Features: The centennial celebration of Peking University presented a significant opportunity for its development. She seized this opportunity promptly 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 hosting the Higher Education Forum for the Centennial Celebration, welcoming U.S. President Bill Clinton, accommodating Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand for cultural studies, and engaging in dialogue with former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his delegation. These events garnered widespread attention at the time. However, as the organizer or eyewitness to these events, the author's account may provide a more comprehensive and authentic perspective. What makes it particularly valuable is that the author has provided both Chinese and English versions of some historic speeches and dialogues.
