1 What can you see in the picture
2 What do you think the story is about
Two men are bowing to each other in front of ancient buildings.
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.

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.
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.
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

作为回报

于是，两家之间就有了一条六尺宽的小巷。

1 How do you understand “as a gift” and “as time continues to drift” in the poem

Last summer, Mary stayed with her friend Alice in London. She brought her new guitar. One day, Alice tried playing it but dropped it by mistake. The guitar broke. Mary shouted at Alice and told her to buy a new one. But Alice had no money. They argued and stopped talking. After a few days, Mary felt bad and she missed Alice. She said sorry to Alice and so did Alice. She sold her toys and bought Mary a new guitar. Mary was happy and said, "You're more important than the guitar!" They learnt that true friendship starts with understanding each other, even when mistakes happen.
