(260421) -- CHANGCHUN, April 21, 2026 (Xinhua) -- A book lover selects books at Fanmo Bookstore in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin Province, April 15, 2026. Fanmo Bookstore, a second-hand book store, lies in an alley of an old residential area in Changchun. Spanning 400 square meters, it houses more than 100,000 books. Most of its space is given to books, with just over a dozen seats set aside for free reading.

The bookstore is run by Ma Ruofan. In 2020, she met her husband, who was already running the place. Together, they took over his mother's collection of second-hand books, and have been tending to the store with their devotion ever since.

Ma turned the online-only store into a real destination by redesigning its layout and upgrading services. Today, the bookstore has become a haven for book lovers. (Xinhua/Xu Chang)
