Features: What is Harvard? Can Harvard be visited freely? Where does Harvard get its massive funding from? How are the university presidents chosen? These are questions that anyone interested in Harvard would ask. With the same curiosity, the author had the opportunity to visit Harvard twice in recent years, jotting down notes whenever he encountered something new compared to his past experiences. At first, these notes were shared only within a small circle of students and friends, and everyone showed great interest. Thus, he slightly organized them and compiled this small book. Through many scenes, events, or documents in Harvard University that are often overlooked by general media, this book presents the unique and profound details of a top-tier university, revealing the spiritual foundation that supports the material civilization of developed countries. These seemingly insignificant and fleeting glimpses may be exactly what we should pay attention to and reflect on: while the modernization of material civilization can advance rapidly, the shaping of a spiritual and cultural homeland requires more vision, patience, and an inclusive mindset. Today, Harvard is not just a university but also the pinnacle and model of modern civilization's development. From a unique perspective, the author presents Harvard in a photo-illustrated manner. We believe that readers will, like us, gain their own insights and reflections by glimpsing the scenery and landscapes from this mountain peak, understanding the essence of Harvard.
