What happens when China's intangible cultural heritage meets science, mathematics, light, and contemporary art at PKU? "Re-encounter with Chinese Glories: Creative Initiative for Intangible Cultural Heritage at Peking University" brings together scientists, artists, mathematicians, and heritage inheritors to explore new possibilities for traditional culture in the modern world. From Shanxi paper-cutting and ancient shadow imagery to photolithography, fractals, and interactive installations, this project asks a deeper question: how can traditional wisdom continue to evolve and resonate across generations? - PKU Nexus

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.

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.

Back in 1987, how did people in Chongqing cross the swift and mighty Yangtze River? The answer is a cableway that soars above the waves, connecting the two banks. Such a symbol of human ingenuity in the face of challenging terrain reminded Carolin from PKU Guanghua of her hometown, Heidelberg, Germany. There, the historic Heidelberg Bergbahn funicular carries visitors from the city center all the way up to the hilltop castle. Both rides offer a unique window into the soul of their cities. ▶Yangtze River Cableway | Hold on! Next Stop Chongqing | China's Wonderland EP.5

It doesn't make sense that our time at PKU went by so fast. From choosing the perfect graduation fit to taking "just one more photo" around campus, graduation season at PKU is full of moments that feel a little unreal. And somehow, after everything we've experienced here, saying goodbye still feels the least believable of all. Happy Graduation, PKUers!
