Before 2011, Tu had been obscure for decades, and is described as "almost completely forgotten by people" by Wen Wei Po in Hong Kong.[6]

A 2007 interview shows Tu's living conditions are very poor[1]. She is living in an old apartment building in Dongcheng District, Beijing, where it has heating shortage and only two electricity-consuming household appliances - a telephone and a refrigerator, which is also used by her to store herb samples[1].

Tu is regarded as the Professor of Three None's (no postgraduate degree, no abroad study/research experience, not a member of any Chinese national academies, i.e. Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering)[7]. When Tu was young, it was early period of the People's Republic of China, there was no postgraduate degree programs in P.R.China (only after 1979), and China was largely isolated from the rest of the world. Tu now is regarded as a representative figure of the first generation Chinese medical workers since the establishment of the P.R.China in 1949.[8]
