A very small bookstore sits on the banks of Nanjing's Qinhuai River and operates with a philosophy of leaving the space to its guests. The shop provides a warm, flexible place for different people at different times. Four adopted stray cats serve as the store's staff, and the interior walls are covered with message postcards left by visitors. The initial collection came from the owner's personal books, and as visitor numbers grew, new and used books were donated one after another, reinforcing a community-driven, evolving collection.
