📜 The History of The Beijing Derby
Separated by just a single avenue in the Haidian district, this is China's Oxford-Cambridge or Harvard-MIT. Peking University (Beida) is traditionally known for its rebellious spirit, humanities, and profound political influence. Tsinghua is the ultimate technocratic powerhouse, famous for engineering and producing many of China's top political leaders, including Xi Jinping.
