  • Charles tells the story of his eventual escape from North Korea in 2008 at age 14. After a brief period of time in China at the age of 8, he was sent back to North Korea to work in a labor camp where he was starved and beaten... What have you survived?

      I've met defectors in Seoul..they have the same look in their eyes. Imagine going through what he went through just to get out and then knowing NK government could still try to find you, kidnap you, and take you back to NK..its happened before..you know the NK gov would make that point known to everyone. Imagine wondering what happened/is happening to your friends and family back home. ..how severely they're being punished for your actions. I pray this man, and all defectors, find peace and are able to live happy lives.

Things are not easy as those people who left comments like"evil china, damn u china" think. If NK reign falls, millions of refugees will flood China and South Korea, it gonna be real messy. Like Trump shouts out "American first", Chinese has it only interests to consider. Sometimes u gonna make a choice, its not as simple as making choice between "less evil " and "greater evil".

Instead it would be better to have a part of the curriculum set for it like a large project which requires thought and research.
