Chinese popular magazine Reader is exhibiting its branded cultural creative products at the Guan Shanyue Art Museum. Wallets, phone shells, watches, flash disks, chopsticks and silk scarves with historical or modern patterns are unveiled at the exhibition. Visitors can also purchase some items there. The magazine, which collaborates with domestic designers and manufacturers to produce and sell the products online, aims to promote an artistic lifestyle and open up more businesses to survive in the decline of the printing media. As an exhibitor of the 13th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair, the magazine plans to open 500 brick-and-mortar retail stores nationwide within a year. Reader, or Duzhe, was first published in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, in March 1981. The bimonthly magazine includes original articles, condensed articles reprinted from other publications, book excerpts, and collections of jokes, illustrations, anecdotes and quotations. It is among the top five magazines in China in the past decades for its general-interest style.
