Old time and old people are the real treasure of any culture

Oh, I’m pretty sure I’ve been there before. For a school trip, it was super cool, we learnt how to tie fishing nets.

That precious granny looks like people I know that look exactly like her

My heart started aching when she quietly sang that funeral song, then it sank when she said not to sing any more of it with that pained smile. I hope she didn’t feel pressured to sing it, must’ve brought back some painful memories…

I am a native Cantonese speaker. I can pretty much understand most everything she says. She should carry on our ethnic and cultural heritage.

So heartwarming like if you think it is ;)

Our collective history is slowly disappearing before our eyes.

[@priyaverma3158]

I fear when the old people disappear how I can know my culture in true words it doesn't seem fit to read in books or watch any documentary.

Is she singing in Tanka dialect? Sounds just like Cantonese

Among the PRC failings is an unwillingness to remember and honor its history. Granted,not everything's great or admirable but still.

How about hakka San gor?
Elders are diminishing, soon no one will remember
