On 7 December, 2015, Tu Youyou was awarded a Nobel Prize for her discovery of artemisinin, a life-saving drug for malaria.
At the Nobel Prize Lecture on 7 December, 2015, an 84-year-old Chinese woman walked slowly on to the stage. She began to talk about the life-saving drug, artemisinin, which she had discovered with the help of her team in the 1970s. The woman was Tu Youyou, the first Chinese female scientist to be awarded a Nobel Prize for her work. A scientist who was on the Nobel Prize Committee called Hans Forssberg explained that “the discovery of artemisinin has led to the development of new drugs which have saved the lives of millions”. When thanking the Committee for the honour, Tu Youyou said, “This is not only an honour for myself, but also recognition and encouragement for all scientists in China.”

The summary of “The Superhero Behind Superman”
Christopher Reeve is not only known as a superhero in the Superman films but also regarded as a superhero in real life.
Reeve was born on 25 September, 1952 in New York. He found his passion in acting at the age of eight and eventually starred in a Superman film as a lead role. Reeve starred in four Superman films from 1978 to 1987, which had given him the opportunity to be a real-life superman, and he soon gained a reputation for his charity work.
Unfortunately, in 1995 disaster struck Reeve. His severe injuries made him lose all hope during the early stages. But eventually he found a will to live again and set a goal of one day walking because of the support of his family and friends. To achieve his goal, Reeve undertook an intense programme. Finally he managed to return to his film career, wrote a biography and did charity work again, which inspired a lot of people in real life.
Sadly, on 10 October, 2004, Christopher Reeve passed away. But he will always be remembered as a superhero.
