Finally, I went to visit the newly opened "bookstore", the Duoyu Sanlitun Store, which contains a reading space and a department store, and what the interior looks like.
The "book list" you see here is not only a reading recommendation, but a life scene related to reading.
Of course, you don't have to care whether reading can directly act on life, to learn a word such as leeches (Cantonese pronunciation: kei4 naa2, see "Tide Map"); to see a building, such as the Chrysler Building, every page turn can be regarded as a trip.
I hope that reading will allow everyone to see the multiculturalism that has not been homogenized.

To cross a street, one must first cross one-half of the street; to cross one-half of the street, one must first cross a quarter of it, to cross a quarter, must ...

In fact, how to cross the street is a scenario of Zeno's dichotomy, and this book is a popular science book on the mathematical concept of "infinity".

Their wonderful bonds illuminate each other in a warm story full of good intentions.
Shakespeare's lines and verses mention a large number of plants, although they are small, but they often reveal the hidden threads of the story. Shakespeare's Botanical Poems restore Shakespeare's plants and accompany each plant with a portrait. From A to Z, the book picks up more than 170 (almost all) plants scattered throughout Shakespeare's writings, which is Shakespeare's "literary garden."
As Victor Hugo said: In Shakespeare's work, the birds are singing, the shrubs are pulling leaves, and the hearts of the people are imprinted and breathing; the clouds are wandering, the weather is cold and hot, the morning bell is twilight, the morning and evening are coming, the forest whispers, and people talk on their knees. In this book, everyone can find related verses written by Shakespeare for a certain plant he likes.
"Love Myth", which was released in The Theater in December, became the biggest surprise at the end of 2021, although the "fame" of the movie is not large, but most of the people who finally walked into the cinema gave a high evaluation, and the 8.3 score of Douban is also very convincing.
The big Shanghai in "Love Myth" is hidden between small alleys and neighbors, close to the ground but exquisite everywhere. Like the broken Jimmy Choo at the feet of Ma Yili who came out of the narrow alley, and like the Coffe Time when the shoemaker squatted on the matza, this pyrotechnic delicacy is the most simple refinement in Shanghai.
If we look for it again, we can still see the bookshelf of the old White family in the movie when everyone watches Fellini's "Love Myth", let's see what books this artist who teaches the neighborhood to draw usually reads?
This book is a history of philosophy compiled in the simplest and most humorous text, opening the book, starting with the troubled Socrates, and thoroughly understanding the philosophers in human history, and the final answers submitted after exhausting their life's experience and hard thinking. But obviously after reading so many philosophical truths, it is difficult for Lao Bai to explain the various stories encountered in life.
The book in the corner of "The Joker's Wanderings" is the autobiography of "Love Myth" director Federico Fellini, who is the only director who has won 1 Cannes Palme d'Or, 2 Venice Silver Lions, and 5 Academy Awards.
"Brand is the result of cognitive efficiency, the process of brand creation is the process of cognitive efficiency formation", this book "The Future of New Brands" answers the question of where new brands come from and where to go, and the old white who read this book may have had the experience of working in the workplace or even starting a business?
"Spice Republic" is a history of incense, recording the history of spices and kitchen cooking from the Middle Ages to the present, and it is most appropriate for a Shanghai man with superb cooking skills to read this book.
Shao Yihui, the director and screenwriter of "Love Myth", once quoted Márquez in an interview: "I firmly believe that the future is for women to support the world, and men only have to make trouble." And used to describe his film: "Coincidentally, I wrote about these powerful women and troublemakers, but they are all equally charming." 」 "Maybe this "The Life of Márquez" appeared on the shelves to pay tribute to the great writer García Márquez, who coincided with the director in time and space.
Editorial Department of The Obelisk of Yilin:
The "crescent moon and roses" are like the epitome of Persian civilization: there is both the killing entanglement on the "new moon" and the gentle tenderness under the "rose".
"The Crescent Moon and the Rose" is a general history of "Persians" writing "Persia", and its profound content and unique writing perspective make us think that this book deserves to be more "amazing" to meet with readers. In the planning process, we once chose Chinese title for the book through the open solicitation of Weibo, and among the hundreds of submissions received, the name "Crescent Moon and Rose" made the friends in the editorial department shine.
The "crescent moon" is a common element in Persian civilization, and it is common in both architectural design and literature. The "rose" is the national flower of Iran today and is often found in various artistic creations. "Crescent Moon and Rose" is like the epitome of this civilization: there is both the killing entanglement on the "New Moon" and the gentle tenderness under the "Rose".
In the editing and processing processing process, we use some "careful machines", such as setting up a page in front of each chapter and attaching the coin patterns used in the corresponding historical periods, so as to make the whole book more "Persian";
In the marketing and promotion process, we worked closely with various departments in the company to launch a special edition of the book mouth painting "Rose Edition", which combined the pre-sale and promotion of new books into one.
In the Mechanical and Electrical Institute in Sanlitun, Beijing, there is a façade full of "retro style" - the outer wall crawling with climbing tigers, green wall paint, and retro fonts pasted on the glass, which is the new Store in Beijing that catches more fish.
The store, like the Shanghai store, is called the "Fish Catching Cycle Store", indicating that the new store is no longer a bookstore that only sells second-hand books, but also sells second-hand clothing and even more recycled goods.
This is the first store with more than 1,000 square meters of Fish, and they closed the old Beijing store on Dawang Road at the end of 2021 and chose to open the door of the new store on the first day of 2022, which is quite "resigning the old and welcoming the new".
The interior of the store uses a large area of green tile elements, and replaces the partition wall with a rusty metal frame, with LED bar screens showing the current division of categories, and a large area of skylights can be seen from the head.
In 2017, Duojiaoyu was launched as an online second-hand book trading platform, and at the end of 2019, the Wilderness Meteorological Observatory reported the opening of the Multi-Catch Fish Recycling Store in Shanghai, and their brand business has gradually expanded from the original book to electronic products and clothing. Still, the store's opening is exciting news for the book industry.
We should applaud the new bookstore in Beijing, and hope to hear more such good news in the future, so that readers can have more spiritual "refuges".
