| | Harvard Gazette: China premier comes to Harvard |
 | | To understand China, he told the audience of Harvard students, faculty, staff, and invited dignitaries, "it is necessary to get to know her yesterday, her today, and her tomorrow." Wen's speech, in Burden Hall on the Harvard Business School campus, was simultaneously translated from Mandarin into English. |
 | | Still, the rural areas of central and western China remain backwards, and the premier said he's torn with anxiety when he ponders the poverty in which millions of farmers and urban poor continue to live. |
 | | Premier Wen's visit to Harvard was hosted by the Office of the President; the Harvard University Asia Center, which supported the visit through the Dora and YL Yang Fund; and the Fairbank Center for East Asian Research. |
