When I was a soldier in the Army, I have a target what is I want to be a boss in the future. So I read some books such as how to management, how to improve myself. When I left army and come back to shanghai, my uncle gave me a chance to learn how to manage a restaurant, but the result was not success. Then my friend recommend me a new company they sell import something from foreign countries. I spend two years there. Then I started my own business in that same industry. In 2011, my business have a problem that was a quality not good for my customer. I need to pay 7,000,000 to my customer so I had a large amount of pressure in that time. So I shut down my own business but I kept some customers till now. I just fire employees. Then my relatives recommended me a company that is my current company. So now my major job is Oil sales manager. At the same time I still have some trading customers to finish some order for them.


When I was a soldier in the Army, I hadĀ theĀ goalĀ of being a boss in the future. So I read some books such as “how to manage”, “how to improve myself”. When I left army and came back to shanghai, my uncle gave me the chance to learn how to manage a restaurant, but the result was not a success. Then my friend recommend a new company to me. They sold imported goods from foreign countries in China. I spent two years there. Then I started my own business in that same industry. In 2011, my business had a majorĀ product quality problem. I needed to reimburse 7,000,000 rmb to my customers, so I was under a lot of pressure at that time. So I shut down my business, but I kept some customers even up until now.

At the same time I still do some exporting for my old customers.

Writing exercise

In fact, I really donā€™t like to talk about this topic, cause thatā€™s too sad and serious for most Chinese.
So I want to separate write from 3 points
1.Ā Why the Japan invade China.
Ā Ā Japan is a island country, they donā€™t have enough resources. But during the Warring states periodļ¼Œthe General Toyotomi Hideyoshi need to more land and resources to award their military officers when he unified the whole Japan. So decided to invade Korea, China is ending of the Ming dynasty on the same time, Ming and Korea made a unite military to defence Japan. Japan was lose at the last. From that time they planted a seed of invade. I think that was a on of the reason.
Ā 
2.Ā Real experiences of Japan occupation in China from my grandfather.
Ā Ā Ā My Grandfather was born and live in Yan cheng city of Jiangsu province. When the Japanese army came to his hometown, he took my grandmother escape to Shanghai, he had to start a new life in there. Thatā€™s really hard.Ā 
He also looked at a large amount of things what was about brutality for Japanese soldiers, he said to me.
Ā 
3.Ā Some people said that Japanese had some contribution to China when they occupied in China.
Ā Ā I donā€™t know why they said that. Maybe they only through some basic constructions was built by Japan in some cities. That things just can proved they want to occupied China for a long period of time.So I think those people are so stupid and standpoint.Ā 
The feeling what as a slave for their master was planted in their heart. Play up to their masterā€™s was their only thins need to do everyday.
Ā 
May be my writing is not correct, but I truth every country have freedom to decide what they want do or not. Donā€™t use other countries tell them how to do now. This viewpoint also suitable for people living. Image a picture(make example) what is parents and child, their life is so happiness. One day a cop who is stranger for them came to their family. He ask the wife need to punish her husband and child everyday, because they always take a lot of problem. If you didnā€™t do that Iā€™ll arrest you.


In fact, I really donā€™t like to talk about this topicļ¼Œ because it’sĀ too sad and serious for most Chinese.
So I want to separate my writing in toĀ 3 points
1.Ā Why the Japan invaded China.
Japan is a island country, thereforeĀ they didn’t have enough resources to sustain themselves. But during the Warring states periodļ¼Œthe General Toyotomi Hideyoshi needed more land and resources to award their military officers when he unifiedĀ  Japan. SoĀ he decided to invade Korea. At that time China’s Ming Dynasty was ending. Ming and Korea made a united military to defend against Japan. In the end, Japan lost. Since then they planted a seed of invasion I think that was a one of the reasons.

2.Ā Real experiences of Japan occupation in China from my grandfather.
My Grandfather was born and lived in Yan Cheng, a city of Jiangsu province. When the Japanese army came to his hometown, he took my grandmother to escape to ShanghaiĀ toĀ new life in there. That was really hard for them.Ā 
He also saw a large amount of things what was aboutĀ of brutality by Japanese soldiers, he said to me.

3.Ā Some people said that Japanese had some contribution to China when they occupied in China.
I donā€™t know why they said that. Maybe they only through some basic construction was built by Japan in some cities. ThatĀ  justĀ  proved they wanted to occupy China for a long period of time. So I think those people are so stupid and dont have a good argument.
The feeling of being a slave for their master was planted in their heart. Playing up to their masterā€™s was what they needed to do everyday.

Maybe my writing is not correct, but I believeĀ every country has the freedom of self-autonomy. The donā€™t need other countries to tell them what to do. This viewpoint also suitable for people’s lives. Imagine a picture (make example) ofĀ parents and their child, their life is so full ofĀ happiness. One day a cop, who is stranger to them came to their family. He tells the wife to punish her husband and child everyday, because they always make a lot of problems. If you don’t do that Iā€™ll arrest you.
