清華大学生体医科学ビルの呂志和ビルディングの調印式が25日、北京の清華大学で開催された。学長のチェン・シュー教授と副学長のヤン・ビン教授が精華大学ならびにTsinghua University Education Foundation（清華大学教育基金）の両方を代表し、呂博士と寄付協定に署名した。呂博士の寄付への感謝と称賛、そして生体医科学の科学研究への熱心な支援を証する寄付証書が同博士に授与された。

呂博士はスピーチで、今回の寄付を行った理由を次のように明かした。「世界的な視野、社会的意識、世界クラスの大学になることへの指向、そして『徳と個人の成長を養う』という校訓をもってトップクラスの人材を養成するという清華大学のコミットメントは、教育に対する私自身の信念と完全に同じであり、それが理由で生体医科学ビルの建設を支援することを決意した。清華大学生命学院（Tsinghua University’s School of Life Sciences）と同薬学院（Tsinghua University’s School of Pharmaceutical Sciences）は中国最先端の研究学術機関であり、私はこの寄付が革新的な科学技術の応用における学術研究を奨励し、この国のソフトパワーを支えることを期待している」
