Chapter 209: Arrival In California

On 11th December, a major event took place in the academic circle.

It was not only in the mathematics community, but it was also in the medical world.

Three days ago, Professor Tu Youyou from Karolinska Institutet of Sweden published a thesis titled [A Gift from Traditional Chinese Medicine to the World]. Today in Stockholm, she received the Nobel Prize in Medicine!

William Campbell and Omura were also awarded. The three would share the $8 million SEK prize.

Thus, the first Chinese Nobel Prize winner was born!

Lu Zhou could not help but feel happy for the Chinese academic community.

Since the first Chinese Nobel Prize winner was born, it was about time for him to win the Fields Medal.

However, the interesting thing was that a few days after the Nobel Prize was awarded, the official website of the National Knowledge Bureau published an article entitled "The Revelation of Artemisinin Patent" which told the story behind this Nobel Prize.
