Can you imagine walking into a Starbucks in a Chinese city and encountering a scene that feels completely out of place?Amidst the soft background music, you might see a group of elderly women happily chatting while sorting vegetables. Nearby, some elderly men sit with their own water bottles, either snacking on sunflower seeds or playing cards. Someone else might be engaged in a leisurely game of Go, while grandparents bring their grandchildren to do homework or play. In essence, the focus is on relaxation without spending any money.#chinaobserver
