Tales of Border Towns: One Village, Two Countries

RUILI, China, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily: 

Along the China-Myanmar border in Ruili, Yunnan, China, lies a cultural wonder: "One Village, Two Countries". A winding border line splits this Dai village in two. The Chinese side is called Yinjing, and the Myanmar side is called Mangxiu.

At Yinjing Primary School, many children from Myanmar cross the border every day to attend school in China. Day after day, this short path has witnessed countless stories of the deep and enduring Pauk-Phaw friendship between the peoples of China and Myanmar.
