I didn't get round to having children until I was 35, and then I wasn't around very much.
Project 523 was both a good and a bad thing. They held so many meetings, and there were so many competing centres, it was a real mess. Nearly every province had their own research centre, and they all asked me to share my research, which I did. But that's no way to do science. They wasted a lot of money and a lot of time.
My choice of learning pharmacy was driven by my interests, curiosity, and a desire to seek new medicines for patients.
I saw a lot of children who were in the latest stages of malaria. Those kids died very quickly.
It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide and that people across the globe will enjoy its benefits for health promotion.
Malaria was one of the epidemic diseases with the most comprehensive records in traditional Chinese medical literature.
