I spent my 20 years in Japan. In my junior year, I was lucky enough to go to Nagasaki, Japan for two years as an exchange student. As an international student, I am lucky to meet a group of kind, sincere, simple and enthusiastic Japanese friends. During my study abroad career, I got a lot of care, encouragement, support and help. Japan is a beautiful island country, surrounded by the sea and with pleasant scenery. The beauty of the four seasons is very distinctive.
Japan is particularly beautiful in spring. Spring is the season when everything revives and a hundred flowers blossom. In March in Japan, cherry blossoms are in full bloom. I will invite my friends to enjoy flowers, eat, go to the seaside, go hiking and travel.
Among my Japanese elders, there is a warm and kind couple, Mr. and Mrs. Heimu. They have three adult children. Treat people very warmly and often invite me to their home. When there are many people, the Japanese partition door will be opened and there will be a long queue. Everyone will sit on tatami, sit around a small low table, eat delicious traditional Japanese food carefully prepared by Mrs. Heimu, and talk about the world without national boundaries. Japanese and overseas students get along well and get along well. In spring, the whole family will meet friends, take me with them, go for an outing and have a picnic in the park. Spread the prepared Japanese home-cooked dishes, various homemade Japanese rice balls, sushi, lunch boxes, fruits and drinks on the tablecloth on the grass, so that everyone can sit on the floor, enjoy delicious food, chat happily, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of spring. I still remember the taste of rice balls made by Mrs. Blackwood in Japan. The sour plum in the rice ball is sour and sweet, with glutinous and soft fragrant rice, which is very delicious and fresh in my memory. They will take me home after the visit.
In Japan, I have many like-minded young friends, Japanese young people, who are kind, easy-going, enthusiastic and polite. I have a good friend named Xing Zi Fujimura. She often takes me to her home for dinner, and the Japanese food cooked by her parents is delicious. Among them, the boiling point is delicious. The boiling point is a Japanese-style hodgepodge pot, which is called Guandong cooking in China. Authentic Japanese cuisine, the soup is very special and delicious. The ingredients cooked in the pot are very fresh. Japanese food and Japanese home cooking have always been unforgettable. My friends in Xing Zi will invite me to dinner. Once, I went back to my hometown in spring to worship my ancestors, and she also took me back to my hometown. After driving for several hours, she came to her ancestral home in the country. Although no one lives in the ancestral home, it is clean and tidy. There is a river in front of her house, and there is a big tree in the yard with a huge couch under it. Sitting on the couch under the tree, blowing a slight wind, watching the ducks swimming freely on the opposite river and the wild flowers in the field, I suddenly feel that life in the countryside is really beautiful and comfortable.
In spring, many activities will be organized in Japanese universities. The school organized a food festival and set up a stall on the campus lawn. At each booth, students can put their prepared cooked food, mark the price and sell it. If you have a favorite classmate, you can buy it yourself. The school will also hold a tea ceremony for students with excellent tea ceremony skills to perform the tea ceremony. Japanese tea ceremony originated in China, and later evolved into fried tea ceremony and matcha road. There is a ritual, the process of cooking and frying tea. Watch the tea ceremony and experience the spirit and beauty of "purity, quietness, harmony and silence" advocated by Japanese tea ceremony culture. The school will also organize students to visit US military bases. Visit American warships, base stations, literary evenings, talent shows and dinners.
There are many traditional festivals in spring in Japan, including March 3rd, Japan's Daughter's Day. Pray for girls to grow up healthily and live a happy life. At the Cherry Blossom Festival in March 15, the Japanese thought that cherry blossoms had the spirit of elegance, firmness and unity. They will travel, enjoy cherry blossoms and relax at this time. March 20th, formerly known as "Spring Festival", was the day when the emperor worshipped his ancestors in spring, and the Japanese also went to the grave to worship their ancestors on this day. This day is also a day to praise nature and protect living things. May 5th is Boys' Day. I wish boys thrive. On this day, every family with boys hangs a cloth carp flag (called "carp flag") on the roof, sticks calamus leaves on the door, and the whole family eats jiaozi.
In the spring of Japan, the artistic conception of the world is written with faint rhyme. The color of the city, the color of the sea and the scenery are not comparable to the color of cherry blossoms in spring. If there is an opportunity, I would like to go to Japan in the spring to enjoy the spring scenery and relax under the beautiful and romantic cherry trees.
