Hong Kong’s beloved independent bookshop, Have a Nice Stay, closed its doors Sunday following a raid by national security police last month. Dozens of devoted customers crowded into the shop for a final visit, expressing their support and mourning its closure. The bookstore, known for its curated selection and community focus, had become a symbol of Hong Kong’s shrinking space for independent voices. Long queues formed throughout the week as people sought to purchase books and show solidarity. The raid and subsequent closure are viewed by many as another sign of eroding freedoms under the National Security Law. Have a Nice Stay’s demise represents a loss for Hong Kong’s literary scene and a warning for other independent businesses.
