In the early 2010s, an ex NK special force soldier escaped to China (he was sent to labor camp because one of his family member defected, but he managed to sneak out and escape to China). In China, he was arrested by the police after injuring a Chinese man when trying to steal food. He was sent to prison. Fast forward to the 2020s (don't remember the exact year), his sentence was about to finish. He knew that he'd be deported back to NK after he gets out of prison, so he escaped, again(master of jailbreak). Unfortunately, he was soon re-arrested by the Chinese police. Fortunately, he got a few more years for escaping, so at least he's fed and clothed in Chinese prison....
