社區二手店結業
Guided by the principles of cherishing goods and protecting the environment, redistributing resources, and creating meaningful cooperative work, the community second-hand shop has served the Sham Shui Po community for 23 years and is now closing down as it reaches retirement. As a non-profit community economic project, it was able to continue operating for so long without regular funding only because of generous support from people across society. The hard work of the team was also crucial, including members who took on voluntary responsibilities because they shared its principles and a group of employed full-time staff. They worked together for many years, and many have now reached retirement age. In addition, the economic impact following the pandemic has made operations increasingly difficult in recent years, leaving the shop no choice but to decide to close. The shop again thanked local residents and friends from all sectors for their years of support, and wished everyone abundant lives in the future after cherishing resources and accumulating blessings in the past.
社區二手店本著「惜物環保、資源再分配及創造有意義的合作勞動」的理念，服務深水埗社區23年，終於到了退休結業的時候！
作為一個非牟利社區經濟項目，在長期沒有資助下能持續經營至今，全靠得到社會各界的慷慨支持。工作團隊的辛勤付出，更是關鍵。當中包括因理念認同而作出義務承擔的成員，一班受僱的專職人員，大家共同奮鬥多年，不少已屆退休之齡。加上面對疫情後的經濟打擊，近年來的經營愈趨困難，我們不得不作出結束的決定！
在此再一次感謝支持我們多年的社區街坊和各方好友，祝大家過去惜物積福，未來生活豐足！

黃店友利冰室疑涉欠租收舖 鄰店王宗堯 Happy Belly 受牽連 7.9 結業 食客：約定再見就會再見
The “yellow shop” Yau Lei Bistro & Biggap was reported to have unpaid wages and rent. Its staff announced online last Saturday (June 29) that its two branches in Prince Edward and Lai Chi Kok had suspended business because supplies had been exhausted. It was also issued a fire-safety summons after items allegedly blocked an escape route, and did not send a representative to appear in court. Happy Belly, a snack shop run by actor Wang Chung-yin and his wife Julia, has been subletting the premises of Yau Lei’s original Prince Edward branch. In a post yesterday (July 4), it said that it had not been involved in any debt problems since opening at the end of last year, but would suspend business next Tuesday (July 9) to facilitate the landlord’s recovery of Yau Lei’s rent arrears and repossession of the premises, until further notice. It thanked Yau Lei, saying: “Without Yau Lei Bistro & Biggap, there would be no Happy Belly.” Many diners expressed regret and wished the Happy Belly team a good rest while awaiting a new location and a comeback: “If we agree to meet again, we will.”

「在港再難出版理想書」 進一步多媒體結業
Step Forward Multimedia, a publishing house established in June 1997, announced that it had closed on the 8th of this month “because it has become harder to publish the books we aspire to in Hong Kong”. Ding Nam-kiu, the publisher’s final president, announced the closure on its social media platform, saying that the publisher had left behind more than 160 books. Its final book was Chan Yau (1956) Chong’s *Love and Peace: An Unfinished Journey of Resistance*, published in 2020 by Benny Tai, a former associate professor at the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law.
In the announcement, Ding said that Step Forward was founded under the management of Kong King-chu and its inaugural president, Chan Yau (1956) Chong, and that Ding took over as president after its reorganisation in 2016. Step Forward’s first book was Kong King-chu’s *From Milan to Diamond Hill*, published in 1997, which told the story of preacher Kam Ho-mong, known as “Kam Jai”, and his assistance to disadvantaged communities in Hong Kong. Ding thanked colleagues for their cooperation and readers for their support, saying that the publisher had left behind more than 160 books in writing: “Even if Step Forward no longer exists, these words will remain in the memory of our city—as long as some among us have not forgotten.” Other books it published included Lui Tai-lok’s *Four Generations of Hong Kong People* and Hui Wai-hang’s *Ten Questions on June Fourth*.
1997年6月成立的出版社「進一步多媒體」宣布，「由於在香港再難出版我們理想中的書」，已於本月8日結業。最後一代社長丁南僑在出版社的社交平台發文宣布結業消息，提到出版社留下了160多本書，最後一本是2020年港大法律學院前副教授戴耀廷的《愛與和平：未完的抗爭之旅》。
丁南僑在公告表示，「進一步」誕生時由江瓊珠和初代社長莊陳有主理，2016年改組後由丁接任社長。「進一步」出版的首本書籍為江瓊珠的《從米蘭到鑽石山》，於1997年出版，講述傳道人「甘仔」甘浩望在港協助弱勢社群的故事。丁感謝工作伙伴協力和讀者支持，留下了160多本書的文字，「這些文字，就算是進一步不復存在，也會留存在我城的記憶之中——只要我們當中有人沒有遺忘」。其他曾出版的書籍包括呂大樂的《四代香港人》、許偉恒的《六四十問》等。

