（２）Name： WANG JINGXIAN

１．Charms of Sakai City Sakai is situated in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. As one of Japan's largest port cities, Sakai was known for its Samurai swords and remains the manufacturing center for the country's highest-quality knives. For foreign students like me, I think Sakai is full of happiness. I used to live in Shinsaibashi. Ever since I settled to Sakai, I have found that not only has the quality of life enhanced, but the daily expenses have also decreased. Compared with the bustling hustle of Osaka city, after a hard-working day wandering on the silent street, you can feel peace and warmth. Without the cover of high buildings, I can see the same moon as my family see in China. Although sometimes I feel homesick, I still feel vitality from the people who work hard to live. After coming to Sakai City, I feel that I have a close relationship with the locals. Every Friday, the Japanese language classroom of the public hall can thrill me. Through the communication with volunteer teachers, I've learned the culture of Sakai city that makes my life here more fulfilling. Joy can be shared on. Seeing the smiles of the choir members next to the Japanese classroom, I can feel the city is full of happiness.

２．OPU promotions Osaka Prefecture University(OPU) is one of the largest public universities in Japan. In 2022, Osaka Prefecture University and Osaka City University will merge. The new university will become the Japanese largest public university which has the potential to be the best university in Japan. The advantages of OPU are not only reflected in the scale, but also in its geographical location. On the one hand, a secluded environment is suitable for people to concentrate on research. On the other hand, if you want to go to Osaka city, you can get there in 30 minutes by metro. In addition, the employment rate

of graduates at OPU is also high. Hence, OPU is a very good choice for students who want to work in Kansai area after graduation. The study life in OPU is also colorful. Since the covid-19 broke out, doing research in school has become very challenging. Even under such circumstances, the teachers and classmates in the research group still gave me a lot of help, which made me felt very warm. Furthermore, the teachers in the Employment Support Office do their best to help foreign students. I got to know students of different nationalities through participating in OPU's international activities. It was a very interesting experience for me.

３．Writer’s research and academic exchange at OPU, and aspiration based on the research at OPU. The research I am doing at OPU is the extension of my research in China. When I was in the third year of university, I participated in the National College Students' Mechanical Innovation Design Competition. As the captain of the team, I led team members to design a novel apple harvesting tool. When I came to Japan, I turned my attention to the problems that came from insufficient production of agriculture. In order to achieve the automation of agricultural machinery, I am doing relevant research on automatic control of the system. I think this research can be used not only in agricultural machinery, but also in the development of the automobile and aviation industry. In the future, I want to use the knowledge I mastered in Japan to develop agricultural machinery automation technology that supports human life in Japan with people from different fields. After accumulating work experience in Japan, I want to become the bridge of technological communication between China and Japan. If possible, I would also like to be active on the world stage and contribute to the development of the international community.
