As the internet era has arrived, traditional bookstores that once dotted the streets are gradually fading away. The last remaining 'Ten Great Bookstores' in Kaohsiung, operating for 30 years, announced on a Facebook group that they will be closing on the 30th, marking the end of the bookstore era in Kaohsiung. The news has left countless local residents mourning the 'tears of the times'. The bookstore, located in the Sihcheng Night Market in Kaohsiung, has been a cherished part of many locals' childhood memories. Despite the nostalgia, the owner has decided to close the business due to declining consumer numbers and changing reading habits.
