That's howharditwasas a defector, andreally, really, sadly, therehasbeensomepeople, actually, whoevenwentbacktoNorthKoreafromSouthKorea.
But, I amverygratefulthat I wasborninNorthKoreatoday, because I'm thewinner.
でも、今日は北朝鮮に生まれた私が勝ち組なので、とてもありがたいです。

私は生き残り、自由のために戦った。
Itwasnotgiventome, but I foughtforit.
それは私に与えられたものではなく、私はそれのために戦った。
