Lecture tour offers more insight on Xi's speeches

More than 1 million college students and faculty members in Beijing will have an opportunity to draw inspiration from two key speeches President Xi Jinping gave earlier this month.

The Ministry of Education and the Beijing municipal government have organized a team of more than 60 lecturers - university presidents, officials of the Communist Party of China, prestigious scholars and senior ideological and political experts - to embark on a tour of colleges in the capital. Students and faculty members will study Xi's speech delivered at Peking University and another one marking the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx's birth.

The first of the lectures, delivered at Tsinghua University on Wednesday, was attended by more than 1,000 teachers and students from universities around Beijing.
