It is hard to imagine such a scene of prosperity for someone born post-2000 like me, and I wish I had a time machine so that I could see it with my own eyes. Established in 1953, San Min Book Company began life publishing mainly law books, but its current direction is very similar to POPULAR, publishing textbooks, reference books, and so on, and having an online store as well.
