Finally...
In 2015, for the first time, a Chinese secientist, Tu Youyou, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province on 30 December 1930, Tu Youyou studied at Beijing Medical College(now Peking University Health Science Centre) from 1951 to 1955. Since1955, she has worked at China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences as a tenured and chief researcher. In 1969, she worked as the leader of a research team aiming to discover a treatment for malaria. By 1972, she had managed to extract qinghaosu from a Chinese herb, which is very effective in fighting malaria.
One possible version:
Fourteen years later, she obtained a New Drug Certificate for qinghaosu, issued by the Ministry of Health of China. Because of her great contribution, she was presented with the Nobel Prize at the age of 85. In 2019, she was also nominated for“The Greatest Person of the 20th Century”.
Not only has she saved many people suffering from malaria, but also she has proved the effectiveness of Chinese herbs. Furthermore, she is admired because she devotes most of her time and energy to medical research.
