Editor’s Note:
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the normalization of China-Japan diplomatic relations. The final of the 29th Japan Chinese Speech Contest sponsored by the Japan-China Friendship Association (JCFA) was held in Tokyo on January 8. The 28 contestants came from 17 Japanese prefectures. They spoke about their experience in learning Chinese language, their contacts with Chinese people and their views on removing misunderstanding and enhancing mutual understanding and friendship between the two countries. We publish the following two speeches for our readers’ interest.
After a Span of 40 Years
Yui Tanaka (Winner of the University Student Group)
Hi, everybody! Recently, my clasates often looked at me, saying “Oh! How come you ile so brightly today?” Some even said that I looked like I had won the lottery; well, I hen’t. But, to me, a “China fan”, there really is a happy event to celebrate, i.e. we will soon greet the 40th anniversary of the normalization of Japan-China diplomatic relations! Here, I can tell everyone without scruple that Yui likes China more than mice like rice and pandas like bamboo. I am a hundred percent “China fan”.
Of course, it is not a plain sailing for one growing up right now. Behind my beaming ile, there are tears. I remember that, once, I took part in an important Chinese language competition full of confidence. When I arrived at the venue, I found so many strong competitors, which made me feel as if I were looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. I felt even more diayed when the competition results were released. I failed to get beyond the first round. At that time I couldn’t control my emotion, and cried as I called my Chinese teacher: “Teacher, I could not do it. I lost. I am finished!!” The teacher comforted me in a soft voice. Hearing me crying all the time, she said to me, “Oh, Yui, you are just like my own child. When you feel sad I feel sad, too!” These words injected a gush of warmth in me and brightened me up immediately. It was true that I didn’t win a prize, but I still felt very lucky and happy, because I he my Chinese mother. Whether I succeed or fail, the Chinese teach
After I started to learn Chinese, I found that my horizons were broadened. Before, I did he such a forable impression of China.

The Japanese eat sashimi, while the Chinese eat shish kebab; The Japanese keep a low profile and maintain an easy manner while the Chinese are straightforward and warmhearted…As a matter of fact, there are numerous cultural differences between the two nations.
