This year's Shanghai Book Fair "National Book Gathering Exhibition Area" features booths for two private book brands that are both ordinary and unique. Normally, they are water droplets that flow into the entire sea of books; Speaking of which, I just experienced the Zhuozhou flood, and a large number of books in the warehouse were damaged. They appeared at the Shanghai Book Fair as scheduled.

In the "Unread" exhibition area, there is a sticker on the arm of Ma Yuanyuan, a staff member who introduces new books to readers, with a sentence adapted from Nietzsche's golden line: "Anything that cannot drown me will make me strong.". In order to participate in the Shanghai Book Fair, "Unread" urgently ordered this batch of stickers and gave them to every book buyer. A small sticker, low-key, but also with an attitude. Ma Yuanyuan said, "We treat this participation in the Shanghai Book Fair as an ordinary exhibition. Books are the best way to communicate with readers."

On the third day of the Shanghai Book Fair on August 18th, Ma Yuanyuan and her colleagues continued to "fight" and served in the exhibition area 24/7. "Due to the impact of the disaster, someone must 'stay at home' and handle follow-up matters. We only had four colleagues here, and no one changed shifts. Although standing all the time was tiring, readers buying our books felt like encountering like-minded acquaintances." She raised her hand to "Polyphony: Bach and the Sorrow of Life" and said, "I really like this book, and many readers like it. I'm very happy."

The "Unread" brand was established in 2014 and has gained a good reputation among readers for producing "interesting, practical, and informative" books. Since its second year of establishment, it has participated in the Shanghai Book Fair almost every year. Before the flood, "unread" had already shipped the exhibited books to Shanghai. However, there are still impacts. On the one hand, there is a shortage of manpower, and on the other hand, some books are not easily restocked. The books needed for the confirmed signing and exchange activities after a few rounds are urgently transferred from other channels for support. "Is this book still available?" A reader raised an "unread" artist series dictionary, and Ma Yuanyuan confirmed, "There's only this one left on the table."

The "Zhanlu Culture" exhibition area covers an area of 100 square meters this year. "We have been participating in the Shanghai Book Fair since 2016, and this year's booth is larger than before, with special decorations made." Gu Meng, the channel manager of Zhanlu Culture, told reporters that in addition to showcasing nearly 10000 paper books covering the entire variety, Zhanlu also brings a variety of products such as e-books and courses. The "99 yuan gas bag" on the exhibition stand outside attracts readers to stop. "Our two main warehouses are located in Fangshan and Zhuozhou, and the damaged code ocean costs about 30 million yuan," Gu Meng said.

"A few days ago, a grandfather came to our booth with his granddaughter and said that we are not easy and need to support us." The exhibition stand for viewing news on Liberation Daily is opposite Zhanlu, and Zhanlu booth staff member Dong Xiu'an said, "The teacher from the newspaper also came to us to buy several books."
