While preparing a cup of Americano, 20-year-old barista Zheng Hong may occasionally fumble or pause due to uncertainty. Yet, what he receives from the waiting customers and assistants as well is not annoyance, but warm smiles and encouraging words.


Zheng works at a cafe in Xining, capital of northwest China's Qinghai Province. At this cafe, where job opportunities are offered to those with mental disabilities, Zheng, an autistic youth, spent nearly two months in memorizing every step for making a cup of coffee.
