A good place to relax and write in a cafe

This is an era in which the use of wifi (wireless network communication) has become a general trend, but the Beijing municipal government requires public places such as cafes, hotels and bookstores to be monitored by unexplained and ridiculously expensive security software, forcing coffee shop owners to cancel wifi services, and customers have expressed loss of confidence in the future of life in cafes. I decided to be optimistic and think about the benefits of not having w ifi.

In fact, I have always been a little confused about going to the cafe to write. I have tried it myself. I can read in the cafe, but I can't write at all. Not long ago, I made an appointment with a friend in a cafe. Within an hour, he told me about his rough and tortuous journey as a middle-aged man and finished an entertainment column. There are so many such people in Didu that you simply can't admire them.

It may be true that entertainment columns need the Internet to access information all the time, but for serious writers, I can't see why I have to use w ifi in a cafe to write. When he was young, Hemingway went to the cafe to write because his family had no study or food. Natalie Salot (the patriarch of the French new novel school) went to the cafe to write because she liked that other customers there spoke Arabic that she did not understand. That can be used as a background sound; Rowling's sister is to rub against the heat of the coffee shop; Taiwan writer Chu Tianxin says she does nothing, "as long as she can leave home." None of these well-known writers writes on a computer, let alone rely on w ifi.

Maybe people are obsessed with cafe writing because of something else.

As we all know, Sartre, who declares that "others are hell", is not a pervert who locks himself in a vacuum canister. On the contrary, he is more active in the cafe than anyone else. Those who think they can write quietly at home are actually more likely to be disturbed by familiar things, while in cafes with a good atmosphere and high-quality guests (Starbucks is certainly not), everyone can be safe and self-sufficient in their own independent work atmosphere, which helps to concentrate. Focusing on our inner world while maintaining the most basic response and attention to the outside world may be better for writing than browsing Weibo every five minutes while wanting to write at home.

So, wouldn't it be helpful for people who want to write in a cafe without w ifi? Without w ifi, it may also help you filter out boring people who want to play Texas poker on the free Internet-of course I'm just trying to force a smile out of bitterness.
