Mr. Candy Store bearing social responsibilities
     The candy store owner, Mr. Yeh, had a concept of studying lifelong, not to mention his social responsibilities and sense of mission, which made him an unusual man. First engaged in coal business, his father once had an opportunity to open a gas station but then gave it up for the sake of safety, which emphasized by his grandma. Retiring form army, he opened so-called low-price centers, convenience stores, safe and non-outdated, what his mother remarked. In the light of the principle of little profit but quick turnover, he ran these two stores. Having planned proper routes, he started to deliver goods to Wugu, Bali, and Duchuantou, if there were phone orders. Although the turnover of each month could be more than a hundred thousand, he didn’t earn that much because of his kindness and principle. Since big malls’ coming out in 1990s, his stores began to transform into the current ones gradually, candies put at doorway, livelihood things as well as biscuits occupying half the room, and the other half used by his wife to sell clothes, which he could hardly agree, though, promised for the sake of her interest at last.
     He stayed in the store all the time, let alone others’ leave, because it’s restless yearly, which was regarded the only weakness. With more than 100 categories of candies in his store, he tasted every category and bought in wholesale personally, what’s more he would like to sell better products and candies with better tastes, the majority of which were imported. With his firm belief in quality, his store would never change, but manufactures and business agents kept changing because of their poor quality and bad management. Fearing of risks and bankruptcy, he never preferred buyout, which may create higher profits though. Fond of doing things little by little, he would change remained and unfavored candies with manufacturers. His goods would vary according to the season, more categories in winter which wouldn’t melt easily; increasing icy ones in hot summer, for example. Fond of watching commercial ads, he acquainted himself with present fashion and popularity, as well as the likes of teenagers, so as to adjust goods timely. For instance, pertinent things to Christmas would be on sale during Christmas time, so would Lantern Festival, which made us feel it good to have this store.

       Mr. Yeh found this job joyful, fearless and independent as a boss at least. He could take part in the social activities besides supporting family. Having been doing welfare for 30 years, he was on duty 4 hours each time and twice a month, before which he had a pre-work training for a week... Otherwise, he didn’t advice young men do what he did, because a young man sticking to a place for a long time would exhaust his aspiration, and they had to build their career for our county’s future.

     Having involved in public affairs, Mr. Yeh had much knowledge of the market trend that City Plan had been on for 20 years, which meant the market, about to be tore down in June, would become history sooner or later.        A small pedestrian recreation square would be built then, as a new show stage for students of all schools. They used to show on the road, which was awkward for both pedestrians and traffic. Pathetically, students would get wet in the rain, while parents were holding umbrella clapping hands nearby. None market could be prosperous all the time, as long as they updated, and new opportunities may come out when an alternative market came out. Mr. Yeh was glad to see.
