Features: The centennial celebration of Peking University provided great opportunities for her development. She seized this opportunity in time and embarked on the journey toward becoming a world-class university. This book presents several events that took place at Yan Yuan, during the centennial celebration, and at the turn of the century from the perspective of international exchanges. These include hosting the Higher Education Forum for the Centennial Celebration, welcoming U.S. President Bill Clinton, receiving Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand for cultural studies, and engaging in dialogue with former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his delegation. These events drew widespread attention at the time. However, as the organizer or eyewitness to these events, the author's account may allow readers to gain a comprehensive view and touch the reality. What makes it particularly valuable is that the author provides both Chinese and English versions of some historical speeches and dialogues.
