People's Recreation Community (Chinese: 人民公社), originally known as People's Bookstore, was a bookstore in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay district.[1][2] It was known as one of the last bookshops in Hong Kong selling titles banned by the Chinese Communist Party, and its closure in 2018 marked a change in the city’s historic independent publishing scene.[3]
