02:01One type of plant has attracted human attention because it can alleviate pain and suffering.
02:06the focus of
02:12They have a common name: medicinal plants
02:21In China, a country with a long history of plant application
02:24They also have a unique name
02:27Herbal
02:35In an orchard in Souzue-tei, Japan
02:39A batch of fruits hangs on the branches
02:41They gleamed with a silvery-white luster
02:44Like an apricot
03:04August
03:05The shriveled fruit is ripe.
03:37Chinese subtitle volunteer Li Zongsheng
03:40This fruit may be relatively difficult to identify.
03:44But once you see its leaves
03:46Almost everyone can name it.
03:52The world's only fan-shaped leaf is the perfect representation of the ginkgo.
04:02The people here still follow the traditional methods of processing and making ginkgo pots.
04:18It has also become one of the most popular food items in Japan.
04:24It is a rare privilege that people can still enjoy ginkgo fruits today.
04:33Ginkgo has existed on Earth for 200 million years.
04:37This fruit may have been a favorite food of dinosaurs.
04:43Ginkgo trees are now widely distributed around the world.
04:49And all these ginkgo trees come from one place.
04:53It is the hometown of ginkgo
04:56China
05:08Two hundred million years ago
05:09Ginkgo was once widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere.
05:12China is one of the major regions.
05:15They are native to this place.
05:18Spreading branches and leaves when spring arrives.
05:26Nature endowed ginkgo with gender at the very beginning of the creation of plants.
05:32The bear-shaped flower beneath the ginkgo branches highlights its masculine identity.
05:40In the small sac at the tip of its flower
05:42Pollen ready for reproduction
05:47This gender design is intended to produce diverse offspring.
05:52However, it failed to address the obstacles to pollination between male and female trees.
06:00The bear tree and its pollen waited anxiously.
06:07Pollen's vitality lasts only a few days.
06:09We need to set off as soon as possible to find the porcelain tree.
06:12They were hoping for a passing wind.
06:26The swaying of the leaves brought good news.
06:28Fine pollen grains jumped out of the tiny sacs.
06:33Set sail with the wind
06:38They cover an area of twenty kilometers around the male tree.
06:41Search for traces of the porcelain tree
06:46The pollen knew what it was looking for.
06:51They are embryo trees that grow from porcelain trees.
06:57There is a small, viscous water droplet at each end of the embryonic tree.
07:02They can extend a friendly hand to pollen.
07:06Capture the pollen in the wind and carry it into the embryonic tree.
07:12Only here can pollen truly fulfill its mission.
07:28The smell of dampness in the air
07:30Let pollen smell a dangerous scent
07:35A sudden downpour
07:37This search plan was thwarted.
07:44Even if a single mature male tree can produce trillions of pollen grains
07:48The continuous rain was enough to make the ginkgo tree feel despair.
07:56The unreliability of wind
07:58Increased the time cost of reproduction
08:01How should ginkgo trees cope with the hardships of nature?
08:05It chose to wait silently.
08:09The roots of the ginkgo provide strong support for this waiting process.
08:24These ginkgo trees are hidden in the forest
08:26It looks like a family
08:30But they are actually a living organism.
08:32Having the same genes
08:37Around the roots of the ginkgo
08:39New branches will continue to grow.
08:42The old branches have grown old
08:45On the other side, however, life was still vibrant.
08:53Over time
08:55Ginkgo has lived its life as a group.
09:04The growth and metabolism of seedlings
09:06This adds several times the lifespan to the ginkgo tree.
09:11For this old tree
09:12Waiting for these seedlings to grow
09:15The hope is somewhat slim.
09:19An unexpected lightning strike destroyed its trunk.
09:21Only the glued outer shell remained.
09:24On the verge of death
09:32For thousands of years
09:34The territory it carved out with its body
09:36Now only an empty space the size of a wooden hut remains.
09:43But it still did not give up.
09:46On this broken body
09:48Some suspended, protruding, flow-like substances
09:50This foreshadows a turning point.
09:56Willow
09:57This woody tissue
09:58It did not grow upwards like a tree trunk.
10:01Instead, it floated towards the ground.
10:07On the ancient ginkgo tree trunk
10:09They live on the brink of death.
10:11Touching the ground
10:14Roots grow out from the trunk.
10:17To start anew
10:27The ginkgo leaves completed the final full-scale preparation of the ginkgo tree.
