A Memoir of Hong Kong Bookseller
More than ten articles have been added to the updated version, describing the situation of the old book industry in Macao, the stories of the exchanges between China and Taiwan, etc. The Shenzhou Used Bookstore opened in 1966. After many times of relocation and change of business direction, the owner Aujoeng Man Lei pioneered, kept the business, and inherited it for more than half a century.
This book traces back the history of second-hand bookstores in China, records exchanges among peers in the second-hand book industry, and witnesses the reprinting and circulation of new literary works in the 1960s and 1970s. The book contains a large number of old books handled by China, as well as photos of many famous writers who visited the bookstore. The content contains both quotations and human feelings, and the materials are both soft and hard, which is a very precious cultural heritage.
