What a Scene!

In 2003, with the thawing of Sino-Indian relations, Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee's visit to China led to the resumption of talks on opening the border. Later in 2004, Indian Defence Minister's visit to China led to the formal opening of the pass. In the years before the re-opening, the only person permitted to cross the barbed wire frontier, with an Indian military escort, was a Chinese postman who would hand over the mail to his Indian counterpart in a building at the border.

Imagine it. Two postal workers, the most inoffensive and apolitical of jobs. Going up to one another even in the most bitter of relations between their nations, I'd like to imagine they became friends.