旺角開益書店告別 店長：流淚道別不適合我們
Hoi Yik Bookshop, an upstairs bookshop that had operated in Mong Kok for nearly 20 years, opened its physical shop for the last time yesterday (April 8). Some books were sold at half price in a clearance sale, and many customers visited to support the shop on its final day. The manager posted a farewell message yesterday, quoting Himmel, a character in the manga *Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End*, as saying to readers and authors he had met: “As long as we continue our journey, we’ll see each other again, right? Tearful farewells don’t suit us, because it would be awkward when we meet again.”

西貢「西多」結業 曾與逾百本地品牌合作 前區議員陳嘉琳：好玩也對得住自己
The store Sai Kung Store, opened by former Sai Kung district councillor Chan Ka-lam (Debby), is set to close and vacate its premises by the end of this month, with Monday (April 1) being its final day of sales. The day after June 4 last year, Sai Kung Store displayed a candle-hanging picture outside its premises and was accused of possibly committing the offence of “seditious intention”; it was removed by police. The distribution of candles also led to repeated “inspections” by various government departments. Debby said, however, that the closure was unrelated to political suppression, but was purely due to “poverty”: the business could not withstand the downturn following the reopening and the wave of emigration, incurring losses of about 500,000 over two years. With her savings exhausted and her optimism gone, she decided to close.
由前西貢區議員陳嘉琳（Debby）開辦的士多「西多」即將結業，本月底交吉，周一（4月1日）為最後賣物日。「西多」去年六四翌日在門外懸掛蠟燭掛畫，被指涉嫌干犯「煽動意圖」罪遭警方移除，亦曾因派發蠟燭引來各政府部門連番「巡查」，但Debby 指結業與政治打壓無關，純粹出於一個「窮」字，不敵開關及移民潮下的生意下滑，兩年間虧損約50萬，積蓄用盡，樂觀不再，便決定結業。

山道文化宣布結業 創辦人將移居海外
Local publisher Hillway Culture announced that it will close at the end of this year, and one of its founders, Sam, will move overseas next year. Hillway Culture previously published books including *Teacher with an Injured Eye* Yeung Tze-chun’s *Teacher Against the Powers That Be* and former Legislative Council member Sha Kachim’s *Flowers Blooming on Stone Walls: Prison Memoirs and Other Writings (Revised Edition)*. In 2022, Hillway Culture sought to participate in the Hong Kong Book Fair but was disqualified by the Trade Development Council. The “Hong Kong People’s Book Fair”, which was subsequently organised at another venue, also had its lease terminated by the venue owner one day before its opening and ultimately had to be held as an “online book fair”.
本地出版社山道文化宣布將於今年尾結業，創辦人之一Sam明年會移居海外。山道文化過去曾出版反修例運動中「爆眼教師」楊子俊的《逆權教師》、前立法會議員邵家臻《石牆生花─坐監記及其他（增訂版）》等書藉。2022年，山道文化欲參加香港書展但被貿發局DQ，之後另覓場地舉辦的「香港人書展」亦於開幕前一日遭場主中止租約，終要改為「網上書展」。
