"Foreigners Tell Stories·Overseas Employees See China" Issue 14

Name: Setokou Tomoko

Nationality: Japan

Occupation: Kagoshima Sales Department, China Eastern Airlines Japan Branch General Manager

Setokou Tomoko has served as the general manager of Kagoshima Sales Department, China Eastern Airlines Japan Branch since July 2017, and 2022 is her 20th year of working in China Eastern Airlines , and it also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Kagoshima-Shanghai route. She said, "I am very lucky that I have been on China Eastern Airlines for the past 20 years, connecting my hometown Kagoshima with one of the fastest growing cities in the world - Shanghai, and sharing development opportunities."

Go to contact the more real China

Recently, she is actively coordinating with the local county government for the resumption of the flight and the 20th anniversary promotion activities. She is full of confidence and hope for the recovery of the aviation market. "When the epidemic dissipates, China Eastern Airlines will continue to serve as a bridge connecting China and Japan, so that more Chinese and Japanese friends can face to face, hold hands and hug each other again."

Setoukou Tomoko recalled her heartfelt experience of being sent to Shanghai Airport for training when she first joined the company. "When I was resting between flights, I like to chat with Chinese friends the most, talk about popular TV series, weekend activities, etc.." What she still remembers is that she had an unbearable toothache one night. There was no dentist near the airport, but the pain became more and more serious. The Chinese colleagues around her were very worried about her, so they went to buy painkillers intimately, and patiently told her the route to the city center dental hospital and registration. Later, with the help of her Chinese colleagues, she recovered smoothly.

For Tomoko Setoguchi, what she saw in Shanghai was not only the slim cheongsams, garden villas, and other scenery with profound cultural heritage, but this all-encompassing city also contains rich food and health culture. "Many Chinese people have had the concept of health since childhood and are very knowledgeable about food. Every time I go to China, I will learn about food and health." She tasted the hairy crabs that are loved by Shanghai people, put on " crabs eight ", peeled a crab leg, and took a sip of Huadiao . The exquisiteness of Shanghai is fully visible in the sense of crab tasting. "Crabs should be eaten with ginger. The cold ingredients and warm ingredients complement each other, which is hidden in the details of the diet. " "

" If everyone can have an in-depth understanding of China, communicate more with Chinese friends, and see China with their own eyes, everyone will like China more." Setoguchi Tomoko has always been committed to letting more Japanese friends come into contact with more real China. She joined the Sino-Japanese Friendship Association of Kagoshima Prefecture to carry out various activities, such as convening the elderly around to hold a Chinese cultural tea party, convening Japanese tourist groups to travel to China, and celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival at Japanese airports.

becomes 100% good memories

Looking back on her 20-year career, Seto Guai Tomoko said that she was lucky, and she integrated "passion", "dedication" and "meaning" into her work. During the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, China Eastern Airlines took a charter flight from Shanghai- Tonoshima . Since Tonoshima Airport did not have a bridge facility, she and the agent immediately studied and made a "wooden staircase". After a long period of coordination and business communication, the task of Tonoshima was successfully completed. Recalling the charter flight guarantee, Setoguchi Tomoko said, "Although the first 99% are hard work, when the flight lands smoothly and the passengers come back safely, all units expressed their gratitude to me, and the remaining 1% of the sense of accomplishment eventually turned into 100% of the good memories."

China Eastern Airlines is another home of Setoguchi Tomoko, carrying her laughter and tears, recording her growth and transformation. As the epidemic began around New Year 2020, she immediately contacted the local medical wholesaler, the Pharmacist Association and the Kagoshima Prefecture Government to donate masks to China and ensure that all epidemic prevention materials arrived in Shanghai smoothly.When the epidemic began to spread in Japan, various units in Shanghai also took the initiative to care about Japan's epidemic prevention situation and actively provided material assistance. "I have established good assistive relationships with many units and friends in China, communicate with each other in heart, and take care of each other. I will contact each other occasionally until now, and make an appointment to visit each other after the epidemic." During the epidemic, in terms of overseas employee management, China Eastern Airlines' global video conferencing system and self-developed employee epidemic prevention management app gave Setoguchi Tomoko a 100% sense of security.
