sense of Community
I live in a residential area in the suburbs of Fuzhou. It's a nice place with about ten
high-rises where hundreds of people live together. The apartment buildings surround a park and a
swimming pool. We are all neighbors, and everyone belongs to the same local community. All day
long, you can see mothers cradling their newborns, or elderly people chatting or exercising.
In the middle of the residential community there is a small convenience store where everyone
goes to buy daily necessities such as sugar, flour, oil or eggs. It's a tiny store run by a family. The
mother usually takes care of the store, but her husband and her father also take turns behind the
cash register. They also live in the same residence, so everyone knows them very well and,
because they are very friendly and welcoming, their business is doing pretty well.
There are two main aisles in the shop
.
On one side they sell snacks such as peanuts, dry fruit,
chips and noodles
.
On the other side, they sell household supplies like cleaning supplies, towels,
soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, mosquito repellent and other day-to-day necessities.
Next to the counter, there are big containers of rice and flour. You can help yourself to a bag or, if
you want, the shop owner will give you a hand. I often go there to buy a drink when I come back
from school. They have 2 large refrigerators with a great variety of sodas and fruit juices
.
Everyone appreciates having the store inside our community. Otherwise, we would have to
walk all the way to the bigger supermarket, and it would take a lot more time. In addition, the
convenience store stays open until 11 or 12 at night every day, and the prices are very reasonable.
The shop definitely makes our lives easier, and strengthens the sense of community among
residents.
