香港多家独立书店因涉及人员遭警方国安处拘捕，近期相继面临经营困境。1 「獵人書店」店长于6月被国安处拘捕后，房东因受恐吓决定不续租，租约将于2月27日到期。1 「留下書舍」已于8月30日结业，「田園書屋」于7月29日结业。1
书店关闭往往并非通过正式命令，而是经由房东、消防、工商等行政和商业压力的层层施加。1 曾在上海经历相似遭遇的季风书园负责人于淼，将这一现象与2018年1月上海季风书园被迫关闭的经历联系起来。1 于淼以过来人身份建议保存书店存在的记忆痕迹，强调「空间可能消失，但记忆不能跟著消失」。1 她分享了季风书园在华府重新开张的经验——该分店于2024年9月开幕，强调独立书店在自由阅读和跨文化交流中的公共价值。1
Several independent bookstores in Hong Kong have ceased operations in recent months following the detention of staff members by police national security units.1 The closures include Hunter Bookstore, whose manager was detained by the National Security Department in June, prompting the landlord to decline lease renewal due to intimidation, with the lease expiring on February 27.1 Leave Behind Books shut down on August 30, while Pastoral Bookstore closed on July 29.1
Yu Miao, the former operator of Seasonal Winds Bookstore in Shanghai—which was forced to close in January 2018—drew parallels between the Hong Kong situation and his own experience.1 He emphasized that while physical spaces may disappear, the memory of their existence must be preserved, suggesting documentation of the bookstores' legacies as a form of resistance.1 Yu noted that closures typically do not occur through formal written orders but rather through indirect administrative and commercial pressure exerted via landlords, fire departments, and business regulators.1 Having reopened Seasonal Winds Bookstore in Washington, D.C., in September 2024, Yu highlighted the public significance of free access to reading materials and cross-cultural exchange.1
