What is Tu Youyou's deeds and spirit?

20 1 1 new york, September 23rd. 20 1 1 lasker award ceremony is being held. Tu Youyou, an 80-year-old female scientist in China, took the trophy, smiled and asked the reporter to take photos, and then delivered her acceptance speech: "In the process of artemisinin discovery, ancient literature inspired me at the most critical moment of research."

I believe that efforts to develop Chinese medicine will definitely bring more therapeutic drugs to the world. The Lasker Prize was awarded to Tu Youyou because he discovered artemisinin in China more than 1600 years ago, which was inspired by the emergency prescription of ancient pharmacopoeia, making artemisinin a first-line antimalarial drug recommended by the World Health Organization and saving millions of lives around the world.

Tu Youyou is not only doing research in obscurity, but also openly expressing his patriotism. Such a scientist deserves more praise. It is also an example for Chinese medicine learning! Tu Youyou's "China Spirit" is also reflected in her "spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core".

On the surface, the discovery of artemisinin is an achievement of traditional Chinese medicine, but in essence it is more reflected in the ingenious organic combination of traditional Chinese medicine and modern experimental medicine. This bold reform and innovation has been tested by modern science, and it has been proved that this combination is very successful, which conforms to the law of modern medical development and is also one of the essences of contemporary medical circles.

Therefore, Tu Youyou's time spirit of reform and innovation not only makes China's spirit shine, but also makes China's spirit shine all over the world.
