<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Apr.24, 2004: To celebrate <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>‘s 106th<br />

anniversary and <strong>PKU</strong> First International Cultural Festival, the university organized<br />

the experts to design the memorial stamp and the publishing ceremony was held on<br />

the morning <strong>of</strong> April 24th, which was also the day for alumni <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> to<br />

gather together to celebrate the birthday <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>. The Ambassadors to<br />

China from many countries also attended the ceremony.<br />

President <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> Xu Zhihong addressed the ceremony and explained the meaning<br />

<strong>of</strong> the five-colored dove in the stamp. The five colors <strong>of</strong> red, yellow, green, blue and<br />

black represents the various ethnic groups <strong>of</strong> the five continents, who have created<br />

the rich and colorful human civilization with their own diligent hands. President Xu<br />

hoped that the youth should do research on human civilization modestly and make<br />

contributions to it. The perking dove in the stamp symbolizes peace and friendship,<br />

which are also the goals <strong>of</strong> the International Cultural Festival.<br />

Presidents Xu said that <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> have made prominent contributions to<br />

China‘s liberation and construction and therefore to the peace and development <strong>of</strong><br />

the world. In the new historic age, <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> will cultivate a large number <strong>of</strong><br />

talents, who will not only be the elites <strong>of</strong> the nation, but also have broad love, pursue<br />

peace and development <strong>of</strong> the world.<br />

that the newly issued stamp had accessory stamps, in which people could print their<br />

favorite pictures.<br />
