What's worse is that the families of those who do get out are often tortured, imprisoned, and even killed. Not just immediate family, but even extended family. To make you think long and hard about whether your freedom means enough to sacrifice the lives oof so many others. Her talk gives no details, but I'm sure she experienced many unspeakable things. She's afraid to talk in case she still has other family there who could be hurt, or bc she doesn't want to lose her composure. There's one guy who escaped north Korea who didn't speak up for many years bc his sister was still there and he didn't want her punished bc of him. After she went crazy in prison there (God only knows what they did to her!) and was released bc she is now like a child mentally, he began talking about the atrocities going on there.

[@mengmengsu3893]

Maddie Mohos Dalian is not a state but a city of Liaoning province of China. I don't think it could be North Korea you saw on the other side of the sea since Dalian is not that closed to North Korea. The city you saw on the otherside of the sea was probably Yantai, which is a city of Shandong province. Dandong , another city of Liaoning province, is the one she was talking about. There is a river called Yalujiang on the border and actually I used to be there once. A lot North Koreans are livng and working there illegally with Chinese families' help. I am very sorry for her but I can't agree that it sounds like Chinese fault to send them back to their own country. I know they are poor and the government can't be worse, but it's not anyone's responsibility to help. We can help but we don't have to. You can't blame people for not help these illegal immigrants.

I said I don't have the right to complain about all my stupid problems, like getting too much homework or having to get up too early in the morning, etc. Compared to this, those are nothing. Nobody likes getting too much homework, but it's really not that bad. Some people are in way worse situations than I am, and instead of complaining about these small things, we should be grateful for what we have. For example I often complain about the smallest things, but in reality I have a family, a house to live in, enough food, I can go to school, I don't have to fear for my own or my loved ones' lives, and compared to others I have a really good life. Obviously I have my own problems just like everyone else does, and they do matter, but I shouldn't complain about all those small things that I find slightly uncomfortable.

This is so heartbreaking to hear, but i'm literally crying when she talked about her lowest point and there's a man out of nowhere helped her and show the kindness, i wish i could be that man.

I wish we could rescue the people from North Korea and give them peace.

[@onetwome]

you can't, they have to break the system from the inside. it's how the soviet union collapsed not that long ago. or rocket man goes to war with the US, kills millions of North Koreans, survivors overthrow the regime and work their way to democracy

[@hachikosenjo1915]

North Koreans are taught to hate America and Japan, some of them would want to be rescued but others would stay and hate. Sad😢😢😢

90% of them are brain washed....even if they change the system they need at least 1-2 generations to pass, so things can come back to normal

Mandarin is the hardest language she learned it with no tutor. She is great.

[@nachochips14]

It really depends on your native language, since its easier for a japanese? to learn chinese. If anything, it's more impressive that she learnt english despite her access

[@mariachristymomongan9444]

What makes mandarin a difficult language is the kanji, and not the grammar. Korean native speakers will easily learn mandarin!

[@ellikrissps8740]

@@mariachristymomongan9444 mandarin words are actually called ”汉字” or “han zi”in pinyin. “Kanji” is the Japanese equivalent.

I have read her autobiography book "The Girl with Seven Names" years ago and I got so hooked up to it that I was able to finish the book in 1 day. All I can say is what she experienced before and during her defection out of North Korea to China to Laos and finally to South Korea was just totally insane. She's just the bravest of the bravest. She was able to survived after experiencing those horrible things at a very young age. She's just so amazing.
