It is one of the works that show the tragedy of divided Koreans.
It is very sad and sad to us that Koreans still live in the midst of a long shadow of historical sufferings.
An absurd tragedy of the Sisters
by Choi Paul-Yearn
The mother died when the youngest was eight
The father became a slave to the dictator without pay
The first sister had to be the two youngers’ parents
The third decided to escape from N. Korea as starvation
The first could not deny it and made her leave
Fortunately she came to Korea through China.
Two older sisters escaped with the help of the third
The first broke up with the second by the Chinese broker
She, smuggling thousands km with bribes by leading of
a Koran pastor, arrived at safe zone without arrested.
But she had to walk hundreds km more until to across
the border of Thai generous to the refugees.
Finally, the eldest was stepping on S. Korean soil.
The eldest and youngest met crying like heavy rains
The second was sold to a middle-aged Chinese
At the age of 20, she was forced to become the mother
of two children, being trapped to speak Chinese only,
at first time when she met her two sisters,
she couldn't talk any thing in Korean langue.
Oh, the picture of the three sisters just crying and crying!
After seeing such a tragedy any fools follow communism?
