Bookstore is a way of life, not just a living

Zhang Jing has been running a secondhand bookstore with her husband for 15 years in Xinyang, Henan province. They used to sell secondhand books on the street before they managed to get their own bookstore. "The bookstore is the greatest source of pleasure in our lives," she said. "We are deeply in love with the books, and we also want to share books we love with others." When a book has its own history, you read it not only for its content, but also for the story behind it, she said.
