At the entrance of a bookstore in District C on the second floor of Zhongxing Road, there were young people waiting in front of a row to go in and take photos. The bookstore is only a piece of palm-sized place, less than 11 square meters, and most of the area is occupied by piles of old books, and the space can be settled is only about 3 square meters. The 70-year-old shop owner Wang Miyu set a rule that he can take pictures, but he has to buy an old book after taking pictures. Such "overlord clauses" not only did not arouse the disgust of the photographer, but also attracted many repeat customers to recommend books to him. (Picture source: Upstream News)
bookstore is 3.5 meters high, from the floor to the ceiling, and is filled with layers of old books, including humanities, geography, teaching aids, technology, art... To get the top book, you have to climb up on the ladder. "All kinds of books are piled up irregularly, but they have a unique beauty! They are simply works of art!" Liu Ruoyan, a girl who works as a self-media in Chongqing, exclaimed while posing in various positions among the pile of books, asking her friends to press the shutter.
"Hi, it's just an old book, where does the beauty come from!" The owner Wang Miyu smiled indifferently, but there was pride in his smile that could not be concealed. He said that some old bookstore owners regard books as treasures and are not allowed to move around. "I never can't. Books are just for people to turn them out." Wang Miyu did not classify books, but was piled on simple bookshelf made of angle steel.
Wang Miyu is 70 years old this year. In March 2000, he borrowed money to open this bookstore purely to make money to support his family. Some of the books in bookstores are taken by readers after moving, some are collected from book vendors, some are bought from scavengers, and some are purchased from scrap purchase stations. Some people call him "the book saver", which he loves to listen to. More and more people are taking photos with
, which has also had an impact on the normal business of bookstores. At first, Wang Miyu was receiving normal receptions, and gradually he couldn't bear it. Some readers suggested to him that after taking the photo, they had to buy an old book and leave. Wang Miyu adopted it, "I also hope to remind young people to read less mobile phones and more books!" So, the young people who walked out of the bookstore with cameras were all holding an old book in their hands.
