Greetings everyone. I'm Yoshitoshi Mizuya from Japan. I've been working in Beijing since 2004 as chairman of the board of Beijing Sorun Computer Co., Ltd.
I enjoy my life here very much, like studying Chinese every day, jogging along Chaoyang Park in Sunday mornings, and especially talking with my staff at a monthly birthday party.
I've a passion for sports. I've been a runner of Beijing International Marathon, and have won the first place among foreigners in Xi'an City Wall Marathon. Luckily, I'll be still in Beijing when the Olympics is held next year and I've managed to reserve admission tickets for the opening ceremony and several finals.
At present, everyday news about Beijing is broadcast over all TV channels in Japan. My family, friends and colleagues in Japan are all paying close attention to Beijing, longing for a remarkable Olympic Games.
I constantly suggest my staff that we shall make contribution to the society of both China and Japan through the effort of each of us. I hope that I could be an Olympic torchbearer, deepen Sino-Japan friendship with the torchlight. Let's together make an extra effort for Beijing!
Thank you.
大家好，我是来自日本的水谷芳利。2004年由于工作需要我来到了北京，在北京索浪计算机有限公司担任董事长。我非常喜欢现在的生活。每天都学习汉语；每周日都会去朝阳公园，沿着公园跑上一圈；我每月都会请公司过生日的员工吃饭，和员工交流；我喜欢运动，参加过北京、西安举办的国际马拉松比赛并获得了西安环城马拉松赛外国选手组的第一名。幸运的是明年举办奥运会的时候，我还会在北京，我已经成功预定了奥运会开幕式和几场决赛的门票。
现在日本各电视台的新闻里每天都有关于北京的报道，我在日本的家人、朋友、同事都关注着北京，关注着北京奥运，希望北京能举办一届非常出色的奥运会。我经常对公司的员工说要通过我们每个人的努力，为中日两国社会作贡献。我希望成为奥运火炬手，通过火炬加深中日两国人民的友谊，让我们一起为北京加油吧！谢谢！
