Hailing from the neighbouring country of Japan, the Japanese international students occupy a significant percentage of all the international students in Fudan. 49 Their energetic and lively presence can be found in every facet of campus life, which in turn facilitates Sino-Japan cross-cultural communication. Since its inception, the Japanese Student Association has strived to organise club activities that are both meaningful and fun, showcasing our country's culture and at the same time also enlivening the campus atmosphere, thereby increasing mutual understanding between local and Japanese students. Their diligent organisation of club activities such as freshmen orientation, Sino-Japan student exchange sessions and Halloween movie screenings has helped to build a bridge between local Chinese and Japanese students in Fudan to learn together, increasing their mutual understanding and appreciation for each other.
