<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, April 7th, 2008: The 2008 Chinese National Culture<br />

Festival was held at Yingjie Overseas Exchange Center attended by masters <strong>of</strong><br />

Chinese National Culture Tang Yijie, Qian Xun, Ouyang Zhongshi, Traditional<br />

Chinese Painter Lou Shibai, Guqin players Yu Bosun and Huang Mingkang couple,<br />

etc. Being an important part as Wusi Culture Festival, this activity is intended to<br />

strengthen the students‘ responsibility <strong>of</strong> the times and sense <strong>of</strong> the historical<br />

mission.<br />

Yang He, Deputy Secretary <strong>of</strong> the Party Committee <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong>, gave a welcoming<br />

address on the festival. He said that the Chinese traditional culture had made a<br />

significant contribution to the civilization <strong>of</strong> the world, and more and more popular<br />

Chinese National Culture should take the responsibility <strong>of</strong> inheriting such a history.<br />

Tang Yijie expressed that, as Mr. Fei Xiaotong said, the revival <strong>of</strong> Chinese Nation<br />

needed a spirit to maintain the independence <strong>of</strong> Chinese Culture, and the Chinese<br />

National Culture was deemed to be able to establish it. Moreover, it should bring up a<br />

worldwide visual field, which was neither the same as ancient nor western culture.<br />

The second half <strong>of</strong> the Chinese National Culture Festival was held in form <strong>of</strong> ―<strong>PKU</strong> &<br />

Chinese National Culture‖ FORUM by Tang Yijie, Ouyang Zhongshi, Lou Shibai,<br />

Qian Xun and Kong Qingdong. Ouyang Zhongshi, in his eighties, soulfully said that,<br />

―<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> is my Alma Mater. I came here not only to celebrate but also to<br />

learn. Now both <strong>of</strong> them have come true.‖ Later, the five scholars also answered the<br />

questions put forward by the audience.<br />
