Visually impaired Reverend Milk Tea rushed out of the social enterprise hoping that the cultural coffee shop would expand to other districts.

The visually impaired Reverend Liang Lian competed for the throne of "International King of Golden Tea" in Hong Kong with seven representatives from all over the world after winning the "International King of Golden Tea Competition 2017" in Toronto. Although Pastor Leung only won the Merit Award in the end, he said it was an honour to participate in this international open competition as a blind person for the first time.

Leung said that through the experience of blind people making milk tea, people with disabilities can be encouraged to accept themselves and overcome difficulties. As a matter of fact, the Social Corporate Culture Cafe (Cultural Cafe), which he manages and operates in Canada, is to implement and implement his long-held belief: "equip the visually impaired to set out again and accompany them to the goal of success".

Liang Lian said that the Cultural Cafe in 105Gibson Centre in Wanjin City is entering its fourth year. In recent years, it has been able to be self-financing and successful, thanks to the concerted efforts of employees with normal eyesight and blindness to work together, as well as volunteers who selflessly contribute their time and energy.

The dominant idea and motivation of the cultural coffee shop comes from the Le Ming visually impaired Troupe founded by him. Apart from sharing the Gospel of Christ, the mission of the Le Ming visually impaired Group is to help the visually impaired overcome the challenges and shocks of life, so that the visually impaired can regain the value of their lives.

He recalls that the operating concept of the cultural coffee shop may have moved some people who are willing to do so. An organization once invited him to operate a coffee shop outside Toronto. At that time, he politely refused because he was still not well prepared. I am afraid that he would get half the result with twice the effort and fail to achieve his goal.

However, now that they have accumulated enough experience and have better manpower and psychological preparation, they welcome all parties to invite cooperation. I hope that cultural cafes like Gibson Centre can be extended to Missouri or other areas to give the visually impaired people the opportunity to work, contribute to society and make a fresh start in their lives.

Liang Neng went to Hong Kong as a blind person to compete for the "International King of Golden Tea". He said that he would like to thank the Canadian judges and organizers for their fair and objective evaluation and trust in him. Moreover, during the competition in Hong Kong, because he was blind, he could not make milk tea in the traditional way of "hitting tea". The meeting asked him to "stir the tea" with a wooden ladle instead. He has told the media in Hong Kong that the taste of milk tea is secondary and pays more attention to the sense of success that milk tea can bring to the blind. He reiterated to this newspaper in Canada that visually impaired people can regain hope that employees and volunteers with normal eyesight will be satisfied and happy at work, which is definitely better than champion milk tea.
