Vice President Toshi Akio of Fukuyama University said that summer camp activities have always been the most popular activity among Confucius Institute students. Recently, the epidemic situation in Japan has been severe, and various basic activities and exchanges such as travel and gatherings have been greatly restricted. Therefore, Japan and China are connected through the Internet to hold this year's summer camp together, which has become a valuable opportunity for Japanese students to have in-depth exchanges with Chinese teachers and students. He hoped that Japanese college students could make full use of this opportunity and spend a happy and wonderful time with Chinese teachers and students. At the same time, we also hope that students will deepen their interest in Chinese and Chinese culture through this activity, and forge deep friendships through in-depth exchanges with Chinese teachers and students.

During the Sino-Japanese student exchange session, Chinese students and Japanese students introduced the customs of their hometowns and the lifestyle of young people with carefully prepared PPTs, which left a deep impression on each other.
