It has saved the lives of millions of malaria patients in the world, especially in developing countries, made revolutionary contributions to the treatment and control of this major parasitic infectious disease, and has also become the most brilliant example of promoting the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine and going global by scientific methods.
