Ditan Second-hand Book Market was a well-known second-hand book market located near the west gate of Ditan Park in the center of Beijing.

This kind of situation often occurs in the creation of novels. The old book becomes the new book, and the new book becomes the old book. This kind of plot usually involved copyright issues and the promotion strategy of the new book. In the creation of novels, the plot of old books becoming new books could allow readers to better understand the background and plot development of the story. For example, when a new book is just published, the reader can find out the origin of the story by looking at the location of the old book or find out the plot of the new book by looking at the plot of the old book. On the other hand, old books could also be used as a marketing tool to make readers interested in new books. For example, the old book could be used as a prototype or reference for the new book so that readers could better understand the plot and theme of the new book. It was a common plot for novels to turn old books into new books. It could help readers better understand the background and plot development of the story, and it could also be used as a marketing method to make readers interested in new books.

In the old market in the countryside, shaving had a unique scene and tradition. In the past, the barbers often carried a " picker " on their backs and worked in the corners of the market. They did not need to attract business and had their own group of regular customers, mostly old people. The fee was relatively cheap, and a haircut might only cost two yuan. In terms of tools and facilities, the hairdresser carried tools with a pole. On one end were razors, combs, combs, and other hairdressing tools. On the other end was a large yellow copper basin with a fire stove for washing hair. The water was often soap, which looked unsanitary. In the old market, in addition to shaving their heads, the shavers also mastered a variety of skills, such as combing, weaving, shaving, shaving, pinching, holding, hammering, pressing, pulling, cutting, picking, dyeing, connecting, living, relaxing, repairing, etc. The skilled masters were good at taking ears, setting bones, and massaging. Moreover, the hairdresser had its own rules and jargon. One could not drink alcohol or eat stimulative food such as onions and garlic before shaving. When shaving a monk's head, one should shave his head from front to back, and when shaving a Taoist priest's head, one should shave his head from back to front. Moreover, when shaving a monk's head, one should say," Please go down the mountain and shave your hair." Shaving a bald head was called beating old foam, shaving long hair was called grass, and shaving beard was called waxing. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was very common to shave one's head in rural markets. At that time, people called haircutting or pushing hair, and older farmers generally liked to shave their heads. The old master chatted with people while shaving his head. He would even look away from the head that was being shaved, but it was rare for his scalp to be cut off. For children, they would usually use a hand-made hair clipper to push the small crew cut, but the clipper might clip their hair. In the past, in the countryside, the business of the hairdresser used to be very prosperous. For example, during the twelfth lunar month, because of the custom of " if you have money or not, shave your head for the New Year," the hairdresser would be busy from morning till night. However, with the rise of barbershops, the business of barbers became more and more difficult.

I can't provide any information about the market value of the old version of the book. Because The Return of the Condor Heroes was a very classic martial arts novel, its copyright had been held by many publishing houses and dealers, so its market value would change with time and market conditions. In addition, different versions, translation, and distribution companies would also affect its value. Therefore, I suggest that you consult your local bookstore or online bookstore about the price of books about the Condor Heroes to obtain more accurate information.