10:36They have evolved into many different types of organisms.
10:38Toxic substances that animals fear
10:46This caterpillar has clearly gone to the wrong place.
10:50There is a risk of poisoning if you consume ginkgo nuts.
10:53It needs to switch restaurants.
11:07Thousands of years later
11:08These hidden chemicals were discovered by humans.
11:13There are more than 170 species of them.
11:18People separated them from the ginkgo trees.
11:21Add to different drugs
11:42Ginkgo biloba has become the best-selling herbal medicine in Germany, France, and the United States.
11:49As for Ginkgo itself
11:50These substances are solely for preserving the integrity of the leaves.
11:54To provide the largest energy synthesis area
12:00When autumn arrives
12:04Ginkgo trees shed their leaves to withstand the cold winter.
12:12These leaves support the annual growth of the ginkgo tree.
12:14Made all the efforts
12:26Ginkgo biloba uses all the tissues in its body to prolong its life
12:30Overcame the barriers of time and distance
12:33They had ample opportunity to reproduce.
12:39This situation persisted for nearly 160 million years.
12:49Until the Fourth Ice Age
12:52Cold Weather Covers the Globe
12:57Ginkgo trees are becoming extinct on a large scale worldwide.
13:05Almost none of the ginkgo's close relatives survived.
13:09China's towering mountains effectively blocked the onslaught of cold air.
13:13The preservation of this ginkgo forest has left behind
13:26But at this time, the ginkgo
13:27The entire family suffered a devastating blow.
13:32Until the emergence of the Chinese nation on this land
13:37It has been discovered that ginkgo nuts are not only edible
13:40Moreover, it can effectively improve pain when breathing is difficult.
13:45Ginkgo trees began to be planted in front of and behind houses.
13:54This timely saved the fragile fate of ginkgo trees after the Ice Age.
14:02With the help of humans
14:04The surviving ginkgo trees in China
14:06Now it has spread all over the world again.
14:11The fate of the Ginkgo family
14:13Only then was the problem truly resolved.
14:32Herbal medicine existed long before the appearance of humankind.
14:39Because it is through value that destiny will be transformed.
14:50They began to coexist with humans.
14:53Became one of the first batch of Chinese herbal medicines
14:59It began to be included in important historical records of China, such as the Shennong Materia Medica.
15:33Mingjing needs your support. Mingjing needs your support. Mingjing needs your support. Mingjing
15:55The Himalayan Hengduan Mountains glacier zone at an altitude of over 4,000 meters
16:00The environment here, near the snow line, is harsh.
16:03Plants are gradually facing extinction.
16:07Even the grass mat lying flat on the ground refused to move forward at a certain point.
16:23Rhubarb seems to be defying the laws of nature.
16:36To avoid competition with other plants
16:39Rhubarb chose to leave the grass mats and live on the harsher scree slopes.
16:53This is a nearly barren area between the alpine meadows and the snow line.
17:05Before it blooms, Rheum nobile is plain.
17:09To prevent animals from gnawing
17:10It adorned its leaves with red
17:13He looked malnourished.
17:22For many years, Rhubarb has maintained a low profile.
17:27This is actually a silent preparation for that moment of transcendence between the mundane and the sacred.
17:42It needs more accumulation on barren land.
17:45Only enough to support the consumption during the flowering period.
17:48The accumulation period can last from ten to forty-five years.
17:54Rhubarb only has one chance to bloom in its lifetime.
17:57Then he will die.
18:06It needs to grasp the reality.
18:10When Tahuang sensed that this year's climate was relatively suitable
18:13Only then will it go all out.
18:19Choose flowering rhubarb.
18:20Within a few dozen days, the flower buds grew rapidly to a height of two meters.
18:35The fluff was wrapped in layers upon layers of thin yellow flakes.
18:40Below are the leaves used as a model.
18:44From a distance, it looks like a golden pagoda.
18:47Located on a desolate scree slope
18:52The name "Tahuang" (塔黄) originated from this.
19:05However, the time for ship powder is short and difficult.
19:10High-altitude extreme environments
19:12Insects are a sought-after resource.
19:16Rhubarb chose to cooperate with an insect called the Eye-Holding Insect.
19:21This combination saved the fate of two races in the mountains.
19:27In order to invite this partner
19:29Tahuang used all its skills
19:35Firstly, the flowers of Rheum nobile emit a distinctive fragrance.
