I’ve seen a video about the girl who escape from North Korean, and I want to share what she told us in the video to support the phrase that
‘The most luckiest thing in my life is about to be Thai people.’
When She was little, She thought her country was the best on the planet. She thought she would spend her entire life in North Korea, until everything suddenly changed.
But one day, in 1995, her mom brought home a letter from a coworker's sister. It wrote that they would die with hunger
Soon after, when she was walking past a train station, She saw something terrible. A lifeless woman was lying on the ground, while an child in her arms just stared helplessly at his mother's face. But nobody helped them, because they were so focused on taking care of themselves and their families.
So she escaped from north Korea to China and then to South Korea to start her new life. But Just as she was starting to get used to her new life, she received a shocking phone call from North Korea that her family was going to remove to desolate location in the countryside. So she started planning to helping them escape.
During the travel on the path to the freedom, they were arrested a lot times. They headed to Chinese and were arrested. Hyeonseo paid find and bribe, they went on. And they were arrested again in Laos. This was one of the lowest points in her life. She didn't have enough money to pay a bribe or fine anymore. She lost all hope.
But At that moment, I heard one man's voice ask me, "What's wrong?" she was so surprised that a total stranger cared enough to ask. She explained the situation, and without hesitating, the man went to the ATM, and he paid the rest of the money for her family, and two other North Koreans to get out of jail.
The kind stranger symbolized new hope for her and the North Korean people, when we needed it most. And he showed her that the kindness of strangers and the support of the international community are truly the rays of hope we North Korean people need.
