Speaking exercise
OriginalĀ
Until to my university, I was not very interested in Japanese history and culture. Not only because I was impacted by the education that Japan invaded China and killed a lot of Chinese, but also Japanese name is so difficult to remember . So when I was a sophomore I choose French for my second language.
At my third year in university, one of my friends recommend me a Japanese TV play which attracted me deeply by its profound context and weird value. Then I was fascinated by a Japanese cartoon called ćOne Pieceć and totally admire whatever the cartoon expressed. Gradually I want to know more about the country.Like why the Japanese nationality is so united and unique ? How Japan absorbed other countries culture and created a new one? Why the country which was the first independent in Asia in modern history finally launched war to its neighbors.
After I studied Japanese and read more books about the country. What shocks me is the country preserve a lot of Chinese culture where even in China canāt find now. However Japanese has its own character and recreated China’s . As for Japanese , it is very strange but interesting that they believe in the opinion not troubling others in any time. Even when some of them suicide they also prepare carefully and act as a fabulous act.
I have to acknowledge I just know a little about Japan . So I will learn Japanese continuely and visit Japan as often as possible,
