Scientists worldwide had tried over 240，000 medicines to treat malaria without success.In 1969，Tu Youyou，then 39 years old，decided to turn to traditional Chinese herbs(草药)for possible solutions.She looked into the Chinese medical classics in history，visiting traditional Chinese doctors all over the country on her own.She gathered her findings in a notebook，in which she recorded 640 methods of treating malaria.She and her team also experimented with over 2000 traditional Chinese herbs. During this time，her husband was forced to work in the countryside，and their young daughter had to take care of herself in Beijing.

In 2007，her office was in an old apartment building in Beijing.Before 2011，Tu Youyou had been described as “almost completely forgotten by people”．Yet in 2015，the Nobel Prize committee said her discoveries had given the world powerful new ways to fight a powerful disease which affected hundreds of millions of people every year.In terms of improving human health and reducing suffering，Mrs Tu's contribution is beyond words.
