I began to learn Japanese six years ago. I was deeply attracted by Japanese culture and became more inclined to go to Japan, even if only once, when I was in college.
However, it is difficult for me to study abroad on the grounds of my own expense. Traveling to Japan is also complex due to the Corona virus.
Nevertheless, there was a turning point. One day, my senior said to me, "How about going to a graduate school with exchange opportunities?" Those words opened up a brand new world for me. Then I worked my fingers to the bones to study hard for the postgraduate entrance examination.
On account of my efforts, I was admitted. Soon after I was enrolled, I was offered an exchange at Kobe College. I couldn't believe I was finally going to Japan. But I deem that as long as you don't give up, you can achieve your dreams.
I really came to Japan this time. This year I will experience Japanese culture as much as possible. I want to delve into Japanese. And I also want to make friends with people here and make unforgettable memories. At the same time, I want to pass on Chinese culture and the enthusiasm of Chinese people here, and build a friendly bridge between China and Japan.

Time flies, half a year in Japan has passed.I always ponder over one question that in the past six months , what have I done? Have I gotten process? I often question myself. When i think about it, many things come to mind. I reckon it is a precious thing to come to Japan. It was a valuable experience to live abroad for the first time, to see the heartbreaking scenery of books and Internet, to feel the excellent service industry in reality as well as to communicate in Japanese. In order to enjoy my life in Japan, I have traveled to diverse places in the past six months. Incidentally, the most significant thing is to study here. It's great to participate in Mr. Tateishi's seminar who asked us to read two papers every week, and then we shared our thoughts with each other in class. I have earned a lot. I am deeply indebted to the teacher, my thesis is also going on little by little. In addition, it is a great happiness to communicate and chat with the students from the same research group in the graduate room. Nevertheless, I am strongly aware that my strength as a researcher and my Japanese ability are insufficient nowadays. Although there is not much time left, I hope I can work my fingers to the bone, I desire to finish my thesis here, travel more places, communicate with more people, and create more unforgettable memories here.

Ten months passed in a flash. At present, I am writing the experience of studying abroad at my home in China. Although I have already come back to China, the precious and unforgettable days I spent in Japan often come to mind. I have to admit that I feeled nervous and homesick at the beginning. Nevertheless, in view of college's buddy system assisting me to make a lot of Japanese friends who also encouraged me from time to time even if my Japanese was not localized at that time. After a little hard period, I found that i made more and more friends and even traveled diverse other places. In addition to the normal social life, the main activity, learning, went also smoothly since the graduate school offers me a relatively cozy and relaxed learning environment, so that i can always donated myself into study with still and reassuring emotion. I also made friends with the graduate students in the research room and played with them and parallelly discussed about our studying. Last but not least, I am sincerely indebt that my supervisor and my seminar friends helped me a lot in Japan, and nowadays my master's dissertation has almost been completed. I would also like to appreciate other people I met in Japan. In the future, I will work my fingers to the bone to dig out more Japanese study, and if time permitted, i must go back to Japan to visit my beloved teachers and friends.
