Peking University, July 8, 2010: With a universal vision and a down-to-earth spirit, PKU's graduates step out into the wider world as Commencements concluded.

The graduation ceremonies for PKU undergraduate and graduate students of Class of 2010 were held on July 7 and 8 respectively.

Prof. Zhou Qifeng, President of Peking University, bade farewell to the post-80s graduates, some of who would be "thousand miles away." He also urged them to be earnest and down-to-earth in his commencement address.

Some 3 000 students received bachelor's degrees from PKU, while 6 000 received master's and doctor's this year.
