Good afternoon my dear friends it's very nice to you againi amyourgood friendsClaire.
亲爱的老师同学们大家好很高兴在每周日下午16点30分和大家相约英语沙龙，我是你们的好朋友，阎卓宇。
听众朋友们，下午好，不知道大家有没有关注到：这几年，「内卷」和「倦怠」成为城市生活的普遍情绪，越来越多人无法接受在大城市里被挤压的生存空间，选择离开北上广，去到三四线城市或者回到家乡生活。
今天的主人公高贵兵，就是其中一位。2010年，高贵兵随大流从河北邯郸的农村来到北京工作，从那时起，他就强烈地感受到一种介于城市和乡土之间的漂浮感与撕裂感。随着他北漂的时间越长，这种漂浮感没有消失，反而愈演愈烈。
因此，2020 年，33 岁的高贵兵选择辞去北京的稳定工作，结束十年北漂生活，回到家乡邯郸开一家独立书店。这是一个听上去有点冒险的决定，回邯郸开书店，真的能解决他的身份焦虑吗？他的身份焦虑，又到底来自于哪里呢？
Gao Guibing, born in 1987, now runs an independent bookstore in Handan, Hebei province, called the Human Food Bookstore. He grew up living in a rural village in Handan City, where no one could read at home. His first literary idol was Haizi, when he read a poem in his high school textbook, "Facing the Sea, Spring flowers bloom."
高贵兵，1987年生人，现在在河北邯郸开一家独立书店，名字叫人间食粮书店。他从小生活在邯郸市底下一个县的农村，家里边没有人阅读。他的第一个文学偶像是海子，那时候他在高中课本上读到海子的一首诗，《面朝大海，春暖花开》。
Haizi's stories of genius often inspired him, fascinated him, and he would imagine that he was such a genius. In some way, Haizi hit him, or brought him into the world of reading.
海子的那种天才故事常常感召他，让他很着迷，他会幻想自己也是那样的天才。某种程度上是海子击中了他，或者说把他带入到了阅读的世界。
He was also writing at that time, and he felt good that he could be a writer or editor, and he had a vague goal to find a job related to writing. But when he arrived in Beijing, all of his fantasies were destroyed.
他那时候还写诗，自他感觉挺良好，觉得自己可以成为一个写作者或编辑，也有了一个很模糊的目标，想要找跟文字相关的工作。但到了北京之后，他的那些幻想全部被打掉了。
When he first arrived in Beijing, he and a college classmate rented a room on the top floor of a self-built house. The two of them huddled in that room, probably with a bed and a table, because of the wooden partition them, they could basically hear the sound next door.
那时候刚到北京，他和一个大学同学在一个城中村里，花三五百块钱，租了一间自建房顶层的房间。他们两个人挤在那个房间里，大概就放了一张床和一个桌子，因为房间之间是木隔断，基本上能听到隔壁的声音。
He took the printed resume and went to the talent every day. But after about three months, I couldn't find a job. Throughout his way to college, his life experience was a rural life experience, but the rural experience was ineffective when he entered the city. After reading Fei Xiaotong's "Rural China", he clearly realized this failure.
他拿着打印好的简历，每天去人才市场投简历。但是过了大概三个月，一直找不到工作。一直到上大学，他的生活经验都是乡村的生活经验，但那些乡村经验进入到城市之后是完全失效的。看了费孝通的《乡土中国》之后，他清楚地认知到了这种失效。
When he came to Beijing from the countryside, he uprooted himself from his local experience and threw it directly into the strange life experience of the city. There was no transition and no blood relationship to help him. He could only rely to find a way of his own.
他从农村来到北京，是把自己从乡土经验里连根拔起，直接扔到城市这种陌生的生活经验当中，这中间没有过渡，也没有血缘关系帮他，他只能靠自己摸索一条属于自己的路。
一首好听的音乐过后欢迎回来，这里依旧是汉江师范学院广播台英语沙龙栏目。高宾贵的生活还在继续，那么他到底是怎么把书店开起来的呢？让我们继续下面的节目。
This torn, life without the fulcrum, manifested as a kind of numbness and burnout. More and more, he felt that some jobs are too mechanical and boring, and he lacks social interaction in his life, and he no longer goes out to visit bookstores and participate in activities on weekends.
