"If you ask me to spend another 10 or 20 years to recreate such a cultural corner, I don't have the energy and confidence." This is the word left by the store when it closed last year, the store advocate strong looked lonely. At the end of last year, in order to cooperate with the regional building rectification plan, the Fudan Used Bookstore, which had left a deep mark on the hearts of generations of readers, was officially closed.
And now the good news, the treasure shop is about to "return", the new site is at No. 88 Weide Road, near University Road, is currently preparing to design and renovate, what makes the shopkeeper regain confidence in the old store to open a new store?
With such a question, the box sister approached the store to advocate strong.
The store was closed, but Zhang Qiangwan did not expect that the online thoughts about this store were getting longer and longer, "more than 60 square meters of more than 50,000 books contained in the 'treasure shop'", "old-fashioned wooden stairs and electric fans creaking" "before closing the store finally punched in, checkout queue to "Golden Rooster Independence", the most frequent message is "waiting for you to come back" brushed dozens of floors.
The reader's expectation made Zhang Qiang determined to "continue to operate", but the location of the site became a practical difficulty at the moment. The fire safety of the building where the original site was located was not qualified to be renovated; and there were companies and institutions outside that sent invitations for free rent, and he also declined, because Yangpu carried too many memories of the bookstore. Zhang Qiang was around Fudan from the beginning of the stall, he was "afraid" to leave here, "It was Wujiaochang Street helping me, driving me out to find a shop." ”
Driving a private car to accompany Zhang Qiang around the circle to find a storefront is Yu Lei, deputy director of the Wujiaochang Street Community Management Office, whose work book clearly lists the location and positioning: close to the university, close to consumers, and more sensitive to rent. Even if it is an "old driver" in the street area to find such a favorite shop, it is not smooth sailing, he accompanied Zhang Qiang to talk about 6 or 7 shops.
Yu Lei recalled, "Often encounter places close to consumers, the rent of used bookstores can not be accepted; the address that the rent can accept, and it is far away from consumers, it is indeed quite difficult to reconcile." But our street did not give up, has been building a platform, and finally found a satisfactory location. ”
The new site is located at No. 88 Weide Road on The University Road Branch Road, and the two rows of pink cherry blossoms next to the road have been budded and ready to be released. Compared with the original site, the area of the new store has doubled, with a height of 4.4 meters, Zhang Qiang insists on retaining the original staircase design pattern, "One of the places I am most satisfied with is actually the second floor, and many readers especially miss our original pattern." The original place is chaos, and here we have to add some order to the chaos and make a general classification, which is a good thing for many readers, because they have been reminding me of this matter."
The conditions and environment are better and safer than before, and Zhang Qiang's momentum to open a good store is also more sufficient" It is really a lot of supporting voices, which gives me too much confidence to rebuild this place into a cultural habitat that everyone is willing to come." ”
Readers, Wujiaochang Street, Yangpu Commerce... This way Zhang Qiang thanked many people and units, these names let him say "no energy and confidence" when the store closed, he regained enthusiasm. Also thank you Zhang Qiang for also making an agreement in the city, spring and warm flowers bloom in season, and the fragrance of books lingers on University Road.
Reporter's Note:
All along, there have been many book lovers gathered around Wujiaochang, including teachers and students from 7 universities such as Fudan and Caida, and young knowledge workers in 8 science and technology parks. In addition to Fudan Used Bookstore, Wujiaochang also has about 10 physical bookstores such as Book City, Dayin Bookstore, and Xueyuefeng Yong Book Club, so why do we still hope it stays?
Because in the eyes of readers, Fudan Used Bookstore is a choice. Students came on bicycles, and white-collar workers came with the tiredness of a day's work. In addition to new books and online shopping, we can use more affordable prices to meet the surprise of book shopping offline. Those books may be older than themselves, blessed with the dense reading notes of their predecessors, and the old bookstores have placed people's inner feelings and hopes.
In Zhang Qiang's heart, Fudan Used Bookstore is a kind of perseverance. Professors are regular visitors here, often shouting to Zhang Qiang after school or after class, "The people who won't let you leave work are coming again!" These fragments, the time when scholars love books like treasures, are also the reason why Zhang Qiang has persisted. He likes that old books can see the great waves of history in the traces of time.
From the street point of view, the used bookstore is a scenic line that should be around the university. The bookish temperament and commercial prosperity of Wujiaochang are integrated, each bookstore has its own advantages, and the diversity of people's needs will be met to the greatest extent.
For the city, we will respect the needs of each group, and measure the effectiveness of urban governance by whether the masses are satisfied or dissatisfied, whether they agree or not, and whether they are happy or unhappy. The return of this used bookstore can make people living in the city feel the temperature of the "people's city", and will make everyone's sense of gain and happiness "full".
