When I first came to Taiwan in 2012, I was actually here just to trace my roots to Luo Dayou's well-known song "Lukang Town". That's why I took the train and then the bus during my trip around the island and came to Lukang, Changhua.
I didn't expect to go to Mo Ru Lane, which became a hot topic because of its name. At that time, I didn't know why this ordinary passage, which was much narrower than a normal street, was given this somewhat unpresentable name, but after I came back and searched on Baidu, I understood the real meaning.
It turned out that this was an alley with a history of more than 200 years. Because it was narrow, only one person could pass through. If two people crossed each other, it was inevitable that they would have physical contact, so it was nicknamed "Mo Ru Lane". But the more practical and closer to the truth reason is that according to the local older generation, the reason why this alley is so narrow is mainly because the local residents try to reduce the distance between houses in order to block the strong sea breeze.
But there is attraction only when there is a topic. Now this name that does not explore the truth has indeed successfully brought in crowds.
