About the event
The International House Archive Treasure Hunt focuses on rediscovering the achievements of Chinese alumni who made significant contributions in various fields. By sharing their experiences and challenges, the project hopes to restore cultural ties between China and the U.S. and highlight the importance of cross-cultural exchange.