19:39Guiding the male and female instructors here
19:45They became familiar with each other through the packaging.
19:48Find your ideal mate and mate.
19:54Tahuang not only helped Xunwen find love
19:57He even built a home for them with his body.
20:05The desolate scree slopes prevent magnetic messages from spawning.
20:10The area inside the tower has become the warmest nursery in sight.
20:17Magnetic message drilling into the package
20:19The eggs are laid in the ovary of the flower of Rheum palmatum.
20:25Tahuang Step by Step to Prosperity
20:26This is the result I've been hoping for.
20:31Because magnetic signals are in the process of searching for spawning sites
20:34They will use their bodies to collect pollen and transfer it to the stigma.
20:37Helping Rhubarb tatarica complete pollination
20:46For this reason, Rheum palmatum did not hesitate to sacrifice its own leaves.
20:50Degenerate into this kind of package
20:53It has no chlorophyll
20:54Unable to provide energy for the growth of Rheum nobile
21:00However, while protecting its partners...
21:03This also ensured that its seeds could mature successfully.
21:07In the sheltered collaboration with YoYo Television Series Exclusive
21:52And in order to continue having rapid-wave pollination for its other companions in the future, the rhubarb...
21:56They even gave some of their seeds to the larvae of the Swiftweave.
22:01Let them rely on seeds to survive when they are most vulnerable.
22:25When the larvae have completed their development
22:28The seeds of Rheum palmatum have also matured.
22:34The life of Rhubarb is close to survival.
22:38The harsh winter of the plateau is approaching.
22:44The larvae sensed the withered yellow leaves.
22:47It can no longer be protected
22:50Seeking new shelter by crawling into the cracks in the rocks
22:52The long winter has passed.
22:55Waiting to meet with Rheum palmatum again next year when the flowers bloom
23:06Rhubarb and Swiftlet complete the entire cycle of life for each other.
23:19The enormous flower clusters of Rheum nobile make it the tallest plant here.
23:25This anecdote exhausted all the energy that Tahuang had accumulated throughout his life.
23:30But it was worth it.
23:33It rewarded Rheum palmatum with 7,000 to 16,000 seeds.
23:40About one-third of the seeds were shared with Xunwen.
23:44More seeds were scattered by the wind.
23:50Tahuang relies on this mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship
23:53Surviving in extreme environments
23:56And they have reproduced in this way for generations.
24:08If it weren't for the Tibetans discovering its medicinal secret...
24:12And it was written into the Tibetan Materia Medica.
24:14It still stands alone in this sparsely populated world heritage site.
24:33And on the plateau today
24:35The figure of Tahuang Xunzhuang is now hard to find.
24:41We are still unable to breed them artificially.
24:44A host of herbs, including Rheum palmatum
24:48They did not benefit from using value.
24:53Human harvesting has actually made their survival more difficult.
25:00The fate of traditional Chinese medicine has been tested time and again by humankind.
25:23These steep peaks
25:25Composed of red sandstone
25:27typical Danxia landform in China
25:35The exposed rocks resemble a desperate situation for life.
25:40However, a rare herb
25:42But he specifically chose this place for his wife to live.
25:47It is Shihu
25:54Long ago, there were people who made a living by picking stones from the lake.
25:58And passed down from generation to generation
26:19Drug dealer
26:20I grew up in the land of Danxia landforms.
26:22Our ancestors were herb gatherers in Shihu.
26:25Now he has given up his job in the city.
26:28Returning to my hometown to plant iron-skin stone lake
26:32The elders of the village in the past
26:35We go to Caishi Lake every June.
26:39Because June is the flower season at Shihu.
26:42On the high rocks
26:44Flowers are blooming at Tiepishi Lake
26:46It's better to be earlier.
26:49They will go along the mountains
26:51From Fujian to Jiangxi
26:53Guangdong to Guangxi
26:55Also Zhejiang and Hunan
26:57These provinces have small-scale topography
26:59Go to collect iron-skin stone lake
27:02The journey was arduous.
27:03It is also very dangerous
27:38Growing on cliffs is not an easy choice.
27:43However, this location can help it avoid resource-grabbing battlegrounds in the jungle.
27:50Sunlight is a highly sought-after resource for jungle plants.
27:55These plants need sunlight
27:57They overpowered each other and fought for territory.
