Welcome! You can find information about the World Cafe and this community in the "Orientation" and "Resources" tabs in this website - please let me know if you have questions or need help.
There are many people here from mainland China, and there have been two Chinese translations of the World Cafe book published in China. You may like to use an "advanced search" to find others in your region who are interested in World Cafe, and I know (and others here) would love to hear more about you and how you became aware of the World Cafe.
Best Wishes,
Amy
