你真的相信文化可以多元性？

13岁的时候，我离开家，上了寄宿学校-武汉外国语学校。这可能是一个改变我一声的决定。

13虽的小孩就是一张白纸，外语教育+寄宿生活，还有什么比这更大的改变吗？

全国大概有7所这样的外语学校，孩子们可以选择英语、法语、日语、德语，甚至俄语的其中一种，当然我正如大部分人一样选择了英语。我们并不是一所中专学校，事实上我们除了英语教育比较超前以外，其他所有课业也保持着和普通高中一样的强度。

这是一个圈，不论是杭州外校也好，南京外校也好，我们偶遇时，就会心领神会的说，啊，原来你也是外校的啊？然后大家心中暗爽，开始想有很多话题可以说了。正如我们不学han meimei和lilei，我们认识Sandy和Sue。

wiki一下武汉外语学校(Wuhan Foreign Langues School)，是这样的。

Wuhan Foreign Languages School (WFLS) was founded in 1964 in Wuhan, People's Republic of China. It offers education from 1st grade to 12th grade with extensive and pioneering foreign language courses while maintaining the same courseload in other subjects as the other junior high/high schools in China. Languages other than English such as Japanese, German, French and Russian, are offered. A student at WFLS entering 7th grade is free to choose to study any of the foreign languages but can only choose one as his/her major second language in the next 6 years.

History

WFLS was one of the first four foreign language schools founded in China under the directory of the then Premier, Zhou En Lai and Vice Premier, Chen Yi.

Location

Currently WFLS is a boarding school with a few thousand of students living on its two campuses. One of the campus is located in Downtown Hankou and the other campus is by the beautiful Prince Lake in Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone in Hanyang. Most existing buildings in the two campuses were built after 1998. The buildings inmitate contemporanry European architectural styles. Another campus is currently being built in Wuchang.

Education

Being one of the best middle schools in the City of Wuhan and in Hubei Province, WFLS attracts tens of thousands of 6th grade students to sit for its entrance examination every year. Less than two hundred students are accepted each year. Other sources of students include those who are from rich and powerful families. Although best known for its liberal arts education, WFLS is also proud to have many of the best science teachers. The average score of WFLS students in the national entrance examination is usually the highest in Wuhan.

International exchange

WFLS has established connections with Raffles Institution, Singapore. Every year a small number of students graduated from junior high in WFLS are sent to continue education in Singapore. Besides this, WFLS has a sister school in Pittsburgh, USA. It also has exchange programs with high schools and universities in the U.S., UK, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Austria, and New Zealand.

外语教育，很难不受到文化的倾入。而且有可能英语越好，受到西方文化的影响越深。在那么小的时候，就为整个生活的基调打下了一个基础，因此，我觉得我的生活中有一大半程度是会受到西方文化的影响的。可是这并不能为我的生活带来任何方便。

我们小时候从来不会觉得自己说话里面夹点英文会怎么样，到了北京来之后，才发现我们这类人不分清红皂白的会被归为“装逼”的行列。社会对文化的宽容程度远没有那么高。不过不可否认地是一部分东施效颦的像要变得西化的人的确给国人定义了“装逼”这个词。因为西化不是说话夹带英文单词，不是喝星巴克咖啡，不是去夜店和老外混在一起，不是无所不顾的性解放。如果对西方核心的哲学与价值体系没有最基本的了解，又何谈西化？

我记得以前发狠研究过中国文化，选过“中国哲学史”这门课，还据此看过一些书籍去研究这个。虽然我本质上是一个逻辑清晰理性之上的人，所以不太能认同“中庸”这种思想。

有心理学家说，美国人的思维是两条平行线，中国人的思维是无数复杂的交错的曲线。我突然觉得说我的思维好像没那么多曲线。我现在心中很排斥矛盾的东西，想要1是1，2是2.但是问题我的心中就是充满着矛盾的东西。

我常常觉得有两种文化的东西，是不是件好事情。看了个采访，有印度人说同时享有英国和印度文化是件好事情。但是我有时觉得非常不好，因为在哪边都不可能有完全的认同感。中国人不认同你，外国人也不认同你。所以有人说ABC的生存状态可能很糟，就是因为这个。

也许我在这个问题上过于悲观了，但是我只是想从另一个角度看看问题。其实要想别人接受自己，不是通过上个什么学校，挣了多少钱来证实，而是首先要自我接受，如果要做到这一点，势必要挖掘出内心很多的阴暗面。
