Teachers and Students from Osaka University of Tourism and 

Soka University, Japan, Visited HZU

On the morning of March 10, a delegation of teachers and students from Osaka 

University of Tourism and Soka University, Japan, visited our university. The two sides 

held an exchange symposium in Conference Room 612 of the Administration Building. 

Wei Xiaohui, Vice President of our university, and relevant heads of the International 

Exchange and Cooperation Department and the School of Foreign Languages attended 

the meeting, which was presided over by the head of the International Exchange and

Cooperation Department.

At the meeting, the head of the International Exchange and Cooperation Department 

first introduced the development overview of Huizhou City, as well as our university’s 

history, disciplinary characteristics and achievements in international exchanges and

cooperation. The head of the School of Foreign Languages focused on the cooperation 

between our Japanese major and Japanese universities and enterprises, demonstrating 

the remarkable progress our university has made in internationalized education.

Mr. You Xiao, leader of the delegation from Osaka University of Tourism, thanked 

our university for the warm reception and elaborated on Osaka University of Tourism’s 

history, educational characteristics and the history of cooperation between the two 

universities. He expressed the hope that more students from Osaka University of 

Tourism would participate in exchange programs between the two universities in the 

future, come to China to study Chinese and gain an in-depth understanding of Chinese 

culture.

On behalf of the university, Vice President Wei Xiaohui warmly welcomed the Japanese university delegation. She emphasized that our university has always adhered to the 

concept of openness and inclusiveness and actively promoted international exchanges 

and cooperation. She hoped that the Japanese exchange students would interact 

deeply with our teachers and students, enhance mutual understanding, fully 

experience the campus culture and immerse themselves in Chinese culture. 

Meanwhile, she looked forward to further deepening the friendly cooperative relations between Chinese and Japanese universities through this exchange activity.

Subsequently, exchange students from Osaka University of Tourism and Soka University

introduced themselves respectively. Hashimoto Taiga from Soka University said that 

although he had just arrived at Huizhou University, he had already deeply felt the 

richness and uniqueness of Chinese culture. Nishizaki Komachi from Osaka University of 

Tourism shared that she had experienced many cultural shocks since coming to China, 

and hoped to improve her Chinese proficiency and build profound friendships with our 

students through this exchange.

The short-term exchange program for Japanese students features a compact and 

diverse itinerary, covering Chinese language learning, traditional Chinese martial arts, 

art experiences, Hanfu culture, tea ceremony culture, visits to traditional Chinese 

medicine institutions, and tours of modern Chinese enterprises. It offers valuable 

opportunities for Japanese students to deeply experience traditional Chinese culture 

and understand contemporary social development. This exchange not only enhanced 

mutual understanding among Chinese and Japanese youth, but also built a solid 

platform for deepening bilateral cooperation. In the future, our university will continue

 to promote people-to-people exchanges with foreign universities, encourage Chinese 

and foreign students to learn from each other, broaden students’ international 

horizons, help cultivate high-quality talents with global competitiveness, and contribute 

to the university’s talent training goals.
