Application for RUSSESU Scholarship
My name is Zhao Ruoyu.I come from UIBE（University of International Busine and Economics) as an exchange student.I hope to apply for the RUSSESU scholarship.
Firstly, I would like to make a brief introduction of my study of Japan and the Japanese language.
Speak of my major, you may be surprised because I major in interpreting between Chinese and Korean.You may wonder why I learned Japanese all by myself for that was absolutely not easy work.That is because I was totally attracted by Japanese culture and society,especially their eating habits which reflects wisdom and attitudes towards life.Through the NHK documentary , I got to feel very proud of Japan ,for the reason that after the second world war, Japanese people’s dream was shattered, but their wisdom ,diligence, sense of responsibility and innovation helped them to rebuilt the economy ,the society and then the whole country.So I spared no efforts learning Japanese by myself.Until now , I have learned Japanese for almost three years andhave paed JLPT N1.
Secondly I would like to draw a plan of study at Ritsumeikan University.Although I stay in Japan for only four months, I hope that this period will be the best memory in my life and it can be a plus when I hunt for a job in 2015.As I have learned some courses about economics and marketing before, I will try to connect the knowledge mastered to the courses at Ritsumeikan University, trying to learn more about the history of Japanese economy development.and their modern marketing strategy.At the same time , I will make more communications with our profeors without fear or embarrament.After school ,I will take part in some club activities which is a good chance to get to know more Japanese friends.
Thirdly I intend to introduce my plan after completion of the exchange program.I have applied for a position in HR department in Ali-baba,which is a famous Chinese B2B electronic platform through an internship program.I think it will be a great stage for me to turn the knowledge learned at Ritsumeikan University into practice.After that I may start to hunt for a job in Japanese companies in China which can offer me more chances to go between China and Japan.
Finally I would like to make an explanation that why I try to apply for the scholarship.Last semester I got to know a friend majoring in interpreting between Chinese and Japanese.She lent me a book on Japanese marketing strategy which could only be bought in Japan.Reading the book is just like listening to a lecture by a Japanese profeor which is so fantastic.And I have planned to buy a lot of books in Japan reflecting Japanese society, policy and culture which means that I will have the great honor to be companied by a profeor talking to me even when I go back to China.Besides , as Chinese saying goes reading a lot of books and go traveling a lot makes a person wise.So i hope to go outside, trying to find out more which can not be learned through books in claroom.Only when I melt myself in different cities and different groups ,can it widen my horizons.I wish that when I go back to China , I will be able to talk about Japan from various prospects through my owns as a Chinese college student born after 1990.
