I just doubt: will there still exist the so-called indigenous knowledge in 100 years? Globalization is everywhere.
Anyway it is time for me to imagine.
The most significant knowledge I want to pass on is our dialect. You know in China there are thousands kinds of Chinese.
Though we write the same way, our pronunciation is totally different from place to place. For example , in Wenzhou, people who live 10 miles away from each other will have no sense of what the other talk about.
Since mandarin is the only official language, more and more children have no idea how to talk with dialect. That is a disaster for the diversity of language.
I will be more than happy to teach dialect when I am 100. Our beautiful local dialect is the first idea I want to pass on.
