In a certain corner of the world, there is an indescribable and wonderful phenomenon, that is, "one village, two countries". It is a geographical wonder and a vivid example of the intermingling of peoples. Yinjing and Mangxiu, located next to the No. 71 boundary monument on the China-Myanmar border, are such a peculiar existence.
Here, the national border is no longer a cold and unforgiving dividing line, but is integrated into the minutiae of life, becoming warm and vibrant. Chinese melon vines stretch freely to Burma's bamboo hedges, bearing abundant fruits; Burmese hens also often wander the homes of Chinese residents, quietly laying eggs of hope.
This wonderful blending is accustomed to the border people living in the village, who cross the border dozens of times a month, as if they are just making a daily visit.
The common people in the village, they have the same language and customs, and their life is like a meandering stream, although separated by two countries, but flowing with the same blood and emotions.
In the Yinjing "One Village, Two Countries" scenic spot, if there is no majestic national gate on the Chinese side and the border armed police on duty, as well as the national flag hanging high on the opposite side of the Myanmar side and the office of the Myanmar Immigration Bureau, you will not be able to feel that this is the junction of the two countries.
In the meantime, the border residents of the two countries ride motorcycles, bicycles or walk-behind tractors, as if they are moving freely in their own fields, and the nature and harmony are enviable.
The swing of "one swing and two countries" in the stockade is a symbol of this peculiar attraction. Sitting on the swing and swinging lightly, you can instantly "go abroad". This experience is undoubtedly the most vivid interpretation of the phenomenon of "one village, two countries". It shows us that even though borders are clear, people's emotions and lives can be so closely connected that they cannot be separated.
However, as globalization accelerates, the boundaries between countries are becoming increasingly blurred. In this context, the phenomenon of "one village and two countries" is even more precious and special.
It shows us that even in modern society, people can still find that deep sense of belonging and identity on both sides of the national border.
Nowadays, for the needs of management, the relevant parties have planted a row of thin bamboos on our side of the ditch, and there is still a path across both sides of the ditch in the middle. This is to facilitate the villagers of Mangxiu Village, Myanmar, to come to "one well and two countries" to fetch water from "one well".
This measure not only reflects the importance attached to border management, but also takes into account the actual needs of border residents. It shows us that even in modern society, people can still maintain that deep emotional connection and communion while respecting the rules.
"One village and two countries" is not only a geographical wonder, but also a manifestation of the humanistic spirit. It allows us to see that national borders do not prevent people's communication and blending, but in this special environment, people's emotions and lives have been more deeply integrated and sublimated.
This kind of integration and sublimation not only makes us feel the warmth and beauty of human nature, but also gives us a deeper understanding and recognition of the concept of "peace, friendship, cooperation and win-win" in international relations.
Overall, "One Village, Two Countries" is a unique geographical and cultural phenomenon that allows us to see the real life and emotional exchanges of people on both sides of the border.
This kind of exchange and blending not only makes us feel the beauty and warmth of human nature, but also gives us a deeper understanding and recognition of international relations. In the days to come, let us hope that this blending and harmony can be reflected and developed in more places.
