@sarahjeong@arissaoh Heh. My grandfather was from N Korea, like legit. My mat grandmother immigrated South but a generation/two before.
@jazzagold @arissaoh my family’s all based out of the South, but I have a Marxist great-aunt who moved north voluntarily :/

@sarahjeong@arissaoh He actually went on a family reunification trip a few years ago, saw some sibs. He's v old tho, like 96, 97? -
@jazzagold@arissaoh That’s cool. My family hasn’t had direct contact w/ great-aunt since before Korean War. -
@sarahjeong@jazzagold My grandfather went N for a brief trip (he thought) & when he came back my grandma, mom & uncle had fled S. -
@sarahjeong@jazzagold Grandma was pregnant when he left, took my toddler mom & newborn uncle w/ her. She was 23, never saw him again. -
@sarahjeong@jazzagold Got a letter in 1989 from his sister in N, learned he had died year before. She didn't get out of bed for months. -
@arissaoh@sarahjeong It kind of breaks my heart when people act as if the separation didn't matter. It does. -
@jazzagold@arissaoh I was just thinking about how crazy it is that new generation is mostly against reunification, on economic grounds -
@sarahjeong@jazzagold Yeah, after all that talk about "danil minjok" and now "dongpo" - does everything have to be about $$? - 1 réponse de plus
