"Tu's win showed that Chinese scientists are able to win Nobel Prize. It highly improved our confidence in science," Zhang Boli, president of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told Xinhua newspaper.

Tu is a researcher at the academy. In the late 1960s, Tu and her team started a project to find a new malaria medicine. At that time, more than 240,000 things had already been tested, but failed. But Tu didn't give up. She read medical books from ancient China and found that the plant Qinghao was once used to treat malaria. However, crude extracts(粗萃取物)of the plant was not easy. In the hope of saving others' lives, she tried hard. In 1971, after over 190 failures, she and her team succeeded.

Though she was seriously ill because of long-term study, she volunteered to be the first person to test the medicine. Tu Youyou is a real hero in my heart.
