Description
Crossing Heaven's Border is a firsthand account of Hark Joon Lee's experiences living among North Korean defectors in China from 2007 to 2011.
Lee witnessed the harsh realities of human trafficking, the smuggling of illicit drugs by North Korean soldiers, and a rare successful escape from North Korea by sea. He followed the often tragic lives of defectors who risked everything for their hopes, tracing their journeys across China, Siberia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.
This book is a gripping narrative that sheds light on the complex issues surrounding North Korean defectors and their struggles to escape persecution.
