definitions

noun

  1. drain; ditch

    2. My Nani didn't let me play in the longkang. Actually, it was mostly boys and some of the more daring girls who liked to climb down the steps at the side of the longkang to play and catch fish. They even played catching on the concrete floor of the longkang because the longkang was really very big, you know, and it would be dry enough.
