A landmark Shanghai bookstore shut down by city authorities six years ago is set to open a new chapter in the United States.
Jifeng Bookstore, once popular with Shanghai’s liberal intelligentsia for its wide range of academic titles and seminars, will reopen as “JF Books” in Washington on September 1.
“After six years, in a new country, we have dedicated our hearts and souls to restart Jifeng and bring the only Chinese bookstore to Washington DC,” Jifeng Bookstore owner Yu Miao said in a WeChat post on Saturday.
Jifeng, or “monsoon”, comes from the store’s slogan: “There is a crack in everything, and that is how the monsoon blows in.”
