The story of 7 Chinese young people in Tokyo
origin: Fenghuang Network North Green depth
12 month, Tokyo has entered the early winter, the red leaves in the upper Wild Park tremble with the wind, female students They wore their scarves around the neck and wore a pleated skirt. They walked through the park with bare legs. The girl with long legs in winter is one of the signs of the city so that people in other parts of Japan talk about it, "because it's Tokyo." [/b]
seemingly contradictory things have been included, Tokyo is such a magical place, here has a set of rules of operation. [/b]
"do you like it here?" I try to chat with some Chinese young people who study and live here, talking about their stories about Tokyo, about growth, ambition, loneliness and love. [/b]

"in Tokyo, the tattoo is still a symbol of the black society" [/b]
"every time I come to Tokyo, I will wear a new pair of shoes, how can I wear the dirty", the man sitting opposite me Child Fan Haoyu with a light head, wearing a red hat, calling himself a bad teenager in the street wind of the North East gold chain, while Wang Anni, the lover beside him, took over the crop, "yes, I do not give up in the good bag in Beijing, and I don't dare to wear such a fur dress like this."
Anne, who grew up in northern Gong and drum alley, came to Tokyo a year ago to study fashion business, while Fan Haoyu turned off his ten - year clothing store in the drum tower and came to Tokyo to find new opportunities.
two native Beijing people are not stingy with their love for the city. Fashionable, this is their most intuitive impression of Tokyo. Fan Haoyu, who has been influenced by Japanese culture, has its own views on the fashion industry in Japan. "In Japan, original design brands have their own living space, even small brands can find their own circles and audiences." Unlike in China, a style of fire is catching up.
in Japan, they live in the middle and wild, often in Shinjuku and Shinjuku, "Shinjuku is Xidan, the root is the drum tower," Fan Haoyu so analogies these two familiar city business circles. Although they agree with the different levels of the city, they are still puzzled. "You say it's tolerant, but sometimes it's not."
as a tattoo enthusiast, Fan Haoyu has a large size of the tattoo style of the body, especially on the back of that, is a gold medal in the foreign exhibition of the tattoo work. But in the eyes of the Japanese, this is still a symbol of the underworld. "As long as you have tattoos, even a little bit, the hot springs don't want to go in, and the public baths don't necessarily let you in." In the summer, he was wearing a vest to show his tattoo on his arm, and he was even asked to put on his coat by a restaurant to continue to eat, which made the youth of the drum tower have some helplessness.
now, the little couple in Beijing have made plans to settle in Japan and will still live in the middle field. In Wang Anni's view, Sino wild means the drunken man in front of the tramway station on weekends, donki's hot baked sweet potato, and all kinds of toys in mandarake. Fan Haoyu laughed and said, "I want to be a ghost in the middle."
Yang Shifan [/b]
the best friend is a Japanese monk [/b]
along a narrow downhill road, through the burning meat shop, the small theatre, the old bookstore and the dignity. The Waseda University is here. Yang Shifan, a post-90s graduate student, studied the Edo thought and came to Tokyo for more than a year.
we sit in the cafe in the small garden. The winter in Tokyo is not so cold. He has a flat head, a few pimples on his face, black windcoat and canvas shoes. It looks somewhat restrained. Only when he talks about it, he will be eloquent.
even in Japan, the Edo thought that belongs to the philosophy of Dongyang is not a hot major, but as a Chinese student, it is not easy to come to Japan to follow Toda Kenjiro to learn such a small subject. In Yang Shifan's eyes, there is an old school grace on Mr. TTU, who studies the Zhu Zi school in the Edo period, which is very difficult to see in the present young people.
also because of the subject of the relationship, usually in the department often in faculties is also the study of the Confucian Taoist Taoist thought of the students, and even the monks from various places to study, and Yang Shifan's best friend here, is one of the monks studying here.
University, who studied Japanese in China, did not experience too many language difficulties in Japan. But he often finds it difficult to really integrate into Japanese society. Japanese society is "civilized but oppressive" in his eyes, while Chinese society has a rough sense of beauty. "Many people think that Japanese culture is learning China, but it is wrong. The core part of Japanese culture has not changed." He said for example, "for example, tea ceremony, Chinese people pursue good drinking, which is to grasp the essence. The Japanese are pursuing a sense of ritual, which requires you to feel.
although the older generation like a mentor would complain that the environment in Japan is not good, Yang Shifan can still appreciate the charm of the city in Tokyo. Here, the four seasons are clear, there are cherry blossoms in spring and red leaves in autumn, and the local food and lifestyle will also be introduced in comparison with the seasons. "The charm of Tokyo is what you feel when you live here."
