It was a regular Friday in August when Wang An considered taking a stroll around her workplace in downtown Beijing. She chose a nearby recycling shop.

那是8月份的一個普通周五，在北京市中心上班的王安想在办公地点周围逛逛，于是她选了附近的一家循环商店。

After spending half an hour in the second-hand books and clothes shop， Wang bought a hardcover original version of Harry Potter Film Wizardry.

在这家售卖二手书和二手服装的商店逛了半个小时后，王安买了一本精装原版《哈利·波特电影魔法书》。

“It was the first time I visited here. Im quite interested in Harry Potter recently and this book is not found in other places， so I bought one when I happened to see it，” she said.

她说：“我第一次来这家店，最近对《哈利·波特》很感兴趣，这本书在其他地方买不到，所以我碰巧看到就买了一本。”

Renovated from an old factory in the Sanlitun area， the store was opened by an online used books trading platform called deja vu early this year. The 1，000-square-meter place displays more than 10，000 second-hand books and about 1，300 pieces of used clothes the company recycled.

2022年初，一个名为“多抓鱼”的二手书网上交易平台开了这家循环商店，店面由三里屯的一间旧厂房改建而成，占地面积1000平方米，陈列着该公司回收的1万多本二手书和大约1300件二手服装。

Wang is not only a “buyer” but also a “seller” at deja vu and other online platforms of second-hand goods. Through Idle Fish， an online flea market， she has earned about 20，000 yuan （$2，897） from reselling a treadmill， a baby crib and other stuff.

在多抓鱼和其他二手商品网上交易平台上，王安不仅是一名“买家”，还是一名“卖家”。通过在线跳蚤市场“闲鱼”，她转卖了一台跑步机、一张婴儿床和其他物品，赚了大约2万元人民币（约合2897美元）。

“For me， trading second-hand products is a good option to deal with stuff that I no longer need，” she said.

王安说，“在我看来，交易二手商品是处理我用不着的物品的好办法。”

Chinas second-hand market has been thriving in recent years with the sales of used goods exceeding 1 trillion yuan in 2020. A report released last year by consulting company Frost & Sullivan and the Institute of Energy， Envir-onment and Economy at Tsinghua University expected sales to reach nearly 3 trillion yuan in 2025.

近年来，中国的二手市场蓬勃发展，2020年二手商品销售额超过了1万亿元人民币。咨询公司弗若斯特沙利文和清华大学能源环境经济研究所在2021年发布的一份报告预计，2025年闲置物品销售规模将达到近3万亿元。

Adam Minter， author of Junkyard Planet： Travels in the Billion-Dollar Trash Trade and Secondhand： Travels in the New Global Garage Sale， said one reason behind Chinas booming second-hand business is because many Chinese households had acquired far more stuff than they needed after 30 years of hyper-charged consumption.

《废物星球：从中国到世界的天价垃圾之旅》和《二手世界：全球旧货市场调查手记》的作者亚当·明特说，中国二手生意蓬勃发展的一个原因是，经过30年高度活跃的消费，许多中国家庭购买的东西远远超过了自身的需求。

Chinas younger consumers havent inherited their parents disdain for second-hand goods， he added in an opinion article published on the website of Bloomberg.

亞当·明特在彭博社网站发表的一篇评论文章中补充说，中国的年轻消费者没有继承父辈对二手商品的鄙视。……
