Peking University, March 17, 2026: Spring has quietly returned to campus. Cherry blossoms bud and bloom just outside the classroom windows, coaxing eyes away from open books. Bees drift in on the breeze, drawn to the first whispers of mountain peach in bloom. Forsythia blazes yellow along the old brick walls, and willows trail their new green into the water. The air carries that familiar mix of earth and bloom that belongs only to this season.

Linger a little longer on your walk to class, as PKU in spring is worth the slow pace.
