Features: University is a place to pursue dreams, and Peking University is the temple of my dreams! A person of learning should be steady and solid; vision and character should be vibrant; roots must be deeply rooted in the earth, while branches must stretch straight to the sky; one must be able to bear burdens, shoulder responsibilities, be able to let go of their hands and feet, and forge their own way. I have visited many universities around the world—American, European, Japanese, and Russian. I can say that the level of your students is the highest, and you should be proud to have such students. In the past, it was often said that Peking University is China's Harvard, and now I must say that Harvard is also America's Peking University. — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton
Peking University is a renowned academic center that has had a profound impact on China's scientific and cultural life for a long time. Many outstanding scholars have started their journey at Peking University and have made significant contributions to higher education, global awareness, and social progress. This contribution has never been more important than it is today. To fully harness the potential of the United Nations and address the challenges faced by an increasingly complex world, we must urge the political and intellectual communities to take on this task. — Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan
This is truly a sacred place. For nearly a century, it has nurtured generations of the most outstanding scholars in China, with profound knowledge, brilliant talent, and fearless, independent thinking. All of this is combined with upright integrity and a courageous spirit of resistance, creating a unique spiritual charm. Science and democracy have become the immortal soul of this sacred place.
