Chaosheng who re-entered the world
Can you still remember the summer of 2021? The memories of the Dandu editorial department are like this: I kept complaining about the late summer of that year, and was unwilling to stay in Beijing, so I decided to launch “Dandu Weekend” . Since then, we have often “fake jobs” 
, went to a city on a certain weekend, took a newly published book – single reading Mook or single reading new book, as well as authors, translators and their friends, and spent many words and sentences in the air with readers everywhere Flying weekend – face-to-face communication is so important and beautiful.
Although it was always difficult to start in 2022, Single Reading tried its best to create some memories, so that the upgraded version of “Single Reading Weekend” consisting of salons, exhibitions, podcasts, tea parties, etc., landed in Changsha Mirror Bookstore and Guangzhou Sunset Book Fair , Foshan Xianxing Bookstore… After a period of stagnation, this Lantern Festival , “Single Reading Weekend” can finally catch up with the fashion and come to Quanzhou , which has been fascinated for a long time and has a mellow taste of the year!
Quanzhou is the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, the intersection of different cultures, and always faces the vast sea. This single reading combines the local Chizi space in Quanzhou to find the lifeboat that leads to more life possibilities. From the third day of the first lunar month (January 24) , the exhibition “Single Reading in Chizi” has been exhibited in Chizi Space, as well as the new book salon of “Single Reading 32·Looking for the Lifeboat: Special Edition of Irish Literature”, and the exhibition of “The Screw Is Tightening”. The “Small Places” feature podcast recording takes place here. Readers and listeners nearby, let’s celebrate the Lantern Festival together!

This is an overview of Shandu’s publishing work in 2022. As a 14-year-old independent cultural brand, during the epidemic, we struggled to swim and landed, using publishing as a weapon to respond to the distortion of the outside world, and witnessed many cruel and absurd near or far away.
Quanzhou has always been a meeting place since ancient times, a “small place” outside the center, always embracing the richness and diversity of culture, religion, and folk customs. Therefore, at the beginning of another lunar year, Chizi Space has become a base for single reading. A brisk lifeboat, where we stretch our minds, pack our bags, and wait for the sound of the tide rejoining the world.

“The Screw is Tightening” in Quanzhou
If you can’t go to the big world, there are still “small places”.
“Small places” is a special program of the podcast “The Screw is Tightening”. The host Wu Qi will go to various places to find friends, follow local youths, discover local culture, and create more nearby encounters in the real life texture. After Ningbo, Changsha, and Xining, Wu Qi will go to Quanzhou to have a dialogue with Amei and Zeng Yasan, the two principals of Chizi Space.
Quanzhou is not only the birthplace of southern Hokkien culture, but also the place where sea and land, human beings and gods, folk customs and cities communicate. Here heterogeneous groups meet and live next to each other. There are several kinds of traditional delicacies sold at street corners, and several kinds of unnamed fruits in front of the stalls. Another kind of temple next to the temple makes Quanzhou a symbol of tolerance and vitality. conventional.
This time, “The Screw is Tightening” will enter the Chizi Space in Quanzhou. Under the leadership of local friends, in the local cultural life, we will look for alternative answers that “small places” provide to the world.
At the end of last year, Dandu and Chizi Space in Quanzhou jointly launched a “screw fish” T-shirt that yearns for freedom—whether you are a screw in society or a free-moving fish in the sea, this year we will all be slapped. Put on common experiences and feelings, give yourself to the survival instinct of “survive”, every inconspicuous screw can also be a fish full of determination.
