重庆轻轨2号线佛图关站外，有一面轻轨建设者手印墙，虽紧邻穿楼而过的网红景点李子坝站，却鲜为人知。这面墙上不仅有中国工程师的手印，还有参与建设的日本友人的手印。

“这条轻轨见证了日本与重庆的交流友谊，我希望这面墙作为日中友好合作的纪念与见证，让两国民众特别是年轻人了解。”5月17日，日本国驻重庆总领事小松道彦向媒体记者介绍，日本国驻重庆总领事馆今年将在重庆开展的友好交流活动。轻轨建设者纪念公园，正是他最期待的事之一。

“我向重庆市政府外事侨务办提出这个想法后不久，就得到了他们的积极协调和支持。通过与重庆轨道交通集团有关部门沟通，手印墙改造工作目前正在筹备中。不久的将来，那里将会改造成一个小型的轻轨建设者纪念公园。”小松道彦说，“今年是日中和平友好条约缔结40周年。5月初，李克强总理成功访问日本，标志着中日关系进入合作新时代。早在1985年，当时还是共青团中央书记处候补书记的李克强以副团长身份访问日本，这是新中国第一个访日青年代表团。时隔33年，他以总理的身份再次访问日本。”小松道彦认为，青少年交流对中日关系改善具有非常重要的作用和意义。相信中日双方都遵循和践行中日和平友好条约，必将使两国关系得到改善，加深合作、携手共进。

2017年9月，小松道彦来渝就任日本国驻重庆总领事，是他与重庆的第二次相逢，第一次是在十多年前来重庆旅游。“重庆过去十余年的变化可谓是翻天覆地。我现在在重庆工作，亲眼目睹重庆日新月异的发展，亲身体验重庆山水之城的魅力，对重庆的发展速度感叹不已，对重庆的喜爱之情不断加深！”小松道彦这样评价重庆。

虽然在重庆工作生活的时间还不是很长，但小松道彦的生活里已经充满了很多重庆元素。因为觉得重庆话好听而特意去看《雾都夜话》，对电影《从你的全世界路过》《二次初恋》里的重庆元素赞不绝口；他还是重庆小面店的常客，忙里偷闲的时光还会去洪崖洞寻觅一间茶馆放松一下……“想让更多的重庆人了解日本、让更多的日本人了解重庆，促进重庆与日本的交流合作。”小松道彦告诉记者，这是他的梦想。

上任半年以来，小松道彦致力于促进开展中日青少年文化交流活动。4月22日，日本国驻重庆总领事馆组织在渝日本人组成“麻辣子”棒球队，与重庆巴蜀常春藤中学校联合举办了“中日棒球交流会”。此次交流活动共有将近150人参加，活动深受日方球队、校方、学生和家长的好评。5月6日，日本国驻重庆总领事馆中野副领事出席重庆小森日语教室举行的“日本儿童节”活动，小朋友体验了制作鲤鱼旗、寿司等日本传统文化。

距离2020东京奥运会越来越近，随着高尔夫和棒球相继回归奥运会，日本国驻重庆总领事馆今年还将在重庆重点推进体育交流项目。据小松道彦透露，今年6月10日，在重庆市体育总会的大力支持下，第一届重庆市中日高尔夫友谊赛将在上邦高尔夫球场举行。届时将有50名中国队员和50名日本队员参加比赛。另外，去年曾邀请邓荻先生开展中日乒乓球交流，今年计划继续举行。邓荻是地地道道的重庆人，在东京开办了乒乓球俱乐部，教日本人打乒乓球。他曾是四川省体工队专业乒乓球运动员，多次获日本专业乒乓球比赛全国冠军。

据介绍，今年暑假在日本国驻重庆总领事馆官邸将继续举办“小记者”活动。这是日本国驻重庆总领事馆每年寒暑假都会举行的活动，让重庆的小学生了解日本的概况和文化。10月，还将邀请著名动画片《铁臂阿童木》的制片人黑川庆二郎先生来重庆开讲座，他非常提倡青少年要敢于追求梦想。同时，还计划举办日本旅游展、留学说明会、日语演讲比赛、日本电影节等相关活动。

Outside the Fotuoguan Station of Chongqing Light Rail Line 2 stands a handprint wall of the light rail builders. Despite its adjacency to the Liziba Station, an online attraction famous for the Line 2 piercing through the building, the wall per se is rarely known. It gathers not only the fingerprints of Chinese engineers, but also the Japanese friends’ who participated in the construction.

