Chinese schools in Japan



Chinese Schools in Japan are founded by Huaqiao(overseas Chinese) in Japan for their own children. Currently, over the nation, there are five Chinese schools, two of which are located in the city of Yokohama, the other three were dispersed in the city of Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe respectively. In spite of these, Chinese schools had at once been set up in the city of Hokkaidou,Shizuoka,Kyoto,Shimane and Nagasaki.
How did these schools survive the unrest twentieth century and what will they do to meet the new century's requirements? What influence are they exerting on Huaqiao society? We, faculties from Takushoku University, followed these questions with interest and paid a visit to the extant five schools, interviewed the schools' managers, supervisors, students and their guardians.Now, we will discuss the influence of these schools on Huaqiao society after a brief review of our recent visit.
