<p class="ql-block">这是屠呦呦的神奇故事，她在 20 世纪 70 年代发现的疟疾疗法拯救了数百万人的生命，而她既没有博士学位也没有医学学位，事情的经过是这样的：越南战争期间，成千上万的士兵患上疟疾，于是北越向其盟友中国寻求帮助。毛泽东启动了一个绝密项目，代号为 523，并选择了屠呦呦来领导这个项目。她相信疟疾的治疗方法可能存在于古代中医中，但在尝试了 24 万种化合物后仍毫无头绪，直到她的团队在一本 4 世纪的医书中发现了青蒿的记载。她先在动物身上测试这种植物提取物，有时结果看起来很有希望，但有时又似乎会造成损伤。为了确定它对人类是否安全，屠呦呦坚持亲自进行人体试验。幸运的是，她没有任何不良反应，成功找到了一种疟疾治疗方法，甚至对最严重的疟疾病株也有效。然而，只有中国及其盟友知道这种救命药。屠呦呦和她的同事们被要求严守秘密，直到 15 年后，这种疗法才向更广阔的世界开放。最终在 2015 年，屠呦呦开创性的工作得到了认可。84 岁的她成为首位获得诺贝尔奖的中国女性，她的发现——青蒿素仍在拯救着全世界无数人的生命，这就是屠呦呦的神奇故事。</p> <p class="ql-block">This is the amazing story of Tu Youyou, whose cure for malaria from the 1970s has saved millions of lives and she did it without a doctorate or medical degree,here's how: during the Vietnam war, thousands of soldiers were falling sick with malaria, so North Vietnam turned to its allied China, fir help.
