还在美利坚的时候就习惯了上文学城。熟悉的版面，多样的内容。天天上“城”，有如每天上公交和地铁般地自然。上班下班前再一浏览，如同每天的日记，必做的功课。

这习惯并无间断，哪怕越过大洋。习惯了扑面而来的新闻，评论，和多样的博客，突然有一天看到了改版的首页。HOLY COW，吓煞俺也！好在，改版虽进行了，咱熟悉的，扑面而来的首页画风还是保留了下来。感谢编主不杀首页之恩！

小朋友对于这满目内容的，忙忙碌碌的首页很是不齿。他们相当地不理解在讲究简洁和多画面的首页风格的今天，居然还有这么老派的设计。小朋友当然不会理解，他们习惯了信息总是唾手可及，那么多的渠道，那么多的观点，他们从不需要努力地寻找。他们不要“给”的信息，他们宁愿选择性地搜寻信息。他们是自主的一代。

小朋友怎能想象当我们初次看到这扑面而来的信息，一条条一件件的毫无保留摆在你面前的欣喜。甚至有点窃喜，就像做了坏事。我们不在乎这忙碌的版面，给我信息，越多越好! 我们扫题目，阅文章，乱评论，像放了羊的小孩子般无拘无束。文学城给了我们放肆的平台，我们不曾有过的放肆的平台。

我们对于信息的渴望，就这样在满目的忙碌的首页里得到满足。在社交网站充斥着FAKE NEWS的今天，我们更依赖多渠道信息的汇总。文学城以其不变的初心，不断地“喂”着我们，满足我们对于世界的好奇。

据说文学城在有些地方是上不了的。如此则真不知如何是好。习惯了扑面而来的首页，和来自各个渠道的不管你喜不喜欢都展现给你的信息，不知还能否适应不一样的风格。也不知不能上文学城的故乡，还能不能称之为故乡？

- 献给文学城以及庆祝二笨博客访问量过万

I started visiting wenxuecity while back in the US. The design of the page, as well the variety of the content, drew me to visit the "city" every day, just like taking a bus or a subway. I was used to visiting the site before starting work and before finishing work every day, like writing a diary.

The habit of vising wenxuecity continued after I moved across the pacific. I was so used to the massive amount of news, blogs, etc. that the idea that site would be modified, completely freaked me out. Holy Cow, that's scary! Fortunately, although the site did get modified, the home page design was kept untouched. Thank goodness!

The youth couldn't get why the homepage design was so busy and it didn't make sense to them, as today's web design is all about simplicity and being graphical.  As well, the youth take it for granted that information is always accessible - so many channels, so many view points, no need to search for anything too hard. They rather search for things selectively, than being fed with information. They have the choice.

But how can the youth imagine our excitement when we first experienced the homepage with all these pieces of information. We were so excited that we almost felt naughty. We didn't complain about the fullness of the page, feed me more information, the more the merrier! We scan the topics, we read the articles, we commented with or without context... We were carefree for a change. Wenxuecity gives us the platform to be naughty, a platform we never had.

Our hunger for information was satisfied with the busy homepage. We repy more on the consolidated informnation today more than any other time, as fake news are all over the social media. Wenxuecity continues to feed us with information across channels and serves our curiosity about the world. 

Some say wenxuecity is not accessible in some places. If so we would be lost. After being used to information from all channels  served by wenxuecity without reservation, one is not sure if he or she can get used to any different styles. On another thought, if you can't access wenxuecity from your hometown, would you still call it "hometown"?
