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?
