A Chinese mausoleumtheir tombs. For example, the famous tombs amongst them are ofthe Koh family in Djakarta and of the Tang family in Makasar.But these Chinese officials became an extinct race uponIndonesia’s gaining independence. Not only were their officialtitles abolished but also such small offices as “head of a street,” orhousehold, formerly held by the Chinese. Those dazzlingmansions are now rented out or sold, and many have become theoffices of Chinese associations. Like “white clouds making dogsin the sky,” like “the sea now turned into a mulberry field,” thischanging world can only bring one regrets.The religious thought of the overseas Chinese is very shallow.Though you might see them showing off their religious fervour ina certain matter, their motive is rather commercial, according tothat dream for money circulating all the time in their minds. Theirworship of gold is total. So, you can easily understand why everyemigrant carried a “Tua Peh Kong” idol in his baggage, and whythere was a temple wherever they settled.80
