- How I obtained this career
-
I started working at the Kawoong Transportation Company after I graduated from high school. I was in charge of shipping samples and documents to Chinese and Korean trading companies. At the time, I also sent samples of our products to Japan and other countries. I had many opportunities to meet Japanese customers. I began thinking that I wanted to broaden the experience I had gained in China in Japan sometime, where standards for service and technical industries are higher. I developed a keen interest in Japanese culture, including service, design, animation, and games, and in March of 2004 I came to Japan as an international student. I studied Japanese for 2 years at the Kansai College of Foreign Languages in Osaka and then enrolled in Osaka Communication Arts.
I thought about returning to China for a while, so I was late starting job hunting. After I graduated, I applied for a special activities visa so I could continue searching for employment. I took advantage of the school's employment center and the Osaka Employment Center for Foreigners and received a job offer in October of 2010 in the design and printing company Okasakishiko. In the future, I intend to work toward acting as a gateway between Japan, China, and Korea. And I want to contribute to the expansion of technological exchange in the design and printing industries both in my home country of China and in Japan.
