$These lines weren’t painted. They formed in the kiln. Clay and glaze shrink at different rates as they cool. The resulting stress causes the glaze to crack—a defect that potters learned to work with, turning fracture into pattern.

Understanding people goes a long way in understanding the Chinese market. Prof. Zhang Ying from the Guanghua School of Management explains why cultural understanding matters when marketing to consumers in China today. “For a business to succeed, decision-makers have to be here; they have to live among the Chinese consumers. It won't work just by looking at the numbers.” Do you agree? —— PKU Open Question

When people think of China's metropolises and skyscrapers, Beijing and Shanghai might come to mind first. But what if those soaring towers rose deep within the mountains of southwest China? For her Urban Design Project, Carolin Esser, a German student at Peking University Guanghua School of Management, reached out to her friend Yang Rui (Yuri) from the 2020 cohort of Peking University School of Foreign Languages. A simple call soon turned into a weekend in the 8D magic city, Chongqing.

How long should you look at a Chinese painting? Associate Prof. Liu Chen, also the associate dean of the School of Arts, invites you to "walk into" a Chinese hand-scroll painting. Instead of reflecting a single moment from a single point of view, it is actually composed of a series of consecutive scenes. It takes time for the story to unfold in front of you, doesn't it? “Don't rush to finish the painting. Slow down. And let it open itself to you.” —— PKU Open Question

From May 17 to 25, the 2026 "Harvard Deep Dive in China—Peking Univ." program brought students from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) across Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guizhou for an immersive journey through contemporary China. Across factories, classrooms, laboratories, historic landmarks, and mountain valleys, the journey unfolded into a multidimensional exploration of contemporary China. Through conversation, observation, and shared experiences, participants encountered a country far more diverse, dynamic, and layered than any single narrative could capture. May the dialogue continue.
