[Work location] Kochi Prefecture

[Job Title] Special Foundation Construction

I used to work as an arc welder in China. However, because my children's tuition fees were so high, I wanted to earn more money, so I came to Japan in 2017.

At my current company, I became a Specified Skilled Worker (i) and was taken on company trips.
On my last trip, I went to Okinawa and was able to see the sea of Japan for the first time.
The city where I grew up didn't have a sea, so I was surprised at how beautiful the sea was. The fruits I ate during the trip were also very delicious.

My favorite pastime on my days off is mountain climbing.
I travel alone to Kochi Prefecture and other prefectures to climb mountains and train my body.
The most beautiful mountain I've ever seen was in Aichi Prefecture. I want to find even more beautiful mountains and take on the challenge.
