First aid and is having something of a renaissance in the city as Beijing's subway stations arm themselves with AEDs in response to an incident that prompted public outcry over lack of emergency preparedness. The incident has been a reminder that accidents do happen, and sometimes they are far more severe than we expect. Of course, having the resources available in case the need should arise is one thing, but knowing what to do with them is another entirely.

If nothing else, building your knowledge of first aid is a form of mental insurance, knowing that you can act swiftly and decisively to help if someone is in danger. But if you are in Beijing and you would like to take a First Aid class or two, where do you go?
