Nothing to Envy
很沉重的一本书。他们死于饥荒,死于劳动营,死于疾病,对谁也不能交心,担心告密,太无助了;他们逃离朝鲜,担心被中国政府遣返,对留在朝鲜的亲人感到愧疚,到了韩国也仍然无法真正融入,即使是朝鲜顶尖大学的毕业生,医学院毕业行医多年的人也没什么用处,得重新来过,因为他们的知识也是落后的。谈到朝鲜,没人会想到爱情,但这种美好的感情也是要被摧毁扭曲的。脱北者的叙述或许不全然真实,可能存在夸大和一些无法证实的传言,但大体是可信的。他们不再相信金家的谎言了,脱北者日渐增加,朝鲜还能存在多久?除却真正发自内心对朝鲜民众的同情,太多政治的你进我退了,美国、苏联和中国考虑的更多的是朝鲜半岛对自己的战略意义,国家和民族的分裂和仇视、饥荒死多少人似乎都不是那么重要。就连现在韩国对中国遣返脱北者的态度也是一样复杂。
