Lunch at Peking University’s 100th Year Centenary Event
These are some pictures from my lunch. In front of the school there are banners that say, “The 100 Year Anniversary of Beijing University”. As I wrote about earlier, Peking University was originally called Beijing University, but has since been renamed. When I first arrived at Beijing Airport, Zhuo Laoshi came to pick me up and we had a lovely conversation about the enormous changes that have happened since last time I was there with my boys in 2007. The following are pictures taken from us having lunch with teacher Li, teacher Ma, Zhuo, and classmate, Lijing Mei.

Centenary Celebration and Gala Dinner at the International Center
The Centenary Celebration and Gala Dinner took place at the Conference Center at Peking University, Beijing, China, October 25, 2012.
There were representatives from All Chinese Medical Universities who delivered speeches, and to my surprise, the Dean from the University of Michigan Medical School, Dr. James O. Woolliscroft, also delivered a congratulation speech. Other speakers represented the University of Whales Medical School and Hong Kong as well as the Karolinska Institute from Sweden. Look how decorated the tables were. They also had wine and drinks which made it very nice.
The food included nicely decorated hors d’oeuvres and many, many dishes. Here’s my name tag as each seat at the table was reserved with each attendee’s name.
This last picture was taken in front of the stage were the speeches were delivered.
