<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Feb 28, 2008: On Feb. 23rd and 24th, the first weekend <strong>of</strong><br />

the new term, Students' Union held a used book market, which presented students a<br />

platform to exchange experiences and second-hand books.<br />

In spite <strong>of</strong> the chilly spring breeze, many students set up stalls to exhibit their<br />

carefully and colorfully annotated books, which attracted swarms <strong>of</strong> buyers to the<br />

stalls. Everyone was looking, asking, talking, laughing, and negotiating... Fresh ones<br />

got books and experiences, senior fellows got bills and friends.<br />

The rules <strong>of</strong> the market were strict. Only those who hold their own <strong>PKU</strong> Student IDs<br />

had the privilege to set a stall or to buy things from others. These rules guaranteed<br />

that all students could enjoy their bargaining process in a safe campus business<br />

environment.<br />

<strong>PKU</strong> students said they have benefited a lot from the market. Some gained fortunes,<br />

others saved budgets. But the best thing is that through the recycling <strong>of</strong> those used<br />

books, precious nature resources were saved. Besides, friendship was promoted<br />

between all participants <strong>of</strong> the market.<br />
