As I walked along the corridor, I couldn’t help but stop to admire the walls adorned with pictures and text. The design of the walls created two wings of three matching panels with the outermost part being two display windows. On display was a list of the top pens as well as photos from the store owner’s travels in search of vintage pens. The middle section was used for a set of antique bamboo couplets, inscribed with “Happiness comes from making the effort, Take  advantage of bing taken advantage. The character for “Effort” had an extra dot while “Usually” had a missing dot that turns up over “advantage”. This symbolized “Extra effort for more happiness” and “Be willing to give and so that to take”. The inner section’s fire doors are pasted with reports from the media, giving the visitor a better idea of P&P’s features. On the other side of the corridor three screens quite cleverly partitioned yet connected the separate product display areas. Set into the screens were visitors’ calligraphy cards and if you look closely you will find quite a few famous people among their ranks. There were hidden pearls of wisdom in all of the comments left on the card, some not only expressing support for the store but also dispensing sage advice on life. From this, we can see that the storeowner not only wanted his guests to leave a signature but also invited them to share their wisdom.
