My grandfather was a colonel in the US army, and a veteran of the Korean War. I was lucky to be able to travel to South Korea with him in 2002, as part of a program where the South Korean government invited veterans from the war to come and visit and tour around. Going to the border within the DMZ between north and South Korea was a surreal experience. The border in this program is like a fence between you and your neighbors, the DMZ is like a fence built down the middle of your living room… very sad

I have cycled along this border many time, there are a lot of stories you from the locals living in the small villages along the tumen river. Like Koreans coming over stealing watermelons or motorbikes, there has even been some instances of elderly farmers murdered in their homes from robberies. I've heard stories that there was a time when the illegals were sent back to the border the Korea guards would string the defectors up with hooks through the muscle around the armpit, this supposedly stop after some protest from the Chinese soldiers. The majority of the towns that are on the northern border you can see people living a pretty normal life, kids with colourful inflatable rings swimming in the river with pet dogs, old men fishing, sometimes can see and hear the workers in the back of trucks heading home singing songs. The place this reporter goes to is a tourist place that Chinese go to gawk at the koreans.

[@rongwu-sj9ws]

I heard a similar story from a local friend who said that young Chinese soldiers bawled their eyes out and had self-doubt: What have I done? The political commissar had to pacify the fighters and make a stern protest to the opposite side through the state. My friend also said that since then, the locals basically pretend not to see hungry people coming from the other side, as long as they don't commit murder and robbery or anything like that.

very well made document. also as someone who spent the first 19 years of life in Shanghai, i'd like to share my perspective. chinese government has long been hoping to help NK to "open up" socially and economically (like china did back in 1979) without radical regime change. but progress was slow and then pretty much halted all together when kim jung un came to power. their government is going backwards but their people is going forward. there are a great deal of stories from escapees saying young people in NK sneak in Kpop music and pass them among each other. that's why chinese troops are stationed at the boarder in mass - i get a sense that china has given up on them and is just waiting for an implosion. other countries especially america have been on china's arse 24/7 saying china being the greatest ally of NK should do more to control them. greatest ally? well, sorry. no longer the case. we send them food because we pity their starving people, not their grease-dripping government. you simply can't help someone who don't want to be helped.
