Tu Youyou's name comes from the sentence "Yo Luming Literature, Wild Apple" in The Book of Songs Xiaoya Luming Literature. "Yo yo" is Luming Literature's voice, and "Apple" is Artemisia annua. The origins of "Yo Yo" and "Apple" were decided at the moment when her parents named her, so this most common herb, Artemisia annua, actually accompanied Tu Youyou all her life.
Tu Youyou devoted his life to the study of traditional Chinese medicine. Through unremitting efforts and experiments, her team extracted effective drugs from Artemisia annua, the most common Chinese herbal medicine in China, and pioneered the discovery of artemisinin, creating a new method to treat malaria, benefiting the whole world, which is also her contribution to all mankind.
Tu Youyou was very humble after winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine. He attributed the honor to the state and the collective, refused to accept media interviews, and thus lived a quiet old age. Scientific experiments should not be sloppy, and scientific research also needs to be cultivated silently. Tu Youyou's great achievements come from her love of TCM, serious scientific attitude and humble and low-key style. She will always be the pride of China people and the person we will always respect, learn and love.
