Two local families argued over the dividing line between their houses. One gave up part of his yard, showing kindness. They finally reached agreement, creating a “Liuchixiang (Six-chi Lane)” as a dividing line. Six chi away, but closer together 1 Narrow lanes are very common in China. They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liuchixiang (Six-chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one. 2 Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, the Zhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn’t reach 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. 狭窄的小巷 约两米宽 用传统中国计量单位说 追溯到清朝 当地的两户人家 张家 吴家 Read the story and check your answers. 2 P28 为了房子的分界线发生了争吵 达成一致意见 他们的亲戚 在政府中担任要职 征求意见 他们打开信，发现里面有一首诗 A letter from far away just for a wall Is not right or good at all.

This act deeply moved the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi. And so came the six-chi-wide lane between the two houses. 4 Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the lane is still there. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in mind. Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness. 感到很惭愧 让出 深深地打动 作为回报 决定做同样的事情 又让出看三尺 于是，两家之间就有了一条六尺宽的小巷。 几百年 把这首诗牢记于心 善良是如何鼓励更多的善良的 走在小巷里 Task 1 Six chi away, but closer together It means although their houses were farther from each other, they had a closer relationship. 1 What do you think the title means Match the main ideas with each paragraphs.
