answer: #Person1# and #Person2# talk about the popularity of coffee and tea in China, which represents in a culture aspect. Coffee is usually considered as a hobby of middle-class people and young people easily become blind worshippers of a Westernized life. However, the traditional teahouses keep fading away in the metropolis.
documents: #Person1#: In China at least, coffee is often associated with an exotic, well-to-do bourgeois lifestyle. Coffee is often considered a hobby of the well-educated, middle-class people.
  #Person2#: Maybe that's why some young chaps often spend a whole afternoon in a coffee bar, surfing the net or just typewriting something with laptop. While they are savoring a coffee at a leisured pace, they are actually showing off!
  #Person1#: Yes. Behind a lifestyle, there is a culture. Young people easily become blind worshippers of a Westernized life. While they may not really like coffee, they think it desirable and enviable to be lavish with money in those high-consumption places.
  #Person2#: Then what about tea? We need to bear in mind in the first place that tea, rather than coffee, has been the most popular drink for the Chinese people.
  #Person1#: Well. Tea represents another facet of popular culture. While a coffee bar is usually quiet and resonates with soft, elegant music, a teahouse is often a noisy, crowded, public space. People visit teahouses to associate with others, playing chess, chatting, or simply listening to operas.
  #Person2#: What a pity that the traditional teahouses, as depicted by Lao She, keep fading away so quickly in this metropolis. It is not easy to find an old-fashioned teahouse that suits the ordinary people's spending power either. Teahouses of today all feature a cozy, comfortable environment, and high-quality services, but can easily cost you a good deal, just like a coffee bar.
  #Person1#: Well, that's true. In a sense, it is not so much what you drink that really counts, as where and how you drink.
