The Tokyo Venue

  This year’s Chang’an Cup·Chinese College Students’ Japanese Language Proficiency Demonstration Contest Finals was attended by 21 contestants from 19 colleges and universities inside and outside the province. They were divided into Group A and Group B. The order of the contestants’ video playback was decided by the jury office in the morning of the day. Group A is titled “Japan's Aging Problem and the Happiness of the Elderly”, and Group B is titled “Chinese Measures to Deal with Birth Rate Decline”.

   Yang Xinhai, a student from our school, focused on Chinese marriage customs and proposed the need to "reform the nationwide awareness of marriage", and elaborated his proposal to solve the problem of declining birthrates in our country. Yang Xinhai's presentation was novel, concise and clear, and unanimously approved by the judges. He finally won the championship of Group B and accessed the opportunity to go to Japan for exchanges.
