Although the voice of the people drowned out the "whispered words" of the two people, it did not hinder the sweetness of the two people.
Because of the need to strictly implement epidemic prevention and control measures, today's graduation ceremony, graduates sat one seat apart. Peking University said that graduates of the Class of 2020 who were unable to attend today's ceremony for various reasons can also choose to return to campus during the graduation season in July this year to attend the degree conferment ceremony.
At the graduation ceremony, Peking University President Hao Ping welcomed the graduates back to campus for reunion. He said that the fact that we were able to hold such a degree conferment ceremony today as scheduled is the result of a major victory in the fight against COVID-19.

In the days when everyone left, the east building of the library was reopened, the home canteen was opened for business, the medical science and technology building of the Medical Department was officially completed, and the new campus in Changping will welcome the first batch of teachers and students in a few months. ”
Hao Ping also mentioned the recent hit TV series "The Age of Awakening". He said that Peking University has played an irreplaceable role in the New Culture Movement and the May Fourth Movement, peking university has always been closely linked to the destiny of the country and the nation for more than a hundred years, and the May Fourth spirit of "patriotism, progress, democracy and science" has become the brightest background of Peking University.
