'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.
##2020年標記的,不知道為什麼又沒有瞭,好奇怪啊。
##這本書的繁體版豆瓣條目消失瞭。
##哭瞭我不下3次… Yeonmi描述的童年的場景總覺得似曾相識
##藉卡,中文詞條炸瞭。一本血書。最近在諸多作品的夾擊下思考著“自由”的含義,樸研美的經曆幫我理清瞭最淺一層的邏輯。真心希望她日後平安喜樂、諸事順遂。
##Thanks for sharing. Should reread George Orwell one more time.
看完立馬想買the girl with seven names。一搜,全網沒有。淘寶上也隻有一傢海外代購的。大概在某(很)種(大)程度上,這些書說的也是我們吧。
##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。
##因為她最後的生活越來越好瞭,就有越來越多的人質疑她故事的真實性,這點我感同身受瞭。但幸福是自己的,是你的彆人就奪不走。
##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。
