Border Town was depicted to be a ‘dreamlike’ town, with its citizens enjoying peace generation after generation, like the flowing water in the river next to the town.

and “Living on the Border: A Wound That Will Not Heal”, I came upon a common argument expressing that the borders are built and shaped by the people.
