29-6-2023 (BEIJING) A video circulating online shows a young couple engaging in sexual activity at a branch of the “Xinhua Bookstore”. The location features open reading spaces where many people go to study. However, a member of the public noticed that in one of the independent sofa reading areas, a young woman was studying diligently while her boyfriend sat behind her, “charging her up” in a rather inappropriate manner. The video has sparked a heated discussion among netizens, with some praising the couple’s boldness while others condemn their behaviour as inappropriate and a violation of a sacred learning environment.
The Xinhua Bookstore is a popular bookstore chain in China, known for its spacious and well-lit interiors and comfortable reading spaces. It is a common spot for students and young professionals to study or relax. However, this incident has raised concerns about the lack of privacy and security in public spaces, as well as the need for appropriate behaviour in shared environments.
The video has since been widely shared on social media, with many expressing their shock and disgust at the couple’s behaviour. Some have called for stricter regulations on public behaviour and the need for more security measures in commercial spaces. Others have criticised the couple for their lack of respect for others and the environment.
