Jihyun Park is one of those rare survivors. Twice she escaped the so-called “socialist miracle” of North Korea to flee famine and dictatorship.
By the age of 29, she had already endured a lifetime of suffering. Family members had died of starvation, and her brother was beaten nearly to death by soldiers. Even smiling and laughing was discouraged.
The first time she fled, she was forced to leave her father on his deathbed, crossing the border under a hail of bullets. In China, she was sold to a farmer, with whom she had a son, before being denounced and forcibly returned to North Korea.
Six months later, guards abandoned her, injured, outside a prison camp. She recovered and returned to China to seek her six-year-old son, before attempting the long, perilous journey through the Gobi Desert into Mongolia.
Clear-eyed and resolute, Jihyun’s extraordinary story reveals a Korea far removed from the headlines about nuclear weapons and sanctions. Even amid unimaginable hardship, she remains resilient, finding and recalling life’s small pleasures, and imbues her tale with remarkable grace and humanity.
