Rockefeller gift funds eye hospital in Peking visit
In Peking Rockefeller Foundation funds support an eye hospital through a gift of $1,000 from the boy Emperor in gratitude for services by an eye doctor linked to Union Medical College. The emperor, who is near sighted, allowed a special edict to permit the foreign doctor access to the Forbidden City. The visit reportedly brought hope for the emperor’s recovery from illness and boosted belief in divine healing powers.
