I think...
-
around the same time, I saw like
-
Pretty Woman and Titanic
-
so… that’s why…
-
You know what?!
-
I saw it!!!
-
Is that it?! Is that it?!
-
My name is Yeonmi Park.
-
I was born in North Korea.
-
I escaped when I was 13 years old.
-
You know, it was a time where I had to decide
-
whether I wanted to die on the street,
-
like my father, you know, of starvation,
-
or do I want to risk my life
-
where there was a glimpse of hope
-
that I can make it to China.
-
Life in China was harder than life in North Korea.
-
If I was caught in China,
-
I would've been sent back to North Korea,
-
or I can be killed.
-
My main concern was to survive,
-
to find food for the next meal,
-
because I wanted to see my sister again.
-
North Korean girls, just like me,
-
are being sold in China.
-
My friend got sold into a town, a Chinese town,
-
and all the men were just sharing her.
-
And it’s not even like, just…
-
they shared her as just an animal, or less than that.
-
There are so many North Korean defectors
-
who are still hiding in China,
-
who are still struggling and suffering
-
Even though they want to run away,
-
they don’t know where they have to go.
-
So this is a big problem.
-
After LiNK helped me escape China,
-
I had the opportunity to come to America.
-
Nowadays, I think, whenever I decide
-
my major or my job,
-
I think, “Oh, this is freedom!"
-
I finished high school and
-
I am currently attending college.
-
And last year, I even had the privilege
-
to share my story at TED.
-
Today I’m free but,
-
all my relatives and friends are still not free.
-
If we work together
-
we can give more North Korean refugees
-
the opportunity we have.
-
I believe that we can change
-
North Koreans’ lives in so many ways.
-
We can’t do this alone.
-
We need everyone to stand
-
and face this problem with us,
-
together.
