When a family member is sick or something, it is always an anxious thing.
There is a place where they can relax, which is actually good, so we want to say that this concept is actually quite good.
[Explanation] Every morning at 10 o'clock, Cai Xiqing and his wife Su Yunya come to the cafe together. They start their busy day by grinding coffee beans. The decoration style based on white and wood tones gives a little warmth.
In the cafe, there is a Chinese medicine studio opened by the couple, mainly doing physical therapy such as cupping and acupuncture.
Cai Xiqing told reporters that in Taiwan, many hospitals have cafes where patients or their families can rest and relax.
They think this model is quite good, so they opened this health cafe in Guangzhou.

In fact, we have been interested in coffee for a long time, and we are brewing coffee ourselves.
Afterwards, we thought it was a good feeling.
When the patient comes to give him coffee, drink tea and chat, and treat him like a friend, it can make the patient trust you more and bring the distance closer, which will actually help the treatment effect.
[Explanation] Cai Xiqing, who is very interested in traditional Chinese medicine, went to study in Guangzhou from Taipei in 2006. He met his wife Su Yunya when he was a graduate student at Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Both of them are currently TCM physicians.
Su Yunya studied at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from Hualien, Taiwan in 2008, and chose to continue her studies at Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2013.
Before opening the studio, she worked in community hospitals in Baiyun District and Tianhe District of Guangzhou City and accumulated some clients.
[Explanation] Most of the people who come to the studio to see a doctor are regular customers. Su Yunya said that she hopes that more young people will accept traditional Chinese medicine, but she does not want to forcefully recommend traditional Chinese medicine to others. If young people drinking coffee in the store ask about it, she will be introduced in detail.

In fact, the conversion of regular customers is the most, and the second one is that he just came over to drink coffee. There are actually some who have converted after chatting for a while at the bar, but we will not actively promote this one, it is a bit "Buddhist".
Because I think everyone needs to be conscious, and I don't want to force this consciousness into others.
[Explanation] Regarding the matter of opening a cafe, Cai Xiqing described himself as "opening as soon as his brain was hot".
He studied Chinese medicine and is also a photography enthusiast. He often ridicules himself as a "person who is not doing a proper job", and there is a hint of "little luck" in his words.
As a barista, Cai Xiqing likes to stand at the bar and chat with people. While remembering the tastes and preferences of customers, he also made many friends.
They named the cafe "Changtan" and the Chinese medicine studio "Changxin", which together means "Changxin".

In fact, we will treat some regular customers as friends. For every customer, we hope that he will treat us as a friend. We can treat him as a friend. relationship, I would prefer to be closer.

It's cold enough at work, so can we have some temperature after get off work, or in places like cafes.
[Concurrent] Cai Xiqing, the owner of the coffee shop
In fact, the people here are relatively friendly. Many of our friends are very good. We eat, drink, and chat together.
To tell the truth, if you treat people with sincerity, people will treat you with sincerity.
I would think that where the difference in life is not very big, just use your original intention to communicate with others.
[Explanation] Having lived and studied in the mainland for more than ten years, Cai Xiqing and Su Yunya have both witnessed the rapid development of the mainland.
With the convenience of living here, more and more friends, and greater opportunities to realize their dreams, they also decided to settle down here.
[Concurrent] Su Yunya, the owner of the coffee shop
From the very beginning, our mood was just to study, and gradually it became that in fact, the development space of this place is really quite large and the potential is infinite.
So we decided to say that we can stay and consider developing in this place.
[Concurrent] Cai Xiqing, the owner of the coffee shop
Taiwan has a population of more than 20 million. In fact, the population of Guangzhou is enough. Besides, I think that when you have enough population, you have some ideas about what you want to do and what you want to do to start a business. In fact, you audience is very large.
I think there will be more opportunities than Taiwan to do some innovative things.
