First sentence: Peking University, founded in 1898 as the Imperial Peking University, was China's first modern state university and was at the center of the country's major intellectual movements in the twentieth century: the introduction of Western learning, a revived interest in Buddhism, and a reinterpretation of Confucian and other branches of Chinese learning.
