Some great events coming up from the Royal Asiatic Society China, Beijing – including a March 15 charabanc trip and hole-in-the-wall lunch with me to Bussiere Garden, the newly restored Western Hills retreat of Doctor Jean-Augustin Bussière of the French Legation, Peking Union Medical College and personal physician to Yuan Shi-kai….it was also a weekend retreat and salon for Peking’s most interesting French people such as the poet Saint-John Perse and the Sinologist André d’Hormon – places are limited I’m afraid (what with it being a bus and that…) communications@rasbj.org
