Viewermax is a hub of top novels of all genres. I recently read Under the Same Sky by a college student, Joseph Kim. He writes his story about difficult childhood and growing up in the North Korea.
Kim lived a happy life until 5 years with his elder sister and parents in Hoeryong, which is popular its beautiful women, pottery clay and white apricots. In 1995, everything changed when a devastating famine arrived. Kim’s family was one of the millions who reduced to abject poverty. Like others, Kim’s family was also forced to beg for living from relatives or strangers who hardly had enough food for themselves. Kim’s mother was the first one to feel famine, and the dark energy. His cheerful father too became victim to lingering illness, despair and eventually died.
Desperate for food and money, Kim’s mother along with his elder sister went to China and there she started making illegal deals. Kim was left alone on the streets. Finally, he was taken away by the authorities to a detention center or a forced labor camp meant for homeless children. In consistent search for food and stability, Kim, now a teenager left the camp and started searching for his mother and sister. He went to China, where a Christian woman helped him with a fresh beginning in the United States. Narrated with dignity and poise, Kim’s story gives brilliant documentation of his life.
