Since that moment, she was deeply engrossed in the world of herbal medicine. As she grew older, the little girl became more and more proficient and gained more knowledge.

Through her hardwork, and the help of a little herb called mugwort, Tu Youyou would eventually find a way to treat those suffering with deadly malaria!
