犹记得三十年前,到外地出差的人总是为家人、朋友、同事带回大包小包的礼物。那时大家都认为北京的商品品种丰富齐全,而且时尚。因此北京的商品被很多外地人所钟爱。的确,在计划经济时代,北京这个城市不仅是政治文化的中心,也是经济商业的中心。当时的商业虽没有像现在这样繁荣,但与其他很多城市相比,北京已然被视作购物天堂。改革开放三十多年以来,中国的经济发生了翻天覆地的变化,物质得到了极大丰富。全国各地的省会城市乃至地市级城市,虽赶不上北京,也处处可见购物中心、商业街等购物场所,世界各地的奢侈品也早已揭开神秘面纱。北京虽然仍是购物的上佳城市,北京商品却也不像数年前那样如此受到追捧。重要原因之一就是网络购物的兴起。 I still remember that thirty years ago, people who went on business trips abroad always brought gifts for their families, friends and colleagues. At that time, everyone thought that Beijing had a wide range of goods and fashion. Therefore, Beijing’s commodities are loved by many foreigners. Indeed, in the era of planned economy, Beijing is not only the center of political culture but also the center of economic commerce. Although business was not as prosperous as it is today, compared with many other cities, Beijing has already been regarded as a shopping paradise. Since the reform and opening up more than 30 years ago, China’s economy has undergone earth-shaking changes, and materials have been greatly enriched. Although provincial cities and even prefecture-level cities across the country are not able to catch up to Beijing, shopping malls and shopping malls are everywhere. Luxury goods all over the world have long been unveiled. Although Beijing is still the best city for shopping, Beijing’s commodities are not so sought after as they were a few years ago. One of the important reasons is the rise of online shopping.
