<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Oct. 14th, 2007: The press conference <strong>of</strong> the 4th <strong>PKU</strong><br />

International Cultural Festival was convened last week.<br />

Zhao Weimin, spokesman <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> announced that the festival under the theme ―Go<br />

with the Olympic & Be with the World‖ would start on October 20th. It will include<br />

activities such as ―<strong>PKU</strong> Idol‖ singing competition, Olympic exhibition, various food<br />

culture exhibitions and so on.<br />

Mr. Lin Jianhua, <strong>PKU</strong> Executive Vice President addressed in the meeting that the<br />

festival would serve as a stage for <strong>PKU</strong> students to communicate with international<br />

students and get to know their different cultures. It is also a great opportunity for the<br />

world to have a better idea <strong>of</strong> our country.<br />

The slogan <strong>of</strong> this year‘s festival is ―go towards the Olympic and create a harmonious<br />

society‖. Compared with previous festivals, the festival this year blended two<br />

important topics, ―the Olympics‖ with ―harmony‖. What‘s more, after three years‘<br />

development, it has gained more and more attention from the society.<br />

Up to now, there are already students from 66 countries participating in 80 billboard<br />

designing plan and 30 performing programs. The festival also received support from<br />

embassies in China.<br />

The festival, which has been held for three years, is aimed at broadening students‘<br />

horizon and build a harmonious campus. In 2008, <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> will hold its<br />

110th anniversary. It is generally believed that the festival will have great<br />

improvement and development at that time.<br />
