـدين الله الأكبـر فدع نحيتا من حجر تسلم من حر سقـر قال: ففزعت لذلك، وقلت: إن هذا لعجب، ثم عترت بعد أيام عتيرة، فسمعت صوتًا من الصنم يقول: أقبل إلي أقبل تسمع ما لا تجهل هذا نبي مرسل جاء بحق منزل فآمن به كي تعدل عن حر نار تشتعل وقودها بالجندل فقلت: إن هذا لعجب، وإنه لخير يراد بنا، فبينا نحن كذلك إذ قدم رجل من الحجاز، فقلنا: ما الخبر وراءك؟ قال: ظهر رجل يقال له أحمد، يقول لمن أتاه: «أجيبوا داعي الله» قلت: هذا نبأ ما قد سمعت، فسرت إلى الصنم فكسرته أجذاذا، وركبت راحلتي فقدمت على رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-، فشرح لي الإسلام فأسلمت.

My name is Chan Zai. I was born in a walled village of the Tang clan in Lung Yeuk Tau, New Territories, which has a history of over 500 years. I have been filled with curiosity and pride for this familiar land since I was young. I was born in the auspicious old walled village, gazing at the lush green mountains in the distance and the meandering Wutong River, which made me feel the unique charm of this land from an early age. Our ancestors carefully chose this site and built sturdy high walls of blue bricks, which not only defended against pirate attacks but also provided a cool and pleasant shelter from the heat. Although the village gate is narrow, it serves its defensive purpose well, making it difficult for outsiders to invade easily. The ancient well beside the gate is a vital water source for the villagers, ensuring water security when enemies approach. As I walk into the village, the neatly arranged houses are hidden beneath the greenery, exuding an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The ancestral hall towers into the clouds, with dragon-head wood carvings and crane reliefs inside, showcasing the profound historical and cultural heritage of the Tang clan. During major festivals, the villagers actively participate, ringing the ancient bronze bell in unison, praying for the blessings of our ancestors. I especially love to visit the Tin Hau Temple, where after lighting an incense stick, I listen to the miraculous stories of the Goddess of Heaven and the Earth God, hoping they will bless me with safety and health. The nearby Chong Him Hall is also a favorite of mine, filled with countless memories from my childhood. Every time I step into this familiar historic site, I can't help but feel: I am so fortunate to be born in such a place rich in history and culture. I will study hard to inherit the wisdom of my ancestors, ensuring that this treasured land is passed down through generations and thrives.
