Teacher Li Jian said that he likes children who speak their hometown dialect and appreciates those who don't change their accents intentionally.
I have traveled all over the world.
My only luggage is my "mother tongue"
This reminds me that not everyone can do this. Of course, if you never leave your hometown, you can naturally keep things that belong to your own culture, but people living outside can't agree with this view.
If you want to integrate into other people's culture, you must establish the same language system as others. Such unity gives us a sense of security. Once the language can't communicate, the alienation of foreigners will always be excluded from the mainstream of others.
The second kind of hometown is hard to mention. I still remember traveling to eastern Tibet, where local people seldom go out to study. Such a highly educated girl told us that when she was studying abroad, she never mentioned her hometown, or even said she was Tibetan, because once she said it,' someone always looked at her with strange eyes, and some even blurted it out. Do you really only take three baths in your life? Are you really married?
This embarrassed her.
With the disappearance of dialects, you will lose the cornerstone of your own regional cultural heritage, but you will not be able to integrate into the world with dialects. In the cultural circle, dialect is a feature, a label and an identity. We just moved to Shenzhen recently. This is a mixed city. I'm from the north. When I first entered this city, I felt alienated and strange when I heard a strange southern accent. Fortunately, I actually met a girl from Wuhan in the apartment I rented. Her accent is very similar to mine. It's really a bit like seeing a fellow villager.
