+ Chinese Language going downhill in the younger generations +

Had a very good slp til noon time then wake up. Meet Dear for lunch at Compass Point. On the way there, saw my long time no see secondary school friend & chatted for awhile.

After dad came home, I went downstair to dine with Dear & also dabao back dinner for my family. While Q-ing up for food, a seem like lower secondary boy wanted to order food. There was a signboard infront of the stall that displays the various food the stalls sells. The boy pointed to his choice of food when he ordered. The auntie behind the counter obviously couldnt see wat he has pointed & ask him to say out the name of the food which was in chinese characters. I was surprised he couldnt read the simple chinese words 'You Mian Tang' & kept pointing to the signboard. Then the person behind help him to read out to the stall auntie. Immediately in my mind I was thinking, is chinese going to extinct in the future? Now there's already such thing called lower chinese for those who's chinese is poor. In future, chinese language may soon become extinct & future generations do not need to study chinese anymore. Hence, mandarin will also become extinct.
In My Opinion, being a chinese must at least know abit of mandarin. Chinese pple who cannot speak a word of chinese really makes me shake head.
