In this autumn season, in order to celebrate traditional Chinese festivals, a group of students who stayed in Japan after studying in Japan have found a special way to feel the warmth of home. Organized by Zheng Yu, a student from Chiba University, 12 alumni from different faculties and grades of Chiba University held a warm Mid-Autumn Festival celebration at the "Kampo Wagyu Shop" in Tokyo, which is run by Shin from the Faculty of Law.
This gathering is not only to celebrate the arrival of the festive season, but also to let students in a foreign country feel each other's support and companionship. Created by Shin, a student from the Faculty of Law, the Kampo Wagyu Beef Shop blends traditional and modern design elements to create an intimate and stylish atmosphere, and the super delicious and authentic yakiniku adds a lot of color to the party. It is a high-frequency choice place for classmates to meet.
On the day of the party, everyone sat around under the warm light and enjoyed the food carefully prepared by Xin. During the dinner, there was a lot of laughter, and topics ranging from interesting things at home and abroad, to health and recent trends, to sharing their experiences of living in Japan, and about the time of the next party, everyone opened up and happily shared their situation. This light-hearted atmosphere makes you feel like you're at home, as close as your family.
It is worth mentioning that Liu and Cui brought their two handsome sons to participate together, which made this small group even more lively. Everyone specially used Chinese to communicate with the children, so that the children could feel the festive atmosphere of traditional Chinese culture, and the whole scene was full of the warmth of close family. Such a scene also made those present feel that the next generation of Chiba University may be gradually growing up from such exchanges.
As night fell, the party came to an end. Although everyone was reluctant, this gathering undoubtedly left a good memory for everyone, and also gave everyone a sense of belonging. Such gatherings are always very relaxing and enjoyable, and everyone is as kind as family, supporting and encouraging each other.
We look forward to more opportunities in the future, so that more international students and Chinese people in Japan can get together, share each other's stories, and continue to write our own happy times overseas.
