北京市西城区 后海北沿46号 宋庆龄同志旧居


MORE ABOUT THE EVENT: Long before most people had heard the name "Kardashian," the Soong Sisters of Shanghai were the talk of the town, famous in history for their marriages, their media presence, and in the case of Soong Ch'ing-ling, for her commitment to social causes and the legacy of her husband, the revolutionary Sun Yat-sen. We'll visit the Beijing home of this remarkable woman and discuss her life and times. Join the RASBJ for this fun excursion to one of the city's most scenic historic homes and back into an earlier era of China's modern history.
