By participating in such programs as tourism and study tour to China, the students became more and more fond of China and increasingly active in learning Chinese.
Currently, about 400 universities in Japan offer Chinese language courses, according to Hu Zhiping, minister counselor for education of the Chinese Embassy in Japan. Some universities have set up Confucius Institutes, which not only provide a better platform for the Japanese to learn Chinese, but also make great contributions to training Japanese teachers, developing Chinese teaching materials and promoting cultural exchanges between the two countries.
Apart from university education, many Japanese are participating in activities such as Chinese Corner.
Every Sunday afternoon from August 5, 2007 to now, dozens to hundreds of Japanese and Chinese people gather in Tokyo's Nishiikebukuro Park to talk in Chinese and Japanese.
"I like this Chinese Corner very much. I come to chat here as long as I have time. It's more about the latest Chinese news, culture and making Chinese friends than it is about learning the language," said 67-year-old Biju Nedzu.
"It is free and has no threshold; people can come and go as they like. That's why many Japanese people, many of whom have to work, come to the Corner all the year round. It has become a platform for sincere communication between Japanese friends and Chinese friends," said Duan Yaozhong, founder of the Chinese Corner.
