ON April 8, The Sanlian Taofen Bookstore in Beijing started to run for 24 hours a day. It’ll first run for 10 days. If everything goes successfully, the store may never close again, it said. Many say it’s a brave move because people read fewer books nowadays. But book-lovers are happy to see the first 24-hour bookstore in Beijing. The most famous 24-hour bookstore in China is the Eslite Bookstore (诚品书店) in Taiwan.
