The traditional Chinese large family tree is going to crumble away in only half century.
Do you think “crumble away” is a good expression here？I cannot come up with an appropriate one here, Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.

By 'crumble away' do you mean gradually decline in importance?
@jinmin1988,
fade away
disappear
Are you sure you mean "family tree" and not just "family" or perhaps "extended family" (3 or 4 generations in same house)?
A family tree is a diagram on paper or a concept.
@contrex,
Thank you, Contrex.
"extended family" would be better.
Stumble It!
