Swinging shovels, nurturing seedlings, carrying buckets for watering... The labor scene at the tree planting site was exceptionally enthusiastic, with rows of Magnolia trees, Bauhinia trees, cherry blossom trees, and other seedlings bursting with new vitality. This vibrant new sapling forest was named "Tsinghua Artistic Realm", which represents TASA as a new tree that is sprouting. This new tree, sprouting under the support of various parties, will gradually grow into a towering tree leading the way in the integration and innovation of arts and sciences. Against the backdrop of each sapling standing tall in the wind, Secretary QIN Chuan unveiled the plaque for the "Tsinghua Artistic Realm".

Following the tree planting activity, LIAO Binchao, Associate Professor of School of Civil Engineering, Tsinghua University, was invited to conduct a wonderful lecture at the Design Laboratory of the International Industrial Research Department on the topic "Communication and Efficient Execution" for the purpose of further strengthening the cooperation and exchange among TASA and various departments of the university. Associate Professor LIAO Binchao conveyed to the audience how to establish efficient teamwork relationships focusing on dimensions such as "focus on seeking self with determination", "logical clarity", and "eloquent persuasiveness" through case studies and interactive sessions. By combining vivid language with rich examples, the lecture created a lively atmosphere, fully engaging the audience's interest. Therefore, the interactions and discussions deepened the audience's understanding and application of the lecture content.

To further deepen the understanding of TASA, the Party Branch of TASA guided the faculty representatives from AADTHU to visit key facilities such as the Design Laboratory of the International Industrial Research Department, the Advanced Manufacturing and Design Prototype Laboratory, and the Art and Science Experience Center, showcasing the outstanding achievements and service cases of TASA in the areas of disciplinary development and industrial upgrading in recent years.
