This book tells the story of Tu Youyou, who loved looking at the illustrations of flowers and herbs in medical books as a child. At 16, she recovered from her illness using traditional Chinese medicine, sparking her interest in the medicinal properties of flowers and herbs. Later, she focused on experimental research related to flowers and herbs. Faced with the global spread of malaria, Tu Youyou resolved to develop new drugs. She consulted countless ancient medical books and conducted hundreds of experiments, successfully extracting artemisinin from Artemisia annua. This achievement saved millions of lives, making her my country's first Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine.
