    In Chinese, the first character (Tu) is the family name while the following character(s) are the given name (Youyou).

    p.s. the “ou” sound in Chinese is pronounced more like an “o” rather than than an “ooh”, so the joke doesn’t really work (not quite, but it’s close enough. I’m not very good at speaking Mandarin so take this with a slight grain of salt)
