If you can't do that (if you can't do that), you can ask your seniors to become a funeral home. " - Yani, manager of a bookstore that has been operating for about four years. The bookstore was unusually deserted in the afternoon, two cases of water were left in the corner, and Yanni had to carry all the books that had just arrived into the store by himself. Her partner is about to leave, and she will be left alone to carry this independent bookstore, which has been in operation for four years. The political storm not only took the industry, but also cut off the lifeblood of the book industry. The Taiwanese logistics company, Jiada International Logistics, announced after the incident that it refused to carry goods from the detained bookstore in accordance with Hong Kong's national security law. Although Yanni's Bookstore is not on the arrest list, book orders from Taiwan should now be submitted to the shipping company for inspection. Logistics are affected. Some of the books took two months to arrive in Hong Kong after they were ordered. Ugly, Yanni simply helped other overseas or local bookstores to order on behalf of others, accidentally becoming a transit point for half of the independent book industry. Promoting the Study Club and the vibrant campus of the past is now on hold due to anonymous complaints or regulatory red lines. Faced with unknown risks, Yani chose to use "hell jokes" to alleviate her fear. She often jokes with her boyfriend that she might get arrested if she gets off the bus. Behind the joke is anxiety, but also the indifference that does not hesitate to evade. When asked about the bookstore's future plans, Yani laughed and joked that she can't even predict next month, but has decided to go to the Taipei Book Fair alone next year to personally launch a Hong Kong independent publisher.
