At
the Tumen River’s lowest point during winter, when temperatures drop
well below 0 degrees F., many North Koreans see crossing it into China
as a better option than starving to death under an oppressive regime.
Two young North Korean women who dared such an escape in 2000 ran into
traffickers who sold them into slavery. Both gave birth to their owners
before Chinese officials arrested the women and repatriated them to
North Korea, where they spent 18 months in prison. They escaped and
returned to China to live with their daughters, this time running into a
Christian ministry rather than traffickers. The ministry to refugees
wants to help the women realize their dream of opening a Korean
traditional rice cake store to support themselves and their daughters.
