The first deaf-themed cafe in China may change ownership due to operational problems.
Give you time for a cup of coffee to discover the silent world. Near the entrance of the Yangtze River Tunnel on Dazhi Road in Wuhan, Wen Feng, a post-90s deaf boy, runs a special cafe, Deaf Coffee (Deaf Coffee). Next week, the first deaf-themed cafe in Wuhan will be one year old.
Wen Feng, 24, lost his ability to hear and hear because of a medical accident a few months after he was born. After graduating from the school for the deaf, Wen Feng worked as a mobile phone patch on Jianghan Road, and his business was the hottest in the whole street. Wen Feng and his friends like to go to cafes, but ordering has once become a problem, so they hope to open their own deaf-themed cafe and order in sign language. In order to learn to make coffee, Wen Feng worked for free in a coffee shop on Taipei Road for two months, starting with sweeping the floor and washing cups. In August last year, with the help of a deaf friend, Wen Feng and two friends co-founded Deaf Coffee, and Wen Feng worked as a barista.
When I walked into the cafe, there were paper-cuts and paintings with basic sign language gestures on the wall, sign language books on the shelves, and a large blackboard for sign language teaching. Two shop assistants are also deaf. They will prepare paper and pens to communicate with guests. It once became the first choice for deaf friends to get together, and even attracted deaf friends from other places to come. In November last year, Amo, a hearing impaired student, went to Wuhan from Nanjing "just because he felt confident and warm" after he saw the information about the cafe on the Internet.
Wen Feng's optimism can always infect all kinds of customers, and this quiet cafe can comfort people. Netizen "Lou Shangda" wrote on Weibo: "We communicate by writing without the slightest embarrassment." When asked about his wish, he (Wen Feng) said that he would take his mother on a trip when he got rich. In the end, he told me to laugh. " And the girl left the message to her boyfriend in the store to Wenfeng for safekeeping, saying that if her boyfriend came to leave a message a year later, she would marry him.
"the deaf can do anything but cannot hear." Wen Feng finally opened a shop to let the society know more about the deaf culture and be willing to accept and integrate into the deaf group, so he opened a free sign language class in the store every Sunday afternoon, hoping that more healthy people could join in.
Within a year, the two partners who started the business together left one after another, and only Wen Feng persisted. But the monthly rent of the coffee shop is more than 7000 yuan, which is too much for Wen Feng. He is planning to transfer the current store and find a smaller place to reopen the shop. Although his mother has always opposed it, Wen Feng said he would stick to it. "in a year's time, I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience, got to know a lot of people, and then opened a small shop, and I certainly have nothing to lose."
