A similar scene was also found in Zunyi, Southwest China's Guizhou province, an "unusual one" according to the staff at a local revolution-themed Xinhua Bookstore branch.
More than 900 km to the west of Jinggangshan, Zunyi hosted a CPC meeting in 1935, which is widely considered a watershed event in the history of the CPC.
Sales soared 30 percent in the first quarter compared to the same period of 2019, according to Zhan Huijing, head of the Zunyi bookstore.
"Many readers made a point of visiting here, asking when a much-expected title on CPC history is available," said Zhan.