28:02In order to gain more chances of survival
28:04Shi Hu painstakingly climbed up the towering cliffs and tree trunks.
28:13Although there is plenty of sunshine here
28:15But there was no soil.
28:16Severe lack of water and nutrients
28:21It's not easy to survive here.
28:25As a result, Shihu has evolved a powerful root system.
28:32The roots of Shihu have no root hairs.
28:34Highly specialized
28:36In an environment without soil
28:38Seokho chose to absorb moisture directly from the air.
28:45It took out a portion of the root and exposed it to the air.
28:49The function of these roots is not to anchor the plant.
28:52Instead, it absorbs water from the air to fuel its growth.
28:58In order to solve the nutrition problem
29:00Shih-hu has found a partner.
29:04They are fungi that attach to the roots.
29:13These root fungi can fix nitrogen from the air in Shihu Lake.
29:20It can also decompose animal and plant remains on stones.
29:24Provide the nutrients needed for the growth of Shihu
29:37Seokho, on the other hand, uses photosynthesis.
29:39In return, they provide energy to the root fungi.
29:49On a rock where iron-skinned food had never grown before
29:53The survival rate of *Phyllostachys edulis* is relatively low.
29:56Once the plants survive
29:58This indicates that there are beneficial bacteria on the stone.
30:01Then plant a stone lake on this rock.
30:04Its survival rate will be much better.
30:10Not only that
30:11Fungi even provided the starting point for life in Shihu.
30:16A single Shihu fruit can produce up to tens of thousands of seeds.
30:22The fruit splits open after ripening.
30:25Seeds as fine as dust drift in the wind
30:29It can be as tall as an airplane.
30:33This is also why Shih-hu can easily climb up the cliffs.
30:41But the tiny seed has a fatal flaw.
30:55The seeds of food were not Pelosi
30:57In nature, one cannot rely on one's own strength.
31:00Germination
31:01Only a few seeds
31:03With the help of donor fungi, it can have the opportunity to take root and sprout.
31:20In the wild
31:21Only a very small number of seeds are fortunate enough to receive the assistance of the donor fungi.
31:26help
31:26Rooting and sprouting
31:27Growing strong and vigorous essence
31:33Compared to three or five small leaves
31:36The robust and refined texture of the stone lake plant is the main feature of the entire plant.
31:42However
31:43When the summer sun shines directly on the bud walls
31:46Temperatures are often very high
31:51To protect the body's main trunk
31:53Shihu produces a large amount of polysaccharides.
31:56Increase body fluid viscosity to lock in moisture
32:02This allows it to stand proudly even on a scorching hot rock face.
32:09These polysaccharide chemicals are not essential for survival in Shihu Lake.
32:14They are collectively referred to as secondary metabolites.
32:19Compounds produced by Seokho in resisting adversity
32:22It can help it get through the difficult time.
32:24Undeterred by scorching heat and bitter cold
32:27Such vitality
32:28Even after the bet was won, they remained tenacious.
32:33It's still alive after this coloring.
32:35It can be kept here for a year.
32:37It won't die yet.
32:39Sometimes it's left for about six months.
32:41It will also bloom and sprout.
32:47The parts of Shihu used in medicine
32:48It is precisely its most vigorous essence
32:52In ancient China
32:54Shihu is known as the Soul-Binding Grass.
33:11Local dignitaries regarded Shihu as a sacred herb.
33:14Iron-skin stone lake is listed as the first of the nine immortal herbs.
33:27Ancient doctors did not know what was contained in the golden stalk.
33:32Based on their experience, they selected the golden stalks from Shihu Lake for medicinal and health-preserving purposes.
33:38Based on today's scientific research
33:40We know that polysaccharides in Shihu golden stalks
33:43It has the effect of improving immunity, etc.
33:45It is the main source of the medicinal properties of Shihu.
33:54Within the entire family of herbal medicines
33:56Various secondary metabolites produced by plants to resist adverse conditions
33:59It is the secret of all herbal plants
34:06They may be due to changes in the environment
34:09Or encountering animal gnawing
34:11Or it may be eroded by microorganisms.
34:14These substances stimulate the body's self-protective mechanisms.
34:16They are the plant's secret weapon
34:19Hidden deep within one's own body
34:28And after cooking plants
34:30This secret was discovered by humankind.
34:32Ultimately, it became what humans call medicine.
