Features: Peking University inherits the millennia-old tradition of the Imperial Academy of China. This heritage has shaped the university's defining character—"Serving the nation, pursuing knowledge, and striving for self-improvement." The phrase "serving the nation" often led Peking University's students to face setbacks. Yet it was precisely this belief that propelled the university to become a world-class institution. The great figures who choose Peking University as a platform for their speechesly share their research findings because they believe that in the former grand lecture hall, today's auditorium, or the crowded classrooms, they will find their kindred spirits and successors.
