The book we chose in our group is In Order to Live. I'm glad that our group members reached an agreement immediately of which book we want to read. It's a book talking about a young North Korean woman and her family who escaped from their hometown and search for their own freedom. At first, I was afraid that I could not understand the story clearly because I am not familiar with North Korean's history and politics. However, the author explain really detailed and clear. During her description, I got a basic knowledge of the tense between North and South Korea and the inhuman ruling system in North Korea.
After reading three chapters, I am quite surprised at the attitude of people living in North Korea toward their government. I think they are all against their government and want to escape like Yeonmi Park. Nevertheless, many of them respect their president and protect him a lot. I must say that I admire Kim's ability of convincing his citizens that all he do is for all the people's good. I am curious about how the young woman and her family run away from North Korea and I will keep reading the book.
