The Japan Times interviews a Japanese manga artist and his young Chinese wife, who is the subject of her husband’s latest manga: “Chugoku Yome Nikki” (Daily Records of a Chinese Wife), whose English title is “A Chinese Wife and an Otaku Husband,” will go on sale Friday.
Then why do you want to have your child attend elementary school in China?
Yue: It’s better for kids to learn both Chinese and Japanese.
Junichi: And Yue says the level of Japanese schools is lower than that in China.
Yue: They don’t teach much to kids. Kindergartens and elementary schools in Japan just let children play.
Do children in China need to compete much harder at school than in Japan?
Yue: Yes.
Junichi: I saw the textbooks used by her sister’s children. They are much more difficult than those in Japanese schools. They are given much more homework, too. I don’t think Japanese schools are good at all.
