Kato Yoshikazu, born in 1984 Japan, is a graduate from Peking University. His name came into my knowledge through an accidential radio program with respect to Japanese gangsters. Later on, I googled him with some curiosity.

Kato set foot in Beijing in 2003, when the SARS prevailed China. “On my arrival, I have no RMB; unable to speak Chinese; no Chinese friends”, said the youngman in his blog. But now you would be marveled to hear him speaking Chinese. No accent at all! In his newly-published autobiography, he described his effort to achieve such accomplishment. This book also provides me some insight into Japanese characteristics. Worth recommending.

Kato is an active thinker, which makes him a excellent columnist in numbers of prestigious newspapers. The experience of growing up from a poor family endows him with expectional willpower as well as the ability to think on a multi-perspective basis. He is also a man who knows the value of opportunity. His sensitive nationality and being a Peking University exchange student facilitate him to contact international friends, newsmedia and big apples(including Chairman Hu). During these 7 years in China, he visited many remote areas; talked to people in all walks of life; participated in various media activities. He’s been equipped with deep understanding towards Chinese society, which, according to his words, contributes to his future path into Japanese political community.

I give my respect and salute to his young man, for his positive roles in sino-Japanese friendship. He reveals a lively picture of Japanese youngster’s daily life. Due to his description, I developed a interest of exploring Japanese society. As a result, I was watching Japanese drama yesterday.
