I watched this movie Crossing on-line by occasion. This is a story about lives in modern DPRK. I don’t want to talk about the politics but I was shocked by this maybe true story.
The story happened in a small village in North Korea. Longxiu, the protagonist had a family with his wife and 11-year-old son. They were poor local farmers. One day his wife affected white plague while she was pregnant. Unfortunately they were not able to buy the medicine for her wife in North Korea. His friend told him that the medicine can be found in China. In order to save his wife, he decided to steal into China for the medicine. Thus a sequence of disastrous stories happened: his wife died while he finally got the medicine in South Korea. His son became homeless on the streets. After experienced lots of sufferings his son finally died on way to see his father in Mongolia.
Longxiu, the man in deep despair, cried and asked:” Why Jesus in Not in the North to help save these people in suffering?”
I was speechless and with tears in my eyes. Why? I didn’t know. Maybe Jesus knows. Maybe it was the destiny. Maybe only in the heavens can we find the pure land without politics, wars, hunger and discriminations. May you rest in peace, these unfortunates.
