The University of Tokyo is Japan's first national university and one of the earliest universities established in Asia, widely regarded as Japan's and Asia's premier institution of higher learning. Its origins trace back to the Meiji period, when it was formed by the merger of the Tokyo Kōsei School and the Tokyo Medical School. Tracing its roots even further, it evolved from the "Rangaku" institutions established during the feudal period—the "Astronomy Department," the Chōhōba Academy of Learning, and the smallpox inoculation center. In the early years of the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government introduced the "New School System," and in 1877, under the Ministry of Education's directive, the two schools were merged and officially named the University of Tokyo. At that time, the university already had a substantial student body of over 500, offering four faculties—Literature, Law, Science, and Medicine. Soon afterward, the Tokyo School of Law, administered jointly by the Ministry of Education, was incorporated into the university and became part of its Faculty of Law. In 1886, the Meiji government, in response to national needs and to cultivate individuals with a sense of national ideology, issued the "Imperial University Ordinance," renaming the University of Tokyo as an Imperial University and adopting a specialized university system. The previously independently administered engineering university under the Ministry of Public Works, the Tokyo Agricultural and Forestry School and the Forest School under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, which were merged to form the Agricultural University, respectively became the Engineering and Agricultural Universities of the Imperial University system. The original faculties were reorganized into the Law and Political Science University, Medical University, Liberal Arts University, and Science University, and graduate schools were established, thus transforming the institution into a true university. Following the enactment of the "Degree Ordinance" in 1887, doctoral and higher doctoral degrees were introduced. During this period, each Imperial University adopted its local name, and to distinguish them, the term "Tokyo" was prefixed to the name of the Imperial University, further emphasizing its role as a model for other universities. At this time, the school's administrative structure also underwent changes, with the specialized university system being reorganized into a faculty system. The Faculty of Law established a Department of Commerce, which later expanded and was elevated to the Faculty of Economics after ten years. Over the decades leading up to the war, Tokyo Imperial University experienced significant development across all areas, producing tens of thousands of graduates, many of whom rose to national leadership positions. After the Second World War, the military-imperial educational model was eliminated, institutional and bureaucratic inefficiencies were addressed, and the word "Imperial" was dropped from the university's name, restoring the original name of the University of Tokyo. The reformed University of Tokyo established new faculties such as the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Education, and also incorporated its former affiliated medical faculties, the First High School, and Tokyo High School. Within the existing faculties, new faculties were further established, and a series of research institutes and centers were subsequently founded. Today, the University of Tokyo has grown into a comprehensive university with 10 undergraduate schools, 11 graduate schools, 12 research institutes, and tens of thousands of faculty and students. When, in 1986, university presidents and administrative leaders from Asia voted to select ten world-renowned universities, the University of Tokyo was chosen as the sole representative from Asia—a proud achievement that fully reflects its academic excellence. Gao Liang had never imagined in his dreams that he would ever visit the University of Tokyo, and now he feels certain that his trip to Japan has been well worth it. If possible, he would like to pursue postgraduate studies at this university, to learn the most cutting-edge knowledge and technologies, and then return to serve his homeland. As he is lost in such thoughts, a group of beautiful Japanese girls in school uniforms approaches, playing and chasing each other. Kicking a毽, a beautiful velvet-feathered one, vividly colored and striking to the eye, under the brilliant sunlight, you and I take turns, the female students dressed in the elegant university uniforms that high-light had seen online—white, casual tops with pink bow ties at the neck, paired with short skirts that reach mid-thigh, gracefully unfolding like folded lotus leaves as they extend their legs, swaying gently in the breeze. A group of pure and graceful Japanese university women. High-light has cultivated a strong inner spirit, once journeying through time to the Song Dynasty and encountering Pan Jin-lian; through this spiritual training, he finds it easier to remain unaffected by ordinary beauty. He merely admires this group of Japanese women. Moreover, he still feels a sense of attachment and longing for his primary wife, Zhang Yu-ping, his secondary wife, Dong Jiao, and his tertiary wife, Chen Yu-ting. "Whoosh!" The beautiful毽 is sent low, skimming past a girl's side kick, and arcs toward High-light. "Ha ha! We're going to win! Hihi!" The girl who had performed the side kick burst into joyful excitement. "We won't lose! We absolutely won't lose! I'll intercept!" A bright, confident girl stepped forward bravely, like a flower butterfly rushing headlong toward the shuttlecock. However, due to her eagerness, her long leather boots slipped on a small stone beneath her foot, causing her balance to instantly falter. "Ah!" she cried out in a delicate gasp, plunging toward the hard cement floor. If she landed squarely, it would surely be a disaster. All the girls were filled with panic. The beautiful girl closed her eyes in despair. As she did so, she felt herself collide with someone's body, and a strong, masculine scent seeped into her delicate nose. By instinct, she recognized a certain familiarity. Moreover, that wasn't the crucial matter—what truly mattered was the electric connection between her lips and something else. Wait—how could it be so soft, so warm, so sweetly comforting? She immediately opened her eyes. Wow! My goodness! I actually kissed a man right in front of everyone! I'm so embarrassed. The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, "It's you!" It turned out that Gao Liang had only been admiring these girls and was about to leave when, upon turning around, he was suddenly knocked off balance by a Japanese girl rushing toward him. As they locked eyes, Gao Liang realized that the most striking girl was actually Mei Huizi, and Mei Huizi recognized him too. This second public kiss left Mei Huizi blushing deeply, her cheeks flushed and her neck lowered in shy delight. The other girls immediately fell into a state of admiration, noticing that Gao Liang was even more handsome than the current Japanese male celebrities. "Wow! So handsome! So cool! It would be wonderful if he were my boyfriend!" one after another murmured. "We've won!" the girl who had just performed a side kick still beaming proudly said, "The one who loses will pay for the dinner!" "Just as Meguri was about to respond, Gao Liang casually tossed the shuttlecock from his hands and gave the girls a cheerful smile, saying, 'Ladies! See who can catch it—whichever one does is the winner!' Each girl looked up toward the sky, raising both hands and moving them back and forth, hoping to catch it. But the shuttlecock, once gently tossed by Gao Liang, soared high into the air, vanishing completely from sight. The girls grew dizzy, and after looking straight ahead, they realized the shuttlecock had already landed. 'Oh! Hurry! Hurry and catch it!' the girls were now in a state of complete chaos.
