具體描述
'I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.'
Yeonmi Park was not dreaming of freedom when she escaped from North Korea. She didn't even know what it meant to be free. All she knew was that she was running for her life, that if she and her family stayed behind they would die - from starvation, or disease, or even execution.
This book is the story of Park's struggle to survive in the darkest, most repressive country on earth; her harrowing escape through China's underworld of smugglers and human traffickers; and then her escape from China across the Gobi desert to Mongolia, with only the stars to guide her way, and from there to South Korea and at last to freedom; and finally her emergence as a leading human rights activist - all before her 21st birthday.
用戶評價
##偷渡這段真得太慘瞭，北朝鮮人民真是來自一片沒有猜疑的淨土，為瞭活下去，要付齣的東西太多瞭 作者的部分觀點我接受不瞭，對中國移民政策不滿在幾句話之間透露的非常明顯。我就想問，中國為什麼要開放接納北朝。
##樸延美真的很努力的in order to live瞭。但是書裏有明顯的個人立場，她很不滿中國遣返脫北者，但為什麼中國要接受？還有一些細節存疑，比如說hongwei在瀋陽15歲就是幫派頭還有karaok empire？我不信，hongwei這個人身上太多疑點。
##哭瞭我不下3次… Yeonmi描述的童年的場景總覺得似曾相識
##最深的印象是主角即使逃離瞭也對故鄉北朝鮮充滿瞭感情，若不是活不下去大概也不會選擇齣逃吧
##標記，上半年讀的。她從未被摧毀，而是得到瞭重生。關注瞭Yeonmi的fb，她現在在哥大攻讀學位、有瞭新的戀愛、呼籲反抗xx。很不易瞭，為她高興。
##Pdd上還可以買到盜-版
##Thanks for sharing. Should reread George Orwell one more time.
##說實話通篇看著就是各種尷尬，作者全傢的智商水平和道德水平可以隨著劇情需要，從頭到尾隨意起伏變化。。。感覺這書就是三分之一親身經曆，三分之一臆想誇張，三分之一道聽途說其他脫北者的經曆雜糅齣來的一本。 最後，想說作者是個狠人，不過書名應該改叫in order to live better纔更貼近她真實的心路曆程，她和她的傢人這一路走來，想要的從來不是live那麼簡單。
##衡量國傢繁榮的指標有很多，但最簡單的一條，無疑是，那裏的人民為瞭吃得付齣多大的代價？在作者還沒逃離的時候，一天到晚經常想的就是吃，不是吃得多好，而是哪裏有的吃。是怎樣的控製與封鎖，纔能讓一群人感謝讓他們飢腸轆轆的政權。作者指齣，朝鮮人隨時隨地都有兩套故事在腦中進行，兩套故事就像兩列在軌道上平行行駛的火車。一個是國傢教你相信的事，一個是你親眼看見的事。直到她逃到南韓，讀瞭喬治-歐威爾的《1984》，她纔為這種奇特現象找到適當的字眼，那就是雙重思想（doublethink）。雙重思想讓人們在腦中同時容納兩種對立的思想，而且不會把自己搞瘋掉。
