ABSTRACT

September 15, 2015, marked a full 100 years since the New Culture Movement. One hundred years before that date, Peking University students flew the banner of democracy and science. They clustered in Peking University and launched and led the New Culture Movement that swept the country, pulling back the curtain on cultural enlightenment and cultural innovation in China. Thus, on September 15, 2015, on the 100th anniversary of the New Culture Movement, Peking University professors and students along with representatives from other universities in Beijing (Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, Beijing Normal University, etc.) gathered in Peking University to commemorate the centennial of the New Culture Movement. They gathered to remember both the martyrs and the day with their own eyes to continue to uphold the spirit and tradition of the New Movement and to offer advice and suggestions for the advancement of China’s reform and opening up.
