Hi, there. My name is Mao. I'm a native Chinese speaker and can speak fluent Japanese. I'm living in Japan. l read English news and books every day, but I don’t have many chances to speak or write. So I'm writing articles here and very appreciate you if you can correct them. I'm also looking for friends who would like to exchange language with me. I can help your Chinese or Japanese and I hope you can help my English. I like reading and doing workouts at home. I haven’t traveled much but only have been to Japan, Philippine, HK, and Taiwan. I’m trying to read more English books, if you know some interesting books, please tell me!

    My boss resigned last week There is a special rule in Japan that be called as 年功序列 which means your promotion and salary are not mostly decided by your performance but your age. Generally, you can work in one company until your retirement as long as you don't make any big mistakes. So you can see this phenomenon in Japan that the older gain more salary. My company also has this 年功序列 thing, but there are some other spescial rules above this. One of them is when you get 55-year-old, you need to give your position to more younger and powerful people. If you are the head of your department, this age restriction will up to 57. But if you become a board member before 57 years old, you will no longer be banded by this rule and work here as long as you want. My boss is 54-year-old this year and he was our vice president.He said he had thought about these things for a quite long time and the conclusion was that there would be little possibility for him to become a board member in the next three years. So before his position is taken away, he decided to find other opportunity outside. My boss is a excellent supervisor and a very nice person. He had worked in many group companies oversea such as Hong Kong, USA, and Europe. So I don't feel sorry for him, I believe he will make big achievements in a new stage. I give him my best wishes.

    The moment I became an adult It seems that girls trend to fall in love with the boy which all other girls like as well. I liked a boy who was handsome, fashional, and sing very well. And of course, other girls liked him too. But the interesting thing is that we seemed never mind the fact that we shared the same guy, instead, we had always been enjoying talking about how his smile was attractive. I loved him until senior high school. Then, one day, another boy moved to our class in the 3rd grade. I remember the day he was taken into the classroom, he smiled like a brigand. He talked very loudly about how he fighted with other boys in his old school. Even though his seat was next me on my left side but I had never shown my concern to him. I didn't like him until one day my friend showed me an article he wrote. I have forgotten the detail, but I remember it was very sensitive and beautiful. I was shocked and couldn't imagine those words came from this rude man. After then I had read more his articles. I still hadn't talked to him and it seemed that he didn't talk to me either. One day, He was asked to share his answer of math homework in the math class. Everyone looked at him and he just stood there very ambarrassedly. Apparently, he hadn't done his homework. I heard his conversation with other guys before that he was very bad at math. Then without thinking anything, I threw my homework on his desk very quickly. He then read my answer and sit down. I thought nobody saw, but of course I was wrong, including my teacher, everyone had seen that. My heart beat quickly and my face blushed. I still can't explain why I did that at that moment. The other day, my pen dropped on the floor and no ink came out. I tried to repair it. He saw that and asked if he can help. I hesitated one second then gave my pen to him. A while later, he said it's OK with a smile. I saw his teeth were black full of ink. He used his mouth to repair my pen! Suddenly, my heart was touched by something. His mouth was black but his smile was so shiny and warm. At that moment I realized this guy was a good person. At that moment I realized people cannot be judged by his looks. Also, at that moment I fell in love with him. When you were a little girl, you were attracted by appearance, but when you became a woman, you were attracted by heart.

    What made me interested in Japan? A friend on itolki asked me what made me interested in Japan. I thought I have a long story to tell. You probably know that China and Japan had a longlasting war from 1931 to 1945 which was a party of The Second World War. We battled very hard and almost lost it, but then American dropped two atomic bombs into Hiroshima and Nagasaki which forced Japan to surrender quickly and have saved my country from hell. Due to the war, we hated Japan. But later we were surprised by their economic development after the war. When I became a high school student I started confusing how they can do that if they are all such bad people? So I chose Japanese as my major at the university in order to solve my confusion. I learned the language and the cultures. I read Japanese books and talked to Japanese people directly and found that both our countries share so many familiar cultures and customs which could have made us be friends, not enemies. I’m not saying these war things are forgivable. But I hope we can compete in a different and healthy way, not by hurting the people’s feelings or by opening the miserable memories again and again. Now I’m living in Japan, I like this country and the people. As for politics, it’s not our business I think.

    Today someone asked me, "Are you familiar with Kochi Prefecture?" but I had never heard of it. I wanted to learn more about it, so I searched for some YouTube videos.

    高知とよさこいについてのビデオを見つけて、見ようと思いました。
    I found one about Kochi and Yosakoi, and I decided to watch it.

    以前には東京と北海道だけに行きたい行きたかったです。でも、ビデオを見たことの後は、本当に高知県にも行って、よさこいを見たいと思いましたですよね!
    Before I just wanted to go to Tokyo and Hokkaido, but after watching the video, I really want to go to Kochi and see Yosakoi!

    とっても(or とても)イソイソワキワキしています。日本ではきれいなことが沢山あると思います。実には日本がは本当に素晴らしい国です。
    I'm very excited. I think there are so many beautiful things in Japan. It truly is a wonderful country.

    昨天我睡得不好,因为我的一个中国朋友给我打电话了, 我们聊天聊到很晚。(you didn't sleep well not because your friend had called but because you two guys stayed alive until late. )
    我读中文读得不好,因为去年我们的中文课没学教汉字。(学:the subject is ‘我‘’, 教:the subject is ''我们的中文课'')

    Women and high heels Does any man know how exactly women feel when they are wearing high heels? Believe me, it's not as good as you see. There is nothing about sexy or happiness. We are just struggling. I have always been troubled by high heels. I remember when I was a little girl, I usually tried to put my little feet into mother's high heels when she was not at home. They were too big for me but I enjoyed walking around and around in my room and imagining that I was a beautiful delicate lady waiting for a handsome man on a horse of white. I thought when I grow up, I will wear them every day. But the truth is they have never failed to hurt me. Last night, I went to the department to buy some shoes. My eyes were attracted by the high heels corner and couldn't help myself to have tried a few pairs. Then I wondered why am I still trying to fit them after so much blood? I will never try the one over 3cm's height! Oh, why they are looking so beautiful but wearing so uncomfortable!?

    今日は友達と一緒に台北のコミックイベントへ行って来ました。(去了又已经回来了)
    コミックイベントは毎年たくさんの人が来ます。

    昨夜、友達に私に「会場の外に行ってならぼう。いま行ったら、明日はきっと欲しいものが買える。」と誘われました。
    「ちょっと、、、欲しいものと比べて、寝るのが大事だ。」と思いました。

    それから、
    今日の並ぶ時間が長かったです。
    それでも、うれしかったですね。
    いろいろな漫画や小説など見れたから、来年も行きたいとおもいます。
