Walking Through Time: The Historic Legacy of Hui Che Alley

#chinatrip #handan #huichealley #historical #historicalsite
Walking through Hui Che Alley in Handan, I felt as if I had traveled back over two thousand years to the Warring States period. This narrow alley is steeped in history, named after the story of Lin Xiangru, a senior official of the Zhao State, who reportedly gave way to General Lian Po here, earning it the name "Hui Che Alley" (Turning Carriage Alley).
Standing here, I can't help but imagine the time when Lian Po ordered his carriage to block the road three times, while Lin Xiangru, instead of arguing or asserting his power, chose to retreat and yield in this very alley. His tolerance and foresight became a model for future generations, placing the interests of the nation above all.
Walking through this historic alley, I am deeply moved by the weight of history and the wisdom it imparts.
