On January 25th, in the Huaqi Art Museum, the second day of the trial opening, the fragrance of books and coffee was strong, and cultural experts and scholars, coffee lovers, reading enthusiasts and coffee shop owners from Liaoshen gathered together to read "Coffee Alley".
It is understood that "Coffee Alley" is an innovative attempt by the CPPCC Heping District to build a cultural core for the cultural and historical work of the CPPCC in order to tell the story of peace, tell the story of Shenyang, and expand the social influence of the CPPCC's cultural and historical materials on the premise of highlighting the regional historical and cultural characteristics and tapping the advantages of regional cultural resources. It is also the second part of the Heping District CPPCC Literature and History Series "The Depths of Peace" after "City Heroes".
Chu Guoqing, director of the Shenyang CPPCC Museum of Culture and History and a famous writer, is a senior coffee lover. He said that the "Coffee Alley" of Peace is one of the representatives of the vitality and quality of Shenyang's international metropolis. This textured "Coffee Alley" is a beautiful cultural business card of the neighborhood. Guan Tong, one of the authors of "Coffee Alley", introduced that this book records a number of historical and architectural points between Jingjie and Weilu in the east of Heping District, as well as the stories of more than 20 characteristic shop operators who are mainly cafes. They are the city's warm and uplifting force, making the story of the depths of peace extraordinarily real and exciting.
As an aboriginal born in the South Market Street, Zhao Xu, a professor at the School of Liberal Arts and Law of Shenyang University, is also a senior "coffee guest", he said, "Coffee Alley" is a collection of artistic, instrumental, academic, humanistic and literary in one of the good books, both fireworks and life style, with easy-to-understand words to make the elegant history and culture more humane, reading this can be carried in hand, can deeply perceive the taste and heritage of the Heping District, and truly touch the breath and rhythm of "International Shen".
Tan Zheng, executive vice president of the Heping District Coffee and Roasting Association, is one of the coffee shops mentioned in "Coffee Alley". "Owning your own coffee shop was a childhood dream, and choosing to open here was a cultural attraction," he said.
In Shenyang, there are many places where you can drink coffee, but the cafes in the commercial districts generally do not have a culture associated with them. The coffee alleys of Pingnan Market have a literary and artistic taste. Whether the lights outside the door are dim, or the wind and rain come late, there are various colors, tastes and temperatures inside the door, full of personality and readable things, constituting thousands of scenes... You can't help but bow down and savor it.
At the event, the leaders of the CPPCC of Heping District presented books to Zhang Lin, the representative of the coffee shop operator, the secretary general of the Heping District Coffee and Roasting Association, and Mellow Coffee. Liu Dawei, vice president of Heping District Coffee and Roasting Association and MAGENAN Coffee, presented coffee to Chu Guoqing, the consultant of the book, on behalf of the coffee shop operator.

With the merger of Bajing Street and South Market Street, the resources of the neighborhood are more abundant. At present, there are 136 coffee beverage merchants in the 3.44 square kilometers area of the South Market, including 57 cafes, far exceeding the average level of first-tier cities in China. The coffee shops all over the jurisdiction carry the urban memory of the South Market, which has been deeply embedded in the spatial texture of the block, integrated into the daily life of citizens, and conveyed the humanistic temperature of the city and the steaming fireworks life. As long as you walk into the South Market, there is always a coffee shop for you, which can accommodate all your emotions and cheer for the city's strivers and dreamers.
