| Summary: | "This is what author Lee Ji-sung has been paying attention to for five years -- to save the lives of North Korean defectors. North Korean defectors leave North Korea and arrive in South Korea via China, Laos, and Thailand. The long and arduous journey is nearly 10,000 kilometers long. Although they risked their lives to escape, most of them end up frustrated by the strict vigilance of the Chinese public security department and the North Korean State Security Department. But there are heroes who step out to save even one more life. One of them is Superman, who is called 'North Korea's Schindler'. During the rescue process, he was arrested by the Chinese public security 8 times and went to prison 3 times. He rescued more than 4,000 North Korean defectors over 30 years with the help of human rights organizations and the United Nations after he learned the truth. Author Lee Ji-seong has been a 'strong supporter' of Pastor Superman for the past five years. He played a big role in rescuing North Korean defectors, paying for maintenance of the North Korean defector road, and informing South Korea of the reality of North Korean defectors and gathering support for participation. Together with Superman, he flew to Dandong, China, Laos, and Thailand to help rescue North Korean defectors."--Yoncei University website. |
