@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 $$? -
@arissaoh@sarahjeong Yes. See also Germany.
