Cool stuff. A Communist babe from China, in the 1970s, went back and looked at 2000 year old texts there and found out how to deal with malaria. She won the Nobel for it, although the reason for her work was to help North Vietnam win the war there. There are likely some real gems in those ancient texts.
Amazing story...even if she was (and is) a hard-core Leftist.
