Starting December 3, 2025, the stamp collection event is making a limited-time comeback! Visitors can now pick up exclusive postcards for stamping at designated check-in points (limited availability, first-come, first-served). By following the designated order to collect stamps, the completed pattern forms the Chinese character "百" (hundred), symbolizing the centennial celebration of Dr. Tsung-Dao Lee’s birth.


To express our deep respect for and remembrance of Professor Tsung-Dao Lee Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in collaboration with CAs Institute of High Energy Physics, Peking University, Zhejiang University, University of Science, and Technology of China and Chinese Physical Society, has organized a series of commemorative events.


Upon entering the main gate of the Tsung-Dao Lee Library at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a massive Chinese character for "Ge" is carved on the wall directly above the staircase. The character, engraved in bold strokes against a plain background overlaid with patterns of dots and lines symbolizing immense computing power, draws the gaze of passersby. This artwork, personally designed by Tsung-Dao Lee, marked his first attempt at creating a fusion of science and art.


Tsung-Dao Lee, born in the Year of the Bingyin Tiger (1926), developed a deep fascination with art through his early exposure to music and painting. This foundation later evolved into a unique expression of the fusion between science and art.


At the entrance of Tsinghua Science Park stands a distinctive sculpture: two bulls arch their backs and lock horns, their taut muscles resembling drawn bowstrings, capturing the imagery of high-energy heavy-ion collisions and the creation of new states with a powerful visual impact. This sculpture also symbolizes the intense collision of science and art, and the moment of inspired brilliance. It was a birthday gift presented to Dr. Tsung-Dao Lee on his 80th birthday, silently recounting the story of mutual appreciation between a great scientist and a pair of artist spouses.
