<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, October 14th, 2005: A 3rd –year boy and a 2nd-year girl<br />

from <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> will probably join the army at the end <strong>of</strong> this year and continue<br />

their study after experiencing two years <strong>of</strong> military life. The source <strong>of</strong> the news was<br />

from the Military Affairs Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the two students was from Guanghua School <strong>of</strong> Management and the other<br />

from Medicine Department. The school would keep their names down and if the<br />

students were awarded honorary soldiers or a third-class contribution they were<br />

supposed to read for doctor degrees without test after they came back to school two<br />

years later. Mr. An Guojiang told us that it had been three years since there was<br />

recruitment in college and this was the first year that students were sent to the army.<br />

Altogether there would be 140 students in Beijing to go to army.<br />

Except the recruitment <strong>of</strong> undergraduate students, there were a considerable<br />

number <strong>of</strong> service soldiers who took further study at <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> each year.<br />

From the introduction <strong>of</strong> Mr. Yu Hai, Dean <strong>of</strong> graduate department, <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

could accept 60 servicemen per year as undergraduate students. What‘s more, there<br />

were also some students with directions on national defense who would go to army<br />

after graduation.<br />
