229 Another Year Sakurabuki
The graduation season of Japanese middle schools is in March every year, which is the month before the cherry blossoms bloom. Usually this is also the third semester of major middle schools in Japan, so the first and second grade students still have time to learn from their seniors.
Sister said goodbye.
For seniors, their future has basically been determined at this time. Except for a very small number of people who are still fighting for the last opportunity to be admitted, they will either decide to be "ronin" (repeated studies) or choose to go to a junior college or a communication university ( Correspondence university) or part-time university (night university). Fortunately, most Japanese high schools have not only general subjects (for the purpose of entering university), but also so-called specialized subjects (similar to vocational high schools in my country), so If you really don’t want to go to college, you can still work after graduating from high school. But if you want to go to a big city, you should at least go to a junior college to get a foundation.
However, for Azabu High School, everyone's academic performance is definitely not that bleak. After all, other Tokyo high schools only have a few to a dozen students who can advance to Tokyo University or Kyoto University every year, but Azabu High School guarantees a minimum of one-third every year.
One to one-half of the students enter Tokyo University and Kyoda, the only two S-level universities in Japan; the remaining students are also admitted to AA-level universities. If you accidentally fall into an A-level university, you will be a bit unlucky in the class.
Sorry. Yes, as the "Gosan" of all boys' high schools in Japan, the seniors of Azabu High School are so capable!
Since Azabu High School only recruits more than a hundred students every year, graduation photos are taken very quickly. As graduates, all the procedures today are organized by the student union, organized by the first and second grade students. This can also be regarded as an incentive to go to school.
Brother, let’s let everyone know about our glorious tradition. At the same time, we can also show parents how respectful we are as brothers and sisters on campus.
"Lin Jun, have you decided who to give your buttons to?" Uchino Jingping asked.
Like Lin Junxiu, Uchino Yasuhei was also admitted to the University of Tokyo. In addition, Uchino also chose Tokyo University's liberal arts category three, and it was also a liberal arts department. However, Lin Junxiu's final major was history and culture, and Uchino Yasuhei
It is the subject of language and culture.
"Huh? Can boys give each other buttons?" Lin Junxiu asked in surprise.
Even Lin Junxiu in China has heard of the culture of "giving buttons" to Japanese graduates. In fact, the culture of giving buttons originated from the Japanese military expedition that year, and it was only the second one. The result is in the imagination of the Chinese people.
Then, one button turned into five buttons, and the meaning of each button and the recipient of the gift were clearly arranged.
But the problem is that most high school uniforms in Japan are suits, and there are only two buttons for boys and girls! Do you plan to force boys to remove the buttons on their shirts? After removing them, boys will
You're naked! Although it's not a big deal in China for a boy to go shirtless, in Japan it's considered a serious scandal. Besides, there are high schools in Japan like Azabu High School that don't require uniforms. If someone wears a pullover,
What about shirts or T-shirts? Do boys need to unbutton their pants?
In fact, after entering the 1990s, second-button culture has become a thing of the past in Japan. Especially after the arrival of the new century, many young Japanese people sneer at "button culture", thinking that it is a "button culture" of their parents' generation.
Old-fashioned customs".
And more importantly, in Lin Junxiu's impression, doesn't the story of the second button only happen between boys and girls? Is it true that boys and boys are the only ones in a boys' school?
"Haha, actually buttons are not as complicated as you think." Jingping Uchino thought that Lin Junxiu was a person who did not understand student culture very well, so he estimated that Lin Junxiu had been poisoned by many Japanese pure love novels.
"When you graduate, you can ask for a second button from someone you respect or like. Even the 'like' here is not necessarily the kind of 'love' between men and women, it may simply be the love between friends. I I went to an all-boys school in junior high school, and when I graduated, I gave my buttons to the juniors in my club. With Mr. Lin’s reputation in this school, I guess there will be many juniors asking for Mr. Lin’s buttons, and Mr. Lin will be in trouble.”
After listening to Uchino Jingping's explanation, I dare to think that this second button also has a meaning similar to the "dog beating stick" of the Beggar Clan or the "ring" of the Xiaoyao Sect. Does it represent inheritance? Faced with those junior students who asked for buttons from themselves, Lin Junxiu The impression suddenly became much better. Very good, you just admire the achievements of your seniors, rather than coveting the body of your seniors. However, if you didn't have that damn and weird blush on your face, Lin Junxiu would believe Uchino Jingping's statement more .
Lin Junxiu finally gave his button to Minami Kousuke, the new director of the table tennis club. At the same time, Lin Junxiu also kept one of his men's singles gold medals in the club. After all, the table tennis club does not have national awards for team competitions, so The appearance of the only IH conference seemed too shabby. Anyway, I still have a men's singles gold medal and a men's doubles gold medal, so let one go out to support the students.
Sure enough, when Lin Junxiu expressed his willingness to donate a gold medal, a group of teenagers hugged Lin Junxiu and cried bitterly. The scene was so beautiful!
For other schools, you may have to go your separate ways after graduating from high school, but this is not the case for Azabu High School. The students who entered the University of Tokyo in this year's high school account for more than 70% of the graduates, so everyone When the semester starts in April, we can meet again at Tokyo University. We may not be in the same class or even the same department, but we are all in the same university.
Even if others are not admitted to Tokyo University, they will choose the so-called "Morning College" (Waseda, Keio, Kamichi, Meiji, Aoyamain, Rikkyo, Chuo and Hosei, eight first-tier private universities in Tokyo). In the heart of Tokyo, it is so easy to meet each other, so everyone is smiling.