这种撕裂的、没有支点的生活，表现为一种麻木和倦怠。高贵兵越来越觉得某些工作过于机械和乏味，生活中也缺少社交，周末也不再出门逛书店、参加活动。
Every day after work is to stay at home and do nothing. This made him want to leave Beijing, to find a sense of belonging. After much。
每天下班就是在家里宅着，什么也不干。这让他起心动念离开北京，去别的地方、通过别的方式寻找归属感。思来想去，高贵兵最终选择回到自己的家乡邯郸开一家独立书店。
After all, his job in recent years has been to deal with books, he has no expertise, seems to only do things related to books. And, in Beijing, bookstores and reading gave him spiritual support.
毕竟，他近几年的工作一直是和书打交道，自己别无所长，好像只会做和书相关的事情了。并且，在北京最困顿的那几年里，是书店和阅读给了他精神上的支持。
In September 2020, the Human Food Bookstore opened. On the first day of opening, Gao placed a round table in front of the door, with a copy of "Existence and nothingness", and a bowl of rice, suggesting that the bookstore would face a long-term dilemma: existence and nothingness, eating and reading.
2020 年 9月，人间食粮书店开业了。 开业第一天，高贵兵在门前放了一张圆桌，桌上摆着一本《存在与虚无》，旁边还有一碗大米，暗示这家书店将要长久面临的两难困境：存在与虚无，吃饭与阅读。
The gap imagination and reality makes the noble soldier feel frustrated. But he didn't have time to indulge in frustration. He had to find a way to transform itself and keep the bookstore alive. He actually used money to buy cheap used books and sell them at a slightly higher discount. In the general low price of e-commerce, this is indeed a good survival strategy, and has achieved some results, but soon, it also exposed its problems.
想象与现实的落差，让高贵兵感到挫败。但他没时间沉浸在挫败里，他必须想办法转型，让书店活下去。他实打实地用钱来收购低价二手书，再以比收购价稍高的折扣卖出去。在电商的普遍低价里，这确实是一个不错的生存策略，也取得了一定成效，但很快，也暴露出了它的问题。

The bookstore has its own unique taste, piracy does not accept, success, soul chicken soup does not accept, computer and other industry types of books do not accept, teaching materials do not accept, and in the end also have to see his own judgment. So the source of second-hand books is very problematic, and it is difficult to maintain the long-term operation of the bookstore.
书店的选书是有自己独特品位的，盗版不收，成功学、心灵鸡汤不收，计算机等等行业类的书不收，教材教辅也不收，而且到最后还得看他自己的判断。所以二手书的来源很成问题，很难维持书店长期的经营。
Later, he connected with independent bookstores in other cities and negotiated with publishers to buy a new inventory of books at a low price, and sell them at the same or even lower discount as e-commerce companies. In this way, the supply of goods is stable, the problem of low prices has been solved, and human food began to transform to special humanities and social science bookstores.
后来，他又和其他城市的独立书店建立联系，共同去找出版社协商，以低价买入出版社积压的全新库存书，再以和电商同等，甚至更低的折扣销售这些书。这样一来，货源稳定了，低价的问题也得到解决，人间食粮开始向特价人文社科书店转型。
In addition, six months after the opening, he tried to a wechat group, and later opened an online bookstore, and slowly the online revenue became.
再加上开业半年之后，他就试着建立微信群，后来又开了线上书店，慢慢地线上的营收也好了起来。
He will not the local experience drive him to do now, and he no longer thinks that he must rely on family love and friendship because of the local experience as in the past. He is now more convinced that he can find in reading, writing and books.
他现在不会完全让乡土经验驱使他去做某件事情，他也不再像过去那样因为乡土经验而认为他必须依赖亲情和友情。他现在更加坚信他可以在阅读、写作和书籍当中找到永恒的东西。
Nor would he designate a sense of belonging in a city, he would rather be in his bookstore. He thinks that the bookstore is his and the bookstore is his sense of belonging.
他也不会再以一个城市划定他是否有归属感，他宁愿把归属感寄托在他的书店上。他觉得书店就是他的家乡，书店就是他的归属感。
