Fabric store in Wangfujing Street: 1990. This fabric store in busy Wangfujing Street in Beijing is a hive of activity in 1990. (Note cashier in top left corner who receives payment by a string pulley system.) The store, which has since been demolished and replaced by a modern shopping centre, contrasts markedly with retail outlets such as that shown in Image 1.2. The pace of change and diversity in industry structures calls for a detailed, micro-level form of analysis.
