At the same time, he pointed out that the Tu Youyou Prize brought two inspirations to China. First, Chinese medicine is the most original field of science and technology in China, and it is promising to obtain scientific research results with world influence in this field, which is worthy of our in-depth exploration. Traditional Chinese medicine is the creation and accumulation of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and it is a huge treasure house, which needs modern science and technology to explore and study. Winning the Nobel Prize this time is a good proof, which has strengthened our confidence in Chinese medicine. Artemisinin is an effective monomer, and there are also compound Chinese medicines. At present, mankind still faces many medical problems, such as cardiovascular diseases, tumors, metabolic diseases and so on. All of them are complex diseases caused by many factors, and compound Chinese medicine is likely to make an effective breakthrough in prevention and treatment. Therefore, we should make greater efforts to explore the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine. Second, what kind of achievements can win the Nobel Prize? We are inspired that the Nobel Prize is not far away as long as we start with the health, environment, economy and other issues that people need most, make unremitting efforts and make great achievements and breakthroughs. ? "This is the pride of China people and the pride of Chinese medicine." Although he is abroad, Liu Qingquan, president of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is also concerned about Tu Youyou's award. He told reporters through WeChat: "Chinese medicine belongs to China and the world. Only by inheriting well can we innovate. The development of traditional Chinese medicine must be combined with science and technology, with the help of science and technology to promote academic research of traditional Chinese medicine, pioneering and innovative. Sticking to tradition and rejecting modern science and technology, the development of Chinese medicine can only be empty talk, and pragmatism can succeed. " ? Tu Youyou's award has boosted the confidence of the Chinese medicine community. Wang Jian, president of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that Chinese medicine is the crystallization of thousands of years of practical experience and wisdom of the Chinese nation, and it is the most original and innovative subject field. Traditional Chinese medicine is both traditional and modern, both in China and in the world. We should cherish this great medical treasure more than ever before, cultivate China people's humanistic feelings about Chinese medicine more attentively than ever before, strive to enhance academic self-esteem and cultural self-confidence, and subtly integrate into the process of cultivating talents of Chinese medicine, so that Chinese medicine can be carried forward in inheritance and innovation, make greater contributions to the health of all mankind, and win broad consensus and recognition on a larger scale and at a higher level. The research team led by distinguished professor Zhang Wanbin from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Shanghai Jiaotong University has been devoted to the artificial synthesis of antimalarial drug artemisinin for many years, and it is expected that it will be industrialized next year, thus greatly reducing the prices of related drugs. ? "Tu Lao's award has given us great encouragement and hope." Zhang Wanbin said that more than 300 million people worldwide are infected with malaria every year, and 600,000-654.38+00,000 people die due to lack of effective drug treatment. At present, artemisinin is extracted from plants. Because the content of plant leaves is very low, it needs to be planted in large quantities. But planting has a great relationship with climate and market, which is unstable and expensive. I believe that Tu Lao's award can promote the progress of new drug innovation in China, thus benefiting more people. ? As of press time, many units and institutions have sent congratulatory letters to Tu Youyou. Bai Chunli, president of China Academy of Sciences and executive chairman of the Presidium of China Academy of Sciences, said in his congratulatory letter: Your discovery of artemisinin has opened up a new direction for malaria treatment, which is not only of great scientific significance, but also brings good news to hundreds of millions of patients. Your award is the pride of the scientific community in China. I believe it will inspire more China scientists to climb the world scientific peak and make more and greater contributions to human civilization and people's well-being.
