Li Yuan whose parents operated a grocery store in front of Chenzhou Hotel was born after 1985.
In order to establish the small garden in front of Chenzhou Hotel, Li’s parents’grocery and other stores there need to be removed in 2011.
On learning that news, Li and her parents were shocked and could not understand why the government gave up the profitable stores but chose the garden which was useless but viewing.
But three years later, Li Yuan’s cafes which was opened near Chenzhou Hotel was operated well and the family finally realized the significance to build the small garden by replacing the stores there.
“Most of the guests came here to enjoy their leisure life with a cup of coffee. Maybe some just stared outside without saying anything.” Li said, “I felt that the time past slower when I saw the guests sit there.”
