Sekwa Eye Hospital is one of the pioneer private hospitals in Modern China. It was founded by a group of eye physicians and surgeons in Beijing in 2004. With the support of the Norwegian FK Foundation (Fredskorpset) and later the Research Council of Norway, Sekwa has built partnerships with institutions from several countries, including Thailand, Mongolia, Nepal, Bangladesh and Norway. With these partnerships, Sekwa has built an international environment for its medical service, training and research, and has become one of the very few hospitals in China with the privilege of independent international cooperation, issued by the Administration of Foreign Experts of the State of the People's Republic of China [1]. The hospital has been appointed as a specialized eye care center in Beijing and a regional eye center under a national program of Ministry of Science and Technology of China [2] since 2007. In a Reuters' interview in 2008, the Director of Sekwa expressed different opinions about the serious eye health problems of the school children in China and questioned the rational of the national program of eye massage exercises, which has brought attentions about the problems of Chinese education system and the practice of traditional Chinese medicine in China

The Prince Chun Mansion (simplified Chinese: 醇亲王府; traditional Chinese: 醇親王府; pinyin: Chún qīn wángfǔ), also known as the Northern Mansion (北府, Běifǔ), is a large residence in the siheyuan style with lavish private garden located near the Shichahai neighborhood in central Beijing. The grounds had been part of a villa built by Mingju, an official in the court of the Kangxi Emperor. It would later be seized by Heshen, a favorite of Emperor Qianlong, and following Heshen's purge and execution in 1799, it would be bestowed on Yongxing, Prince Cheng, by his brother, the Emperor Jiaqing, and the mansion was renovated. The mansion would change hands several times, eventually ending up as the residence of a minor Qing official named Yusu. In 1888, was granted to Yixuan, Prince Chun, the biological father of the Emperor Guangxu, by his sister-in-law, Empress Dowager Cixi. In 1891, the First Prince Chun died, and his title and the mansion was inherited by his second surviving son, Zaifeng. It was at the mansion, in 1906, Puyi, the last Qing emperor, was born to Zaifeng. Prince Chun would serve as regent for Puyi, from Puyi's accession in 1908, until the overthrow of the dynasty in 1912. Despite the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Chun would be allowed to stay in the mansion, and he died there in 1951. Its garden became the residence of Soong Ching-ling, the widow of Sun Yat-sen, between 1963 and her death in 1981; it is now a public museum as her former residence open to visitors.
