Shower(洗澡) (2) This is a liberal translation of an essay written in Japanese. Would you correct it? Thank you in advance. An old public bathhouse for men is located in a traditional downtown district of China. The bath is run by an old man, Rye, and his son, and is due to be demolished by a redevelopment program. A large number of people, many of whom are retired old Beijingers, gather there everyday bringing their joy and sorrow. The bath is almost same as a Japanese one but it provides a variety of peripheral services such as haircut, shaving, massage, scrubbing(a service provided by a professional scrubber who scrubs down the bathers' body), bonesetting, moxibustion, etc.. In other words, the main business of the house is not confined to taking bath. In the oasis, the customers are enjoying half of their daily lives, taking part in the games such as Chinese chess or cricket fighting, flapping their's chops, listening to music, and reading books. Therefore, it becomes the most important rest area of the town.
