School Profile:
Peking University is the first national comprehensive university in China. It was founded in 1898 and was originally named Imperial University of Peking. It was also the highest educational administrative body in China at that time. As the center of the New Culture Movement and the source of the May Fourth Movement, the birthplace of the earliest dissemination of Marxism and democratic scientific thought in China, and the earliest base of the Communist Party of China, Peking University has made an indelible contribution to the rejuvenation and liberation of the nation. The traditional spirit of patriotism, progress, democracy, and science and the style of study of diligence, rigor, truth-seeking, and innovation are passed down from generation to generation here. In 1917, the famous educator Cai Yuanpei became the president of Peking University. Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Mao Zedong, Lu Xun, Hu Shi and other outstanding talents have served or taught at Peking University.Location:
