+Subject: [FWI] (important) About your stay with FWI
+Date: Fri, 30 May 2025 14:59:24 +0900
-  * [[:public:meeting2024|Group meetings in 2024]].
+Hello members of FWI,
-  * [[:public:learning2024|Book reading in 2024]]
-  * [[:public:discussion2024|Individual discussion with Prof. Zhao in 2024]]
+I am writing you to share some important information.
+First, I have decided not to accept Chinese student for this year
+except for those who already has had my offer. This decision has
+already been posted to the homepage of our website.
+Second, please read carefully the "Public information at FWI".
+I want to make it sure that everyone understand and follow Japanese
+rules (even if you may have different opinions), especially
+international students as the proverb says, "When in Rome, do as
+the Romans do."
+Third, I strongly ask everyone to focus on research when you are
+with this group. Here is Kyoto University, a place famous for the
+quality of research. This is especially important to international
+students as you need to do better than average Japanese students
+in order to get respect from the Japanese society.
+For the last issue, I plan to put more efforts in supervising your
+research and will ask you follow my suggestions strictly in doing
+research (unless you do better than me). Roughly speaking, to get
+the PhD degree in 5 years (from the first year of master course),
+I consider usually students needs to work 8 hours (or 4 hours if
+you have a lot of lectures) a day. This include Saturdays and weekdays
+in the Summer/Winter/Spring vacations.
