Medal of the Republic 功勋 Episode 37

At the time when Vietnam’s War of Resistance against the U.S. escalated, Ho Chi Minh, Chairman of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, came to China, hoping that China would help solve the problem of malaria prevention and treatment. Chairman Mao said to Chairman Ho Chi Minh that solving your problem is also solving our problem. Subsequently, the General Logistics Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army invited nearly a hundred scientific research units, including the National Science and Technology Commission, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Chemical Industry, to participate in the malaria prevention and control military project code-named 523. Among them is Tu Youyou, whose name comes from the "Book of Songs". She is the first batch of college students cultivated by New China. She has been in the Institute of Chinese Medicine for more than ten years and has a very good level of business.

The director of the Revolutionary Committee led Director Zhang of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences into the office and ran into Tu Youyou head on. She doesn't want to care about people. If she greets you someday, she will startle them. The director told her to come to the Revolutionary Committee, and Tu Youyou almost forgot to understand. The director introduced the acquaintance between Director Zhang and Tu Youyou. Tu Youyou is not flattering in front of the leaders, and has full personality. Director Zhang mentioned the 523 scientific research project. Researchers go to various places to collect prescriptions, but most of them cannot be used. Just like Changshan, which was recently screened out, its toxic and side effects are also great. Tu Youyou also knew this well, which surprised Director Zhang. The Revolutionary Committee recommended Tu Youyou to participate in this glorious research task and serve as the leader of the research group in the institute. The reason for her is that she is also a general from the scorpion, and it is not convenient for the seniors in the place to make arrangements. Tu Youyou straightforwardly proposed the laboratory and model needed, and Director Zhang was willing to cooperate. In short, her only goal was to find a new antimalarial drug.

Tu Youyou has a straightforward personality, is not good at communication, and is also a rough line in life. She often went home with a book, because her husband Li Tingzhao and her daughter had long been used to it because they forgot to take the key to ask her husband to open the door. Tu Youyou talked about joining the 523 project. Li Tingzhao lamented that her work has benefited mankind and is very meaningful. Li Tingzhao’s news is bad news. Because he is a student studying in the Soviet Union, he was assigned to work and study at the May 7th Cadre School. The place Li Tingzhao was going to was an area with a high incidence of malaria. Tu Youyou shook his head. It was too far away. Li Tingzhao looked at the stars and said that there are no stars far away. At that time, Tu Youyou was always alone in high school in Ningbo. Everyone said that it was more difficult to be with her than to pick the stars.

Corps soldier Liang Xihua came to report, followed by Li Wei, her junior in Beijing Medical University. The two are not of the same group, but Tu Youyou only has a business group here. Qu Guangming took away the "Huangdi Nei Jing" from the reference room in order to give birth to his son, and even ran to the laboratory to watch the excitement. Tu Youyou posted a paper at the door that unrelated persons were prohibited from entering. The first goal of the team is to overcome the side effects of changshanine. On February 6, 1969, Tu Youyou's research group started work. When the research team received the email, Tu Youyou took it seriously. Qu Guangming and Liang Xihua bet behind her to see if she would step on the cement. Overcoming the side effects of changshanine is not optimistic at present. Tu Youyou believes that another way of thinking should be changed to find another effective antimalarial drug. If changshanine is proved to be a double-edged sword through repeated experiments, it should be eliminated. However, the military representatives Lao Xu and Director Zhou did not agree. With so many people's efforts, where Tu Youyou was eliminated and eliminated. Old Xu was so angry that he yelled at him, saying that he could not rest assured that such an important project would be handed over to Tu Youyou, and that he must immediately correct it if it fails.

Old Xu asked Liang Xihua to write a report on the next work, leaving Liang Xihua at a loss. Tu Youyou is sorting out anti-malarial prescriptions collected from all over the country. There are three people in the research team, but all methods that can be tried must be tried. Tu Youyou went to see Teacher Lin for advice. She had attended Teacher Lin's class more than ten years ago. Teacher Lin is a veteran expert of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute, but unfortunately he was assigned to the boiler room because of his identity. Liang Xihua dismissed this, thinking that the stains on such a person would not be washed away for a lifetime, but Li Wei did not think so. Li Wei discovered that Liang Xihua was holding a notebook and wrote it down as soon as he had time. Liang Xihua was not willing to send the materials, otherwise it would become an ironclad proof of the research team's change of thinking. Tu Youyou ignored it and sent it directly. Old Xu was very angry, but Director Zhang was more willing to let go of his thoughts. Xiao Min was sent to the kindergarten for full care. Li Tingzhao was about to leave. He wrote down all the things that need attention at home and gave them to Tu Youyou. He was the housekeeper since he got married. Now this family is going to be handed over to Tu Youyou. Li Tingzhao also provided the key to Grandma Liu to prevent Tu Youyou from forgetting to bring the key.

Director Zhou thought that you could let Tu Youyou try, but Old Xu didn't think so. He even called Liang Xihua to report on the research team. Liang Xihua remembered that it was all trivial things like eating and going to the bathroom, and Old Xu didn't bother to watch it, and told him not to report again next time. Since everyone wants Tu Youyou to try, then try. After leaving, Liang Xihua shredded the notebook and threw it into the trash can.
