Readers cannot say goodbye, this independent bookstore is about to elegantly turn around Hengshan | Readers | Bookstore
On August 16th, the Shanghai Book Fair opened. Hengshan · Heji, as one of the sub venues of the Shanghai Book Fair, has always brought wonderful activities to readers.
However, recently this bookstore announced that it will officially bid farewell to readers at the end of August.
On August 18th, writer Wei Sixiao brought his new book "Shen Ying and Chen Zikai" to Hengshan · He Ji, a well-known literary critic, professor, and emotional blogger named Liang Yong'an with millions of fans; Wei Sixiao's friend Zheng Zaihuan, who is also a writer, and literary critic Wang Yumeng gathered in a space on the second floor of a bookstore, dedicating a discussion to readers about a brand new novel discussing gender and urban-rural relationships.
Perhaps due to the limited space, or the warm natural wood color of the surrounding bookshelves, or the high popularity of this afternoon's lecture, the atmosphere of this sharing session exudes a warm smell. Everyone is like a group of friends sitting up close, chatting, discussing life, and also exploring literature.
The new book sharing event was fully booked.
The bookstore has also set up a dedicated area to display the novel "Shen Ying and Chen Zikai".
The sharing session ended, and a reader approached Liang Yong'an and asked him to sign his book collection. In order to meet Teacher Liang, she arrived at the bookstore two hours in advance and waited. She told Lao Liang that she often extracts some words from his books for her boyfriend to read. "Every time we argue, it's most effective to use Teacher Liang's words to reason with him."
Perhaps driven by book fair activities, or perhaps because readers are reluctant to bid farewell to the bookstore. August 18th is a working day, and the bookstore still has a very good popularity. In any corner of the bookstore, there are people scattered quietly reading.
Hengshan · Heji has beautiful retro large windows, and comfortable sofas are thoughtfully placed beside the windows, allowing readers to enjoy the reading process here.
On weekday afternoons, people's figures reading are everywhere.
The small bookstore space is full of people.
A history teacher is a frequent visitor to Hengshan Heji. I heard that the bookstore was going to close, and he walked a long way, sweating profusely. In order to come and chat with the staff, he picked out a few good books as a farewell.
In the limited space on the second floor of Hengshan Heji, a small exhibition about Jin Yucheng's paintings is being held.
Once upon a time, the Chinese and foreign magazine walls of Hengshan · Heji were the most distinctive area in the store. Now they will also bid farewell to readers.
The bookstore has a small area, but it still provides comfortable reading and social space for customers.
Hengshan Heji Coffee Window has always been known for its high-quality output. Each cup is freshly ground by a barista, with a rich and distinctive flavor that is no less impressive than most boutique coffee shops in Shanghai.
From 2015 to 2023, eight years is not a long time, even for an independent bookstore. The first image themed bookstore in Shanghai, a well-known magazine themed bookstore in Shanghai, and a benchmark of independent bookstores in the past... Hengshan · He Ji has many symbols on its body, which used to be full of enthusiasm for high-quality reading and imagination for what a bookstore should look like, from initiators to readers.
In the past 8 years, Shanghai has opened countless popular and internet famous bookstores, with the most beautiful appearance, the most expensive collection, and the best cultural and creative works... Looking back today, Hengshan · Heji seems a bit old, old, and small. But the reason why its departure is unforgettable is that it still looks like a bookstore that serious readers would love.
Looking up and down, there are books, and anyone who enjoys reading can easily find their favorite good books within their sight; The passageway is narrow and the stairs are steep, but the design language of the space does not have cumbersome conditions, and everywhere reflects the thoughtfulness of injecting pragmatism and the taste of point-to-point display.
