It's Not Like Anyone Is Reading This Anyway

Celebrating 60 years of Communist rule?
Seriously?
Need I remind you the countless 'sacrifices' made to realize Mao's dream of a China 'capable of defending herself'?
Need I remind you why some of our grandparents/parents/cousins/aunts/uncles left China for a place somewhere else in the world?
Need I remind you the Tiananmen Massacre where scores of students who protested against corruption in China(it started out as a memorial service for Hu Yao Bang) were mercilessly pulverized to death?

The Chinese people of China traded democracy for economic growth. Such a growth has been underway since 1979, and is not expected to slow down anytime soon, so shouldn't the Communist Party of China start talking about democracy(for fucks sake, it's a universal value, not Western)?

Celebrating 60 years of Communist rule?
I think not.

3 Months wei, where are you all?

MCA is like shit now.

If you still remember how to read Chinese, which as a Chinese you should know (shame on you if you don't), I invite you to read this blog, by a friend of my father.

He's a frequent contributor to our local Chinese newspapers and he writes about politics in a humorous & sarcastic manner, which is tons of fun to read.

Anyway, long live China for her 60th birthday.

My new old toy.

There is a dilemma,
To assimilate themselves into Indian society, or to continue to uphold the Chinese culture and language?
They are the minority, and they are all moving out in droves. It seems there is very little reason left to stay back. This place holds no memory worth revisiting, no place worth reminiscing about, your loved ones are either dead or off to another place.
Yet once in a while, some of them come back, some of them are drawn back, it seems hard to let go of the place you were born in.

Will Malaysia look like this in the near future?

培梅中学(Pei Mei High School)

Although named a high school, it is now a primary school and secondary school. This was taken in Chinatown, Tangra, Kolkata. The Chinese population is dwindling in Kolkata.(A few thousand left compared to tens of thousands just 10 years back) This is a Chinatown that doesn't look like a Chinatown. All the Chinese are migrating now, to make a living elsewhere, to live in better developed countries.

We met with the principal of the school while she was teaching tuition classes during the holidays and she isn't so optimistic about the future of the Chinese people in Kolkata.

It's just nice to be able to see your own kind once in a while in a predominantly Indian place, ya know?
