The childhood home of Chinese Nobel laureate for medicine Tu Youyou has been listed as a historical site in Ningbo, Zhejiang province.

中国诺贝尔奖得主屠呦呦童年时期在浙江宁波的住宅被列入历史遗迹。

Tu, 85, lived at the house until she went to a university in Beijing in the 1950s.

It forms part of a complex of 37 traditional buildings covering 2,200 square meters, which were transformed into a high-end art and commercial zone in 2011.

More than 400 sites were designated by the Ningbo government as historical ones on Tuesday, including Tu's former home, which is owned by Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co, the contractor¹ for the transformation² project.

The house was built about 100 years ago by Tu's maternal³ grandfather Yao Yongbai, who was a member of Ningbo General Chamber⁴ of Commerce and a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai.

Tu won the Nobel Prize in October for her discovery of artemisinin, a traditional Chinese medicine that can cure malaria⁵. Many visitors flocked to the Ningbo residence during the National Day holiday.
