They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liu Chi Xiang(Six-chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one. 2 Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, theZhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach an agreement. The Zhang family was angry. Their relative, Zhang Ying, had a position high up in the government. They wrote him a letter, asking for advice. When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside. A letter from far away just for a wall Is not right or good at all. Three chi to your neighbour as a gift Is nothing as time continues to drift. 3 After reading it, the Zhang family felt ashamed. They stepped back three chi for their neighbour. This act deeply moved the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi.

Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness. 相隔六尺,却更加亲近 1 Narrow lanes are very common in China.

Best wishes, Li Hua The story happens in a quiet neighborhood on a sunny afternoon. The main characters are Mr. Johnson, a retired teacher who loves gardening, and his new neighbor, Lily, a busy college student who enjoys playing the guitar. One day, Mr. Johnson notices that Lily’s loud guitar playing often disturbs his peace. He becomes annoyed and decides to complain. Meanwhile, Lily feels frustrated because Mr. Johnson’s pruning machine is too noisy early in the morning when she is trying to sleep. Instead of arguing, they decide to talk calmly. Mr. Johnson explains how the loud music affects his quiet time, and Lily shares her need for rest in the mornings. They agree on a solution: Lily will play her guitar only in the afternoons, and Mr. Johnson will use his machine later in the day. The story teaches us that good relationships are built on communication and compromise. By listening to each other’s needs, people can find ways to live together peacefully. Understanding and respect make a neighborhood a happier place for everyone. $
