Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea
The author
Barbara Demick described how actually six North Korean inhabitants in a period
of more than fifteen years used to live there. What was their lifestyle? How
they lived to meet up their everyday expenses? What was their diet? How they
lived without internet? What was their source of information? What was the
culture, pastime, profession of mostly ordinary North Korean residents? How the
six ordinary residents survived the traumatic famine that killed one-fifth of
the population in North Korea?
It was that
time when Kim Jong Un took power from his father the great leader of North
Korea, Kim Jong-il after his demise.
Apart from
covering the ordinary lives of six North Korean residents, Barbara taken into
account of many factors in which the citizens had to experience the hardships
in daily lives, those included censorship of media, tyranny of dictatorship,
lacking of basic amenities, infrastructure, healthcare, and absence of other
facilities.
