      The article notes: "Once at Harvard, in the fall of 2005, Meijie figured out what she wanted to do. She would try to make liberal education’s ideal of well-rounded self-fulfillment “more real in China.” She plunged into conceiving a summer exchange program run by and for students. Meijie named it the Harvard Summit for Young Leaders in China, or Hsylc — pronounced “H-silk,” evoking the historic trading route." The article further notes, "As for the HSYLC students’ plans for the future, Meijie’s summit meeting had not triggered a stampede to apply to American colleges (where all but the wealthy must hope for full or generous scholarships). Interest in Harvard certainly was high, yet at the same time Hsylc sent a very different message that worked against reflexive Chinese competitive fervor."

      The article discusses Hsylyc (acronym for Harvard Summit for Young Leaders in China) extensively.

  • Delete Sure, there is some coverage in newspaper sources when the event has taken place in the past, but little in the way of long-lasting significance. Polyamorph (talk) 11:33, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The sources include a New York Times profile published in 2007 and coverage in the South China Morning Post in 2009, People's Daily in 2016, and The Time Weekly in 2020.
