Hello hoffnung,, n7 ]+ f7 D& D
First, I have to apologise for not being able to comment in Chinese (Years of neglect, very rusty now). % m1 r- Q6 _' Z. ?1 [0 d9 F' S公仔箱論壇Thank you for showing us these beautiful photos of North Korea, when I checked this post yesterday, I was very disappointed that the photo didn't come up; so I am rather excited to see them today.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb/ L.

Politics aside, Korea is our next door neighbour, we share a lot of commonality in terms of culture, architecture and arts.6 ?, O T8 w9 q
Even though North Korea is definitely not a developed country, your photos show the city, railway stations, parks, school are all very orderly. The wedding photo illustrates the frugal life style of the general public. It just show wedding does not have to extravagant, and a simple good meal can just be as enjoyable as a big banquet. ; w* B, k3 r. t! g* \2 II am pretty sure the rural living condition is even more impoverished than the city folks, but I am sure most of the Korean people there are both modest but dignified. I have met quite a few of them here, they are generally very honest and hard working people.2 i' N4 t+ D C- w8 C
I would definitely recommend to put this post up the top of the page. These photos are all very original and they are master pieces. 作者: hoffnung 時間: 2011-5-20 11:28 PM

Norman:thanks for your heartfelt feedback. On the other hand, I feel sorry for having removed some of the photos which were later found to be not relevant to this page -- natural scenery. I should have posted this in the "travel" section in the discussion group. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb4 u/ `+ A# Z/ d$ l; o/ f

I had longed for a chance to travel to North Korea and my dream was eventually realized last September. Though my understanding towards the North Korean people is skin deep owing to the travel restrictions imposed onto the tourists and of course, language barrier, I sensed that, without much contact with the outside world and the evil of capitalism, they were very simple (versus the people I met on the mainland which is, like North Korea, also called a communist country though ). As you have succinctly pointed out, the Korean people are both modest but dignified. In my tour, I met some Chinese citizens who were actually ethnic Koreans. Their grandparents or great grandparents fled to China between late 19th century and early 20th century to escape the oppressive colonial rule of the Japanese. For three or four generations, they have settled in China but they could still hold onto their distinctive culture -- tidy, disciplined and united with a deep affection for their own race and motherland. I really wish we could be the same and our country could be strong, not in terms of economic development only but also political and cultural advancement.

對我來說,北韓是一個充滿著神秘感的國家。她是世界上現存五個共產主義國家之中(其他包括:中華人民共和國、老撾人民民主共和國、越南社會主義共和國、古巴共和國),依舊實行高度計劃經濟、最孤立的經濟體之一。雖然都是朝鮮民族,但因為政治制度不同,北韓和南韓絕對不一樣,看的東西也就不同了。縱使大部分人包括我在內都不會認同她的專制獨裁,但你卻不得不承認她是世界上少數敢於向美國說不、很有“性格”的國家。因為國家的長期封閉,我想北韓人民亦相對地較少受到西方資本主義精神和物質文明的負面污染。我雖然也到過南韓,但北韓這個國家對我的吸引力比南韓要大得多。在全球化的影嚮下,北韓打開國門是早晚的事情(或許待金正恩正式上台吧)。在我到北韓開城期間,那些國營商店因為國家政策的轉變,已開始引入一些市場經濟的理念,店與店之間在生意上無何避免地出現小規模的競爭,這在一個以往一向奉行高度計劃經濟的國家是難以想象的。但當北韓也跟現時中國大陸般,政治依舊共產式的獨裁統治、經濟卻實行一套比西方國家更資本化、但又缺乏應對貧富懸殊問題的政策,以致上至官僚下至平民老百姓都往錢看、走到街上或買東西都有一種不安全的感覺時,北韓對我的吸引力將愈來愈小。作者: 頹人 時間: 2011-6-1 08:06 PM
