Features: Oxford and Cambridge are two unusual places on the British Isles. They are about 150 kilometers apart, but people often refer to them together, even using a single word: "Oxbridge." On the spiritual map of this nation, this place is both outstanding and beloved. Oxford, the oldest university in Britain, has nurtured four kings, 46 Nobel laureates, and 25 British prime ministers. In its 800-year history, it has witnessed the rise and fall of the British Empire, the arduous journey of humanity's pursuit of truth and civilization, and has contributed countless master scholars to the world. Although later Cambridge, Harvard, and Yale have made great strides academically, they still cannot shake Oxford's revered status. Eight centuries of cultural heritage have made Oxford synonymous with aristocratic sentiments and elite symbols, and it will continue to inspire young talents to persevere on the path to glory and dreams.
