Street corners show this well. Busy crossroads have their own social patterns: People waiting for traffic lights chat, say goodbye, or gather around vendor stalls (摊位). Sociologist William H. Whyte observed in The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces that even a single vendor can transform a corner into a mini-community, proving that small spaces can help build big relationships. These moments turn ordinary stops into opportunities for interaction.

Streets are the birthplace of relationships. Neighbors meet on connecting roads; coworkers bond over roadside drinks; strangers share short talks. These interactions build the urban social structure. As the lines between public and private spaces become less clear, streets become like extensions of home, where community takes shape naturally.

Urban experts emphasize the power of design. Jane Jacobs' "frequent streets" prioritize daily interactions, while Edward T. Hall's research shows seating arrangements affect social dynamics. A bench facing an open area or a sunny walkway encourages people to pause and interact. Thoughtful design — from shade structures to designs that are friendly to pedestrians (行人) — turns spaces into places for connection.

Despite their value, lively streets are rare due to challenges like noise, pollution, and safety worries. Planners must realize well-maintained streets should be places where people feel they belong, proving that life between buildings is the life of the city. So they should address these through comprehensive design: protecting spaces from bad elements, reducing traffic jams, and ensuring access for everyone. Taking care of them is also important, as well-designed spaces do well only when they are kept up.

I remembered standing in line at the Social Security Office with my mother. When we got to the front of the line, my mother looked at the form and started to ask the lady a question, "Excuse me, can I..." The lady cut her off and said, "Madam, take the form to the desk, fill it out, and come back. Next!" My mother and I walked to the desk, and she looked at the form. Tears started to well up in her eyes, and I asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" "Boy, I can't read or write," she answered. Then she hugged me and said, "You'll never know what it's like to be ignorant." At that time, as a child, I didn't know much about what she meant. All I know was I should do something to assist her.

Because my parents were illiterate (不识字的), they wanted to encourage my reading. They decided to buy me books with pretty pictures. When I was ten years old, I started to gather up a big collection of books. I was ready for the world with reading. However, because of a tight budget, there was little chance that I would go to college or get a scholarship. So I had to join the army. During my service, I would hear the army lawyers talk and noticed how someone could be found guilty or not guilty, with just a turn of a phrase. I started thinking, "When I get out of the army, I'm going to become a lawyer!"

I started attending night school. For seven years, I showed up at class whatever the situation. And two years after I retired from the army, I earned my bachelor's degree. Although I didn't become a lawyer, the journey did take me to a place where I could fight against ignorance in the classroom.
