Features: What kind of lectures does Peking University hold? The speakers must establish their words and character, teach knowledge and resolve doubts, while the listeners must go beyond the books, rise above the texts, and understand society. Each lecture is an interactive exchange between the speaker and the listener. At the brilliant moments, there may be thunderous applause or profound silence with a sense of relief; at the points of disagreement, there may be murmurs or angry departures. Sometimes, a single question from a listener brings more intellectual value to the audience than a long monologue from the speaker. The listeners include both young students and elderly teachers. White hair and black hair share the same classroom, where wisdom and ideas flow. In this material age, this is one of the most moving sights. Over a hundred years, Peking University's educational philosophy has emphasized different aspects at different times due to various factors, but the principle of "inclusive and open" continues to persist in its lecture activities.
