A supporting message to International Students.

When I (Masakatzu Motoki) came to Japan in 1989 at age 17, I had not such ambition of becoming the bridge of Japan and China. I came from the countryside of Fujian Province to Japan and went to school while I did part time job.
When I went abroad then, all expenditures did not rely on my parents, unlike present international students. It was exactly like emigrant working situation. I spent day after a day in doing part time job to earn tuition, and squeezed out time to study. It was the basic life pattern then.

 At first, I did the dishes washing up. Then I heard from my colleague there was a place where hourly-wage was good, I transferred my job to Tukiji Fish Market. I got up at 4 am, and went to Shinbashi, there was not bus in service in that early time. 5 persons including me who did not know each other took 480 yen taxi together to the fish market and each of us paid 100 yen to taxi driver. I was welcomed by taxi-taking companions because my body was relatively small then.

 At working place, I only could say one word “Ha-yi(Yes)” , did not know “ Yi-ye(No)” or “Na-i(there are not)”. I only remembered the basic honorific saying. Although I knew the honorific word “Arimasen”, when I was told the ordinary same meaning word” Na-i”, I did not understand it. I was scolded by saying ”how didn`t you know such a simple word!”.

 While I worked as a part time worker, I learned Japanese language and graduated from university and had a job. Then I became independent and developed import business by myself. I established a business firm called “China Information Bureau” which aimed at letting Japanese people know the real situation of China. ......... ......
