The home
The hometown of Tongcheng School is Liuchi Lane in the southwest of Tongcheng City, Anhui Province.
According to "Tongcheng County Records", during the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, a bachelor of Wenhua Hall in Tongcheng, Anhui Province and a minister of rites once lived in Wu Fujia's hometown. Because the two families are ancestral businesses, it has been a long time, and it is unclear who owns the three-foot open space between the two families.
Later, the Wu family rebuilt the house and needed three feet of open space, saying that the open space belonged to his family, and Zhang Yingjia thought it was his own. The two families are at loggerheads over this matter. The Zhang family wrote a letter to tell him about this situation, hoping to use her position and power to suppress the Wu family.
Unexpectedly, brinton not only did not crush the Wu family, but also let her family give up this three-foot clearing. Zhang wrote: "A thousand miles to write a book is only for the wall. What's wrong with letting him be three feet? " The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but I haven't seen Qin Shihuang. The Zhang family ordered people to give the Wu family three feet of open space. "。
The Wu family was moved by their generosity and humility. When rebuilding the house, they also gave up three feet of homestead. Between the two houses, there is an empty lane, six feet wide, called "Six-foot Lane". Zhang Ying's generosity and humility in dealing with neighborhood property disputes is an eternal story.
Liuchi Lane is only a few tens of feet long, but it leaves people with long thoughts. After the founding of New China, Mao Zedong told this story when he met with Soviet Ambassador Eugene. In February 2008, when Wu Yi, then Vice Premier of the State Council, inspected Tongcheng, he said: "The story of Liuchi Lane tells the world: Be generous and have self-restraint."
