"My name is dapheny, and when life is folded in half, even if you are carrying a weight and taking a break, you must remain positive and independent without flinching, just like hide out cafe - a place where people can hide and rest for a while, full of vitality, brightness and cheerful atmosphere!" 」
In pearl square in Rowland Heights in the east of Los Angeles County, there is a fun coffee shop hide out café, in addition to special drinks, there are also ingenious rice cake burgers and healthy food, and the owner, Dapheny Chen, has experienced a major car accident and restarted an independent and successful career and life, becoming a model for the inspirational life of Chinese Americans in the United States. On November 1, Nanjia politicians and community members visited her store, hoping that the community could feel the positive energy of Chen Yingying's positive life from the hide out café.
On the same day, San Gabriel Mayor Liao Qinhe, Director of the Asian Youth Center Chen Fengyi, Sun Wei, Sun Xiaohua and other people from all walks of life in the community visited Chen Yingying's coffee shop hide out café and tasted various delicacies and special milk tea and coffee and other drinks. Because of the special English name of hide out café, Liao Qin and the mayor helped Chinese name on the spot: Secret Coffee. The famous calligrapher Sun Xiaohua wrote a plaque for it on the same day.
Liao Qinhe and the mayor said that Chen Yingying's life story is very touching, although her body has been seriously traumatized, but she is positive and upward, coming to the United States to study and start a business independently, which is very admirable. At the same time, the food in her store is healthy and distinctive, very delicious, and I hope that she can consider San Gabriel to come to the branch in the future, and I believe that the community will fully support her.
Although Chen Yingying relied on a wheelchair to walk, she was busy greeting everyone in the store that day, and her face was always full of sunny smiles, which made everyone deeply infected, and there was laughter everywhere.
Chen Yingying shared her life story with everyone. "I had a serious car accident in Taiwan in 2008 when I was 24 years old, and while driving, I was accidentally chased by a large truck, the body of the car flew up and exploded, I ejected from the car, fell heavily to the ground, damaged the central nervous system, and paralyzed the lower body." Since then, wheelchairs have been a part of my life. For a long time, I couldn't face the crowd. During the treatment in the hospital, I saw all the changes in life, and I also knew that even if it was a different life from others, there must be a breakthrough, and only by breaking the status quo would there be a better life. So I decided to come to the United States to study on my own, and applied for UCLA by my own efforts. It's also a breakthrough gift I gave myself to my 30-year-old. ”
"I always wanted to do something after I graduated, so I took over this coffee shop hide out café," she said. Running a coffee shop is very busy, and in the operation and management, it is always necessary to break through many barriers in order to make the store sound and colorful. The most challenging is staff management, maintaining the quality of food and beverages in the store, and constant innovation. It's interesting that you can hear a lot of different life stories, and every day is full of inspiration, as if the major disaster that happened to you is gradually not like a disaster, so that everyone who is busy has a place to rest and then move forward again. ”
The guests eagerly tasted the special food and drinks of the hide out café, during which many customers came to inquire, looking like regular customers. It seems that, as Chen Yingying expects, hide out café is not only a small station for food, but also a home for fine rest and recharge.
