Last Sunday’s Pop-Up Beijing flea market saw attendees stock up on stocking stuffers and get into a charitable mood. Funds were raised for this year’s Maovember campaign by selling samples of beard oil, donated by Green Room, and shots of byejoe baijiu for rmb20 each. In the end, rmb1,050 was raised, with a further rmb200 in pin sales.

Maovember focuses on quirky events for good causes. Our 2022 partner is Library Project, which has furnished thousands of reading rooms in rural schools. Learn more about Maovember here. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