“This light rail has witnessed the friendly exchange between Japan and Chongqing. I hope this wall will serve as a commemorative and testimony of the friendly cooperation between Japan and China, which will enable the two peoples, especially young people, to understand each other.” On May 17, the Japanese Consul-General in Chongqing, Mr.Komatsu Michihiko told the media reporters that the Japanese Consulate General in Chongqing will conduct friendly exchange activities in Chongqing this year. The Light Rail Builder Memorial Park stands among the list of his most anticipated things.

“Shortly after the proposal of this idea to the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the Chongqing Municipal Government, I received their active coordination and support. Through communication with the relevant departments of the Chongqing Rail Transit Group, the face-lift of the handprint wall is currently under preparation. In the near future, it will be transformed into a small light rail builder memorial park.” Komatsu added, “This year marks the 40th anniversary of the conclusion of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship.In early May, Prime Minister Li Keqiang’s successful visit to Japan is emblematic of the commencement of a new era of cooperation between China and Japan.Early in 1985, Li Keqiang, the then alternate secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Communist Youth League, visited Japan as deputy head of delegation,which was the first Chinese youth delegation visit to Japan since 1949. After a period of 33 years, he again visited Japan as a prime minister." It is believed that youth exchanges have a very important role and significance in improving Sino-Japanese relations;and it is also believed that both China and Japan are following and practicing the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship, which will surely improve bilateral relations, deepen cooperation and boost mutual exchange.

In September 2017, Komatsu assumed office as the Japanese consul general in Chongqing: his second rendez-vous with the place. His first time here dates back to more than a decade ago. “Chongqing's changes over the past decade have been earthshaking. I am now working in Chongqing and witnessing the rapid development of Chongqing. I have personally experienced the charm of Chongqing as a city of mountains and waters, and am amazed by the pace of development in Chongqing. My love for Chongqing continues to grow. !" Komatsu commented.

Having not worked and lived in Chongqing for long, the life of the consul-general has been filled with an assortment of Chongqing elements. He watched the local TV show “Sleepless in the Foggy City” for he found the dialect rhythmically beautiful;he also gives thumbs-ups to the Chongqing-featured film “I belonged to you” and “A Second First Love”;a frequent eater to Chongqing noodle shops and stalls, he could also be found sipping fine tea at a tea house in the Hongyadong Stilted House Complex from time to time, despite his tight schedule... "We want more people in Chongqing to understand Japan and the other way around and to promote exchanges and cooperation between Chongqing and Japan."Komatsu told the reporters that this is what he hopes to happen.

Over his six months’ stay in Chongqing, Komatsu has been committed to promoting the cultural exchange activities between young people of China and Japan. On April 22nd, the Japanese Consulate General in Chongqing organized the Japanese expatriates in Chongqing to form "Malazi" baseball team and co-hosted "Sino-Japanese Baseball Exchange" with Chongqing Bashu Ivy League Middle School. A total of nearly 150 participants pitched in the exchange activity and the event was well received by the Japanese team, the school, the students and parents. On May 6th, the vice-consul of the Japanese Consulate General in Chongqing attended the "Japan Children's Day" event held in Chongqing Komori Japanese Classroom, where the children experienced Japanese traditional culture such as the making of koinobori and sushi.

As the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games draws closer, with the return of golf and baseball to the Olympic Games, the Japanese Consulate General in Chongqing will also promote sports exchange projects in Chongqing this year. According to the consul-general, on June 10 this year, with the staunch support of the Chongqing Sports Federation, the first Chongqing China-Japan Golf Friendly Tournament will be held at Shangbang Golf Course. There will be 50 Chinese players and 50 Japanese counterparts participating in the competition. In addition, last year, Mr. Deng Di was invited to join the Sino-Japanese table tennis exchange and he is expected to present this year as well. Deng Di is an out-andout Chongqing native who runs a table tennis club in Tokyo and teaches the Japanese to play table tennis.He used to be a professional table tennis player in the Sichuan Province Sports Team and has won numerous national championships in professional table tennis competitions in Japan.

Reports came that in the summer vacation of this year, "Little Reporters" activities will be held in the official residence of the Japanese Consulate General in Chongqing. This is an event held every winter and summer vacations by the Japanese Consulate General in Chongqing to enable pupils in Chongqing to understand Japan’s profile and culture.In October, Mr. Kurokawa, the producer of the famous manga series“Astro Boy”, will be invited to give a lecture in Chongqing. He strongly encourages young people to dare to pursue their dreams. At the same time, a series of activities, featuring Japan Tourism Exhibition, Overseas Study Instruction,Japanese-Speaking Speech Competition, Japanese Film Festival, to cite but a few, are under plan.
