elephants killed her mother. But some people think that because tribal people have lived with wild animals for so many years, they know how to deal with them.

There is an unusual coffee shop in Shanghai. It is the first coffee shop that runs by blind people in China. Twin brothers Yin Tianbao
and Yin Tianyou serve as baristas ( 咖啡师) there. Tianbao is also the
manager of the shop.
The brothers were born blind, but it has never stopped them from enjoying their life. They like playing football and they are skilled skate boarders and marathon runners. Their latest effort to challenge themselves is running the coffee shop.
Tianbao began learning to make coffee in late 2021. It was no easy
task for him. He practiced making over 100 cups of coffee every day. “There is no other way but to practice over and over again,” Tianbao said. Latte art was the most challenging part for
him. “The milk foam (泡沫) is so light that it's hard for me to know whether the coffee cup is
almost full by the sound. What I can do is try by feeling slowly,” he said.
Tianbao's hard work has paid off. Now he can make a great cup of coffee in two minutes. “Making coffee makes me full of hope for the future. If I can succeed in this, maybe I can succeed in many other things,” Tianbao said. It also encouraged his brother Tianyou to follow in his footsteps and become a barista.
The shop is specially designed ( 设 计 ) to meet the brothers' needs. It uses different
materials in different work areas. For example, wood is used at the checkout and steel in the cleaning area. The coffee machine has buttons ( 按钮) in different shapes to help the brothers make different kinds of coffee. From overcoming physical challenges to running a coffee shop,
the brothers are trying to make the impossible possible.
