Section 3 本文

Section 3
 Murals can be seen in Berlin,/Germany,/as well.// They have a unique origin.// They were painted/on the Berlin Wall.//
 The Berlin Wall divided the city/into the West and the East/from 1961 to 1989.// The wall was a symbol/of the Cold War.// In 1989,/a few days after the fall of the wall,/118 artists from 21 countries/started painting murals/on the east side of the wall.// The next year,/1.3 kilometers of the wall/was officially opened/as the East Side Gallery.//
 The artists included their individual messages/and statements/in their murals.// They must have been an expression/of people’s happiness/over the end of the German division.// It seems/that they remind people/of the sad history/of creating a border/inside one country.//