34:45The preciousness of Shihu has attracted a large number of medicinal herb collectors since ancient times.
34:51Because the herb gatherer relentlessly pursued him
34:53Wild Stone Lake is on the verge of extinction
34:59But today
35:00They became guides in protecting the wild Shihu species.
35:07Herb gatherers are familiar with their habits
35:10Understand their life and death
35:13Know when they bloom
35:14When will the results be?
35:18They utilize the original ecological protection
35:20Let Shihu return to nature
35:23The relationship between humans and herbal plants
35:25From the initial plunder
35:27Gradually moving towards symbiosis
35:30This allows people to gain a deeper understanding of herbal medicine.
35:32It provided a fresh start
35:44Madagascar, in southeastern Africa
35:47It is a beautiful island nation
35:50Unique geography and climate
35:52This brought to the island nation
35:54Lush and bustling tropical forests
35:56A wide variety of strange creatures
35:59crisscrossing rivers and waterways
36:10But beyond beauty
36:12This is also a paradise for bacteria.
36:14This provided a breeding ground for malaria.
36:21Warm climate and poverty-stricken
36:24hygiene level
36:24It is the main reason for the rampant spread of malaria.
36:30The pathogen causing malaria is called *Plasmodium*.
36:33Primarily transmitted by mosquitoes
36:49unclean drinking water
36:51This further fueled its proliferation.
36:55Almost all regions of Madagascar
36:57The pandemic exists in all of them.

37:47A plant has become key to fighting malaria.
37:51It is Artemisia annua
37:54It is now a major provider of malaria drugs.
38:0827-year-old Faratina is a malaria patient.
38:11She is also a mother of three.
38:14She was already very weak when she was diagnosed with the illness.
38:18The doctor required hospitalization.
38:23At first she resisted.
38:25She was worried that being hospitalized would interfere with her farm work.
38:28Worried about high hospitalization costs
38:30She was even more worried that her three children would be left unattended.
38:36But her condition worsened.
38:39Fever and vomiting
38:40Her body no longer allowed her to make any other choices.
38:50This is the best hospital in the area.
38:53This disease is harmful to people
38:55Anyone who encounters this could face disaster.
38:59Faratina was surrounded by patients who died of malaria.
39:41Faratina's husband brought her his own bedding.
39:45Her family members take turns bringing her cooked meals every day.
39:51The children were playing in the open space outside the ward.
39:55The whole family devoted all their efforts to accompanying them.
39:58It alleviated the anxiety caused by malaria
40:23The onset of illness is merely the final result.
40:26More often, it's those who carry germs without realizing it.
40:32Asymptomatic carriers of pathogens
40:34Unbeknownst to many, this accelerated the spread of the epidemic.
40:48To prevent
40:49The doctors here go to the village for consultations every week.
40:55Faratina's village is one of the key villages under monitoring.
41:02With the intervention of doctors
41:04The countdown to the onset of malaria has begun.
41:14This place will be a stable place for setting up stalls in the future.
41:26Platform Fish Records Review
41:53Because there was no onset of illness
41:54Most villagers are unaware of the importance of malaria prevention.
41:57He seemed somewhat bewildered.
42:00However, they still readily accepted the doctor's examination.
42:07Children have relatively weaker immune systems.
42:09Become a key monitoring target
42:46Same preparation
42:54Same
43:17This little girl is lucky.
43:19She escaped the clutches of malaria.
43:23This doesn't mean she's safe from now on.
43:26But she wouldn't worry about it.
43:32Today, people here have easy access to artemisinin-based drugs.
43:39And all of this stems from Chinese scientific researchers.
43:42Artemisinin was extracted from Artemisia annua for the first time.
43:54Statistics show that 500,000 people die from malaria worldwide each year.
43:59The 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine Committee awarded this highest honor in the world.
44:04Awarded to Tu Youyou, the discoverer of artemisinin
44:06In recognition of artemisinin's contributions to the world
44:11Artemisia annua originates from traditional medicine
44:13Saved the lives of tens of thousands of people
44:16Revitalizing modern medicine
44:29Research on Artemisia annua in China continues to this day.
44:34Researchers are constantly trying new hybrid varieties
44:37To increase the content of artemisinin
44:42These new varieties were introduced by pharmaceutical companies in Madagascar.
44:50Chen, a researcher, still has star rating.
44:53Researchers are separated by family.
