Photo exhibition highlights life in China's border regions

Yang Zengguo, a researcher at the Center of Japanese Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai, also attended the exhibition. He said: "Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, Japan has been sending envoys to China, and the exchange between our two nations has a long history. We hope this exchange continues."

Yang called on both governments to enhance cooperation in promoting people-to-people exchanges, creating opportunities, and expanding channels for deepening mutual understanding and trust.

Kiyomi Seno, chairman of the Japan-China Society, emphasized the significance of the people living in China's border regions, who frequently interact with neighboring countries.

"Through trade and cultural exchanges, they live much like any other people. These photos give us a clear view of their lives," Seno said.

He also stressed the importance of mutual understanding and communication between Japan and China, highlighting that when unexpected incidents occur, understanding their background and causes is crucial.

"Problems are inevitable in every country, but how we address and resolve them is what truly matters," he said.
