    1930 Yenping leper village"The little hospital property is very well suited to the work we are trying to do. Screened throughout, with abundant garden space and water supply, the sunny, airy rooms are very attractive even to visitors. The complete plant, including separate rooms for the caretaker, cost about $2,000.00 Mex., the larger part of which was contributed through the American Mission to Lepers"(J E Skinner, 'Yenping', in James L Maxwell, "Ridding China of Leprosy" The China Medical Journal 44 (1930): 785)
