In the past decades, according to incomplete statistics, artemisinin developed by Tu Youyou and his team has treated more than 200 million people worldwide and saved millions of lives around the world.

Artemisia annua was originally a weed that was born on the roadside of Shan Ye, but it was handed down because of the "elbow emergency prescription" and became a well-known "network celebrity" medicine in the hands of contemporary Chinese medicine scientist Tu Youyou. In Tu Youyou's hands, artemisinin, a specific antimalarial drug, has successfully cured countless patients and is still the first choice for malaria treatment in the world.
