Features: What is a "lecture"? Scholars speak on the stage, and students listen in their seats. Someone once "joked" that while classes at Peking University could be skipped, lectures could never be missed. Today, in our campus, bulletin boards are filled with various lecture announcements. Before the lectures, classrooms are packed with students, desks covered with items used to claim seats. During the lectures, there is an enlightening awakening, and after the lectures, there are questions, debates, and deep reflections. All of this has become a distinctive campus scene at Peking University. Through this scene, you can see the "residents" traditionally considered to be within the ivory tower, begin to reflect on themselves within the campus; you can also see the outside world, with admiration, curiosity, and inquiry, watching the hurried scholars within the tower, even beginning to pause on campus and linger. Lectures not only enrich the spiritual depth of this sacred land but also make this ancient campus more vibrant and youthful, becoming a valuable spiritual treasure for Peking University students.
