Internship Experience
Neusoft Institute of Information Shu Saihu
The greatest lesson I learned through the internship program was to realize Japanese people's earnest work attitudes and their policies regarding work. By drawing on this experience, I would like to become an engineer capable of serving as a bridge between Chinese and Japanese cultures.
