Features: The centennial celebration of Peking University presented a great opportunity for its development. She seized this opportunity in time and embarked on the journey to become a world-class university. The 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 exchange. These include the hosting of the Higher Education Forum for the Centennial Celebration, the reception of U.S. President Bill Clinton, the visit of Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand for cultural studies, and a 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 of these events, the author's account may provide you with a comprehensive overview and a touch of authenticity. What makes it particularly valuable is that the author has provided both Chinese and English versions of some historical speeches and dialogues.
