過去形

Park is a North Korean defector and the
human rights activist she escaped to

China in 2007 and settled in South Korea
in 2009 Yeon-mi

you left with your mother to China when
you were only 13.  Can you tell us what it

YEON-MI: My
mom telling me not to even whisper the

birds and mice can hear my whisper so
like I was so surprised when I came to

rest in the society and parents
encourage their children to speak up and

express their feelings by what I had to
learn was that's more age how not to

express my feelings and not even think
deeply and also I was like normal child

in North Korea of course I went to
school and I learned the math like here

I was very differently to learn the math
the questions was like there are 10

American passers in your clear the five
of them and how many left to care and I

say America five American bastards and I
had to say American bastards I could not

say just Americans and of course we play
the game in school and we build a

snowman there and put pig nose and it's
represent the American and we put the

hot water there and they disappears and
we say hooray on our campus we

disappeared and they told us that the
rest of the world are just on impure and

disgusting and dangerous place and we
have nothing to envy outside the world

so our country was the past and that was
the thing I learned and that was my life

A: In North Korea you came from from
family had some privilege but your

father got in trouble with the regime
for sending medals to China so at the

age of 13 with with your mother you
decided to leave why and how did you leave?

YEON-MI: so North Korea is everything is
not free we cannot choose what to wear

we cannot want to sing a song that we
wanted to sing government to telling us

what to do what to wear what to watch so
we cannot thank him for our serves and

and also we are not equal in that
society we have a sanguine system which

means your division puts people into
strict classes and one speaker my father

became prisoner I was picking previous
prisoner starchy and therefore I didn't

have any future and you were very
starving A: You were starving

YEON-MI: yes, so I ate dragonflies or grass and think that I
could care from the nature and we

realized we had to get off from this
here and that was go to China. So in 2007 my

sister left first and my mother and I
followed it later and there was one man

actually who taught us told us he can
bring us to China so in the border a

reporter there guards with a gun
standing the earth and if they see

anybody's cause they would just shoot
them and this man who brought us Hindus

and border guards so we crossed a frozen
river but once I arrived in China I saw

my mother was being raped in front of my
eyes and I was 13 years old a time and I

got there the broker was telling my mom
I wanted to have a sexy reader I was 13

years old and I did not even know what
sex meant that time and she told them no

you cannot do that so she had to be
raped in order to protect me but that

was not a they told us in China the
government's worth tried as catchers

back so if you wanted to live in China
then you have to get married to the

Chinese man and unless if you don't you
can go back but if going back north

creates death sentence anyway we are
going to die for the starvation so as I

was age of 13 and my mom I was separated
and she served for Chinese poker and

A: While you were living with this man that
you could be reunited with your with

human trafficking was and I could
imagine how people can sterling people

people I and I just could not believe
they were negotiating price and from my

eyes and the men who bought me he was
telling me if I was trying to kill

myself
and he told me if I become his mistress

you'd by my mother and by my father from
North Korea and I thought if I sacrifice

myself then I can see my parents and I
decide to be his mistress and he bought

my mom back and he bought my father from
North Korea my father arrived in China

he was very sick and he got the colon
cancer from the prison here so he also

A: you and your
mother stayed together and decided to

get out of China no no there was a way
for us to find our Island but we heard

if we go to South Korea we can have the
asylum there and we just wanted to give

a last try we just wanted to live like
human beings with dignity and we decide

to walking across the kaabah desert so
far with people in our team we walked in

quads A: walking through the desert must
have been so cold

in the minus 40 degrees and it was one
night one day and we follow the compass

first time but of recognized compass
later so we had to follow the star to

know if the during the summertime the
censorship might be more harsh than

uture so in the minus 4 degree nobody
thinks some people would cross the

desert
and just chose that time and it was just

really randomly and I was lucky so I was
15 years old of course I felt very you

know it on a time and we were ready to
kill ourselves so we brought knives and

poison with us if we caught by Chinese
police or if we were sent back to coin

sent back to North Korea but that time
when I crossed that desert I've heard

really only the stars were with us and
even this University's earth just opened

and us and I was just completely alone
that does everything but absolute

longing less source is something that I
could not just sender         A: we heard how they

indoctrinate kids but what I was
wondering

there is something not right about
all this...  YEON-MI:  it's very it was a big dilemma

for me for a while because when I was in
North Korea

I saw the foreign video from the black
market and that video was the movie

Titanic
I could not believe how come people are

making a movie for us such a shameful
story because in North Korea there's no

love stories no love songs everything is
about our dear leader and I just could

not believe and I really literally
thought oh I know actors DiCaprio and

the new baby died but I was so glad he
was alive and I think that really movie

showed me something humanity and
something else out there but sir I could

not imagine our leader would be he
cannot make miracles for us he's not

like a person he's a god-like figure he
can do everything and this universe

chose him to be our captain of this
earth and I learned all this

University's humanity I adore him and I
that was my belief even when I was in

China people were saying all your leader
is bad that's why he was were starving I

was so upset with him why would you say
that you are later and I was defending

my leader even I was a refugee in China
so it's really I still don't believe how

that is possible even recently now I'm
in the States in the American pastures

country I'm enjoying this partisan probe
and full prosperity I think but when

once I watching documentaries North
Korean documentaries and I see that big

smile of a leader that monument I fear
something warrants me here and I know
