how far is a Li

[how2etc]

@jabames Hey Thanks for watching our videos and asking about a Li. The li (里, lǐ) is a traditional Chinese unit of distance, which has varied considerably over time but now has a standardized length of 500 meters or half a kilometer (approx. 1640 feet). A modern li consists of 1,500 Chinese "feet" or chi and, in the past, was often translated as a "mile." Now you know.

@jabames It is approximately a mile depending on who you check with. There is some debate of the translation. Sorry for taking so long on the reply. Thanks for watching and commenting!

A constructive criticism: the audio transcript is poorly communicated and enunciated, many words are mispronounced and at odds with the text. The voice is good, but the transmission suffers because of these seemingly minor differences between audio transmission and what the text communicates. This degrades the quality of the message and does it a great disservice, as the meaning of what is said, is not the meaning of what is written. I do hope you will take the time to fix this. Otherwise good.
