书籍介绍
这不是一本让人读得舒服的苦难回忆录。初翻书页，你会为那个四岁女孩唯一的成人梦想是“买很多面包随便吃”而心头一紧；但真正揪住人的，是书中对“情感独裁”的揭示——政权不仅控制你的行动与言语，更侵入你的梦境，让你梦见领袖慈祥地拥抱、递给你糖果。这种对人性深处的操控，比饥饿更令人脊背发凉。然而读者评价却两极分明：有人视它为“朝鲜版《活着》”，为那个94年出生、与许多人同龄的女孩拼命活下去而落泪；也有人直言后半部失真、立场先行，甚至质疑部分细节。正是这种真实与可疑的交织，构成了本书最大的张力。它适合那些愿意直面一个残酷问题的人：当一个国家的灾难如此具体地压在一个少女身上，我们究竟该哀怜她的遭遇，还是追问她讲述的边界？
作者简介
Yeonmi Park (Korean: 박연미; born 4 October 1993) is a North Korean defector and activist whose family fled from North Korea to China in 2007 and settled in South Korea in 2009, before moving to the United States in 2014. Her family turned to black-market trading during North Korea's economic collapse in the 1990s. Her father was sent to a labor camp for smuggling. They fled to China, where Park and her mother fell into the hands of human traffickers and she was sold into slavery before escaping to Mongolia. She is now an advocate for victims of human trafficking in China and works to promote human rights in North Korea and around the globe.

精彩摘录
- "Once I even dreamed about Kim Jong Il. He was smiling and hugging me and giving me candy. I woke up so happy, and for a long time the memory of that dream was the biggest joy in my life. Jang Jin Sung, a famous North Korea defector and former poet laureate who worked in North Korea's propaganda bure"
- "Nother and South Koreans have the same ethnic backgrounds, and we speak the same language-- except in the North there are no words for things like "shopping malls","liberty" or even "love," at least as the rest of the world knows it."
- "Many years later, after she told me her story, I finally understood why when my mother sent me off to school she never said, "Have a good day," or even, "Watch out for strangers." What she always said was, "Take care of your mouth.""
- ""Remember, Yeonmi-ya," she said gently, "even when you think you're alone, the birds and mice can hear you whisper." She didn't mean to scare me, but I felt a deep darkness and horror inside me."
- "He bribed officials-- whose salaries weren't enough to feed their families-- in order to travel freely in his own country. And while it's true that my grandfather and my parents stole from the government, the government stole everything from its people, including their freedom."
- "In the free world, children dream about what they want to be when they grow up and how they can use their talents. When I was four and five years old, my only adult ambition was to buy as much bread as I liked and eat all of it. When you are always hungry, all you think about is food."
- "In North Korea, it's not enough for the government to control where you go, what you learn, where you work, and what you say. Then need to control you through your emotions, making you a slave to the state by destroying your individuality, and your ability to react to situations based on your own ex"
- "There was an endless list of crimes in North Korea. The government was obsessed with preventing corrupt ideas from penetrating our borders, so all foreign media were totally forbidden. Although many families owned televisions, radios, and VCR players, they were allowed to listen to or watch only sta"

用户评论
看的是繁体版，条目已经没了。简直是朝鲜版《活着》，真就是牺牲了一切，只为了活下去。主角竟然是94年的，跟我同岁的人，已经经历了大多数人一生都无法想象的……几次读的眼眶湿润……书里没有概念，大可看作是一个普通却坚韧的女孩，为了活下去的坎坷前半生。只不过刚好这个女孩是🇰🇵人………🇰🇵这个政权的存在就是全人类之耻，它犯下的罪恶在书里是具体可感的，看到主角附在书里的和家人的合照，童年照，再联想主角的遭遇，🇰🇵对民众的迫害不再是诸如人权，自由之类的口号，那是一个个被迫逃离家园，与亲人分离，是一个个宁愿被当牲口贩卖，也不愿再返回🇰🇵的人。是一个个被饿死，被强暴，被剥夺属于人的尊严的你我一样的普通人，是一个个想过上吃饱穿暖的普通生活却无法满足的普通人。而这是脱北者经历的日常。
Joan Didion, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
这是有关个人成长和生存思考的逃北回忆录。一个93年出生的小姑娘，13岁逃离那个众所周知的“动物农场”，历经沧桑逃到韩国并努力融入社会最终成为人权斗士。她回忆到：“在迈向自由的旅途中，我看过人性的险恶，但也亲眼目睹人在悲惨境遇中相互扶持，甚至牺牲自己的人性美善。我知道人为了活命，有可能丧失一部分的人性，但我也知道，人性的光辉永远不会熄灭，只要得到自由的氧气和爱的力量，就能再度点燃。为了活下去，我做过各种选择，这本书就是我的种种选择串成的故事。”
看的台湾汉语版的
一面镜子，照出丑陋
说实话通篇看着就是各种尴尬，作者全家的智商水平和道德水平可以随着剧情需要，从头到尾随意起伏变化。。。感觉这书就是三分之一亲身经历，三分之一臆想夸张，三分之一道听途说其他脱北者的经历杂糅出来的一本。
最后，想说作者是个狠人，不过书名应该改叫in order to live better才更贴近她真实的心路历程，她和她的家人这一路走来，想要的从来不是live那么简单。
一个由女性讲述的脱北过中入韩的血泪故事。有人怀疑书中有杜撰和夸大成分，但我始终觉得应该相信苦难存在于各个角落，多的是你不了解的事。为了活下去，她们遭受了饥饿、逮捕、强暴、贩卖，非人的生活难以想象。对于指责她没有立场质疑中方遣返政策的人，我想说你们也没有立场指责一个in order to live的人。
虽然语言上的文学性不高，但是内容却很饱满
繁体
本来标记了繁体字的词条，怎么台版被禁但是英文版可以用？很难judge别人的经历，但对那句“庆幸两件事，出生在朝鲜”还是表示不太理解，我问自己我希望出生在故土吗，答案应该是否定的吧。
不让我看我偏看！