The only ones who feel sad may be a few students who go to Kyoto University or "Kankan Dori" (four first-tier private universities in the Kansai region, including Kansai University, Kansai Gakuin, Doshisha and Ritsumeikan). After all, they are not the same as others. People are different in Tokyo, they are really scattered in Kyoto, Osaka and Hyogo.
There was only two weeks between the graduation ceremony of Azabu High School and the opening ceremony of the University of Tokyo, and the cherry blossoms were in bloom at this time. When the wind blew, the cherry blossoms scattered all over the sky like snowflakes. As in previous years, Tokyo University chose April 12th. Their spring entrance ceremony was held at Budokan. Budokan is Japan’s “Kokugikan”, and it seems that this identity can support the special status of the University of Tokyo in Japan’s educational community.
In addition to being a freshman and listening to the professors' welcome speeches, Lin Junxiu also has to speak on stage as a "new voice representative." Usually, the Dongda General Assembly chooses freshmen from the Department of Medicine or the Faculty of Law as representatives. After all, these two departments are the only representatives of Dongda University.
It is a signature department. However, Lin Junxiu’s reputation is loud and outstanding enough. At the same time, when Dongda announced Lin Junxiu’s admission, it also announced Lin Junxiu’s essay that passed the AO examination at that time.
The difficulty of the AO exam is obvious to all in Japanese society. Most Japanese people still believe that Tokyo University will not change the AO exam standards for Lin Junxiu to ruin the reputation of their school. In addition, Lin Junxiu's thesis has been recognized by Tokyo University.
It has also been published in professional journals through peer review, so the value of the paper is sufficient. Therefore, when Junxiu Lin finally entered Dongda University through the ordinary college entrance examination, the society still mainly praised him.
"It's a pity that Mr. Chizuru's speech "Society is waiting for you, even if you try hard, may not succeed." Otherwise, the social section of the Japanese newspaper will explode tomorrow." Lin Junxiu thought narrowly while preparing the speech.
.
In 2019, Chizuruko, a professor of sociology at the University of Tokyo, delivered a freshman entrance speech with the theme "The world is not fair, and hard work may not succeed." In addition to giving freshmen a heads-up, the speech also criticized Japan, including Tokyo University.
Discrimination against women in education in the education sector and Japanese society.
In an era when social media has almost taken over the entire society, Professor Chizuru's speech naturally quickly detonated the entire Japanese public opinion, and also spread to the entire Asia and even the world.
However, he is a professor and a well-known social activist, so such a speech must be in line with his status; if it were Lin Junxiu, he would definitely not be able to escape the label of "not knowing the heights of the sky". Therefore, Lin Junxiu could only write a speech in a satisfactory manner.
, and eliminate any sensitive topics from the manuscript.
On the 12th, Koishi Takaki specially drove Lin Junxiu and Hayashi Naomi to the Budokan in Chiyoda District. Lin Junxiu, who has always taken a casual route, specially changed into a very standard three-piece British suit, although British suits are very restrictive.
Human actions, but I have to say that this is the most standard "shirt" for men. Lin Junxiu grew his hair slightly longer, instead of choosing the short cut that is common among high school students, and also put on a pair of black-rimmed flat glasses, which looks good
He appears to be more restrained and connotative.
Before entering the Budokan, Lin Junxiu did not hesitate to take photos in front of the "Tokyo University Freshman Entrance Ceremony" flower plaque at the entrance. In addition to taking a few solo photos, Lin Junxiu also took a few photos with Lin Naomi.
.The sky is full of cherry blossoms, the sunshine is bright, and the boy in the mirror is still as clear as water.
As a popular teenage idol in Japan, Lin Junxiu was quickly recognized by other freshmen. Moreover, many of the freshmen were his classmates at Azabu High School, so Lin Junxiu was taken for a photo by his high school classmates. Obviously at the graduation ceremony
Less than two weeks after the group photo was taken at the entrance ceremony, everyone excitedly took a group photo again at the entrance ceremony. Men's fun is indeed simple!
Compared to being surrounded by a group of boys, Lin Junxiu is more looking forward to being surrounded by a group of young ladies. However, his classmates have basically lived as monks for three years, and they have probably lost their ability to hunt women, so they insist on pestering Lin Junxiu.
Don't let go.
In the end, after Lin Junxiu had to threaten them that if they didn't let go of him, they would wash themselves off and wait for him at night, before they left reluctantly. But what surprised Lin Junxiu was that one of his classmates said ambiguously that he could wash them off.
Wait for yourself! What the hell is this?
Seeing Lin Junxiu and teenagers of the same age playing around, Koishi Takashu smiled like an uncle. He almost forgot that his boss was still a young man who had just grown up. After all, his boss's maturity made him think
He was facing an old fox who had been in the workplace and shopping malls for decades. Only at this moment did Koishi Takaki feel that his boss was still a teenager.
There are three levels of seats in the Budokan, and including the temporary extra seats in the venue, only this capacity can accommodate the new students and their parents. For every Japanese family, it is worth bragging that their children are admitted to the University of Tokyo.
It is a long-term ceremony. Therefore, the child’s entrance ceremony is absolutely not to be missed. No matter you are in Okinawa Prefecture in the south or Hokkaido in the north, parents will try their best to come. Even grandparents, as long as they are in good health,
Will come with you.
It is no surprise that Lin Junxiu is the representative of freshmen this time. Although Lin Junxiu studied in the Department of Literature, Category III, which is relatively easy to get into at Tokyo University, Lin Junxiu’s record of ranking first in liberal arts in admissions is
It’s not fake. Although there is another one who ranks first in science, but comparing the looks of the two, even ordinary students will know who to choose as the representative. After all, most humans are still visual animals, and neither men nor women
