I have liked Japanese pop culture since junior high school. So I always wanted to go to Japan. After choosing the Japanese language department in university, I came to use Japanese language more and more fluently. I wanted to learn more about Japan, and I wanted to get more involved with Japanese people. So I decided to study abroad.
Also, I think studying abroad in Japan is a good opportunity to learn Japanese because people around me speak Japanese. I may have trouble at first, but I will surely improve my Japanese language skills.
And this is the first time I will leave my parents and live abroad. I feel a little bit uneasy, but I believe this is also a chance to improve my life skills.
The most important thing is to convey the feeling that I hope Japanese young people and Chinese young people come to understand each other through this study abroad. They will know more about China while chatting with me. And my Chinese friends will also know more about Japan through my SNS. So, although my power is small, I’ll do my best to be a bridge between Japan and China.

I spent five months studying abroad. I think they have been five months which were most fulfilling.
Since I came to Japan, I felt the lack of my Japanese language at first. When I presented some opinion, I could not express clearly what I thought in my mind. I knew I wanted to improve my Japanese more. So, after I came to Japan, I tried to remember words and grammar all the time and finally passed the first level of the Japanese language proficiency test in December.
Also, I took lots of classes about Japanese culture in the university. The teachers helped me and I became interested in the traditional culture of Japan.
Moreover, I gradually became accustomed to Japanese daily life. I made friends and teachers were so kind that I didn't even feel homesick. I went to various places with my friends, so, I came to know more about Japan.
Before coming to Japan, I made the decision to never feel sorry for myself during my study abroad life. . I will still stick to it from now on.

How time flies! In the blink of an eye, it is time to go back to China. I feel like I've only just arrived in Japan.
Thinking back, there were many things that I did not understand during the class, but I received careful guidance from the teachers. My classmates and teachers were all kind, and I really feel grateful to them.
Although it was only for a short period of time, I gradually fell in love with Kobe, with Shoin, and with the teachers and friends around me, to form bonds that will last. I’ve gone from knowing nothing to not wanting to leave Kobe now”. It seems I was destined to be here.
From now on, I think I will enter the road of interpreting. It may be difficult to live and study because of coronavirus, but I will try my best with beautiful memories of this year.
I really learned a lot this year. Thank you to all the people who took care of me. Thank you very much. I'm glad I chose Kobe!
