Every morning, dozens of students from Myanmar walk hand in hand across the border into China's Yunnan province.
There, they are led by patrol officers to Yinjing Frontier Primary School. After school, as they are escorted to the border inspection station, they wave, tell the officers goodbye and return to their homes in Myanmar.
The students attend the first frontier primary school in China. Located in Yinjing village in the small border city of Ruili in Yunnan province, the school has 36 Myanmar students and 99 Chinese students. Founded in 1960, it has been admitting students from Myanmar since 1990.
