热考素材 时事热点 Shanghai's last $\underline{\mathrm{remaining}}$ newsstand（报亭） has seen its best business ever after its move on New Year's Day. The move received wide media attention and $\textit{attracted}$ many new and regular customers. It is now on Zhapu Road, Hongkou District.

The 67-year-old owner, Jiang Jun, has been selling newspapers for 38 years. For tens of years, he has formed a habit of getting up at 4:30 every morning to fetch（去取） newspapers and working over 12 hours a day without rest.

In 2019, thousands of newsstands closed down under the influence of new media. Though he had reached retirement age, Jiang chose to keep running the stand for his readers. He had worked there for 32 years and loved his job $\textit{deeply}$.
Last year, Jiang planned to close the stand. But his closure notice drew public attention. A cinema owner offered free space, and he finally moved to a new, larger shop near the old one. The new shop is about 30 square metres and provides $\textit{more than}$ 1,000 kinds of newspapers and magazines.
Now daily visitor numbers have almost doubled, especially among young people and tourists. Many people visit the stand after watching news reports about it. A father said such a love for paper reading is really good for the boy's growth.
Jiang says he keeps the newsstand not just for his own purpose, but for the readers who still need and love paper reading. The old newsstand carries warm memories and the $\textit{value}$ of traditional reading habits. It has become a special cultural $\textit{symbol}$ in modern Shanghai.
