@psihozefir3 жыл бұрын
@@willpugh-calotte2199 there is also another lesson to be learnt from our experience. Ceausescu was followed by one of his friends, Ion Iliescu, that betrayed him to grab the power. He ruled for 8 years with declaring that we will implement "an original democracy". Even though the successor of the Communist Party was very high in the prefferences of voters (don't ask why), we started having other political parties and eventually one of them gave us a good president, but in Parliment the successor party almost always had majority (28 out of 30 years, until last year in November). At that time, Ceausescu and USSR were not in the best relations, with Ceausescu hating the new USSR glasnost and perestroyka policies. Iliescu went to the USSR embassy to request troups to invade Romania, to annex it to USSR (he wanted to make a sort of EU out of USSR). However, he was refused by Gorbachev (the then president of the USSR, who wanted to put USSR on a way to democracy and give the soviet republics the option to be independent, if they so wish). This refusal was Romania's blind luck. The same should happen with North Korea and China. Until China supports the Kims nothing good will happen to North Korea, even if Kim Jong Un dies. He will be replaced by some other China puppet ruler. Also, China becoming the most powerful economy of the World does not help North Korea in any way. This is my view on this situation.

How did they get the electricity for the concert? By not supplying it to the everyday people!
You got to hand it to the North Koreans, they know how to "put on a good show"! Both on stage and off.

My heart goes out to the innocent and kindhearted people there. Their artistic and performing arts training must be something they are very proud of. I believe that music has a healing effect. Classical music is good for the mind. I hope they have some peace with that.

Kim lives in 1950 and 2021 at the same time, the rest of North korean still lives between 1950-70 erra they are not allowed to move forward. Very upsetting!

As horrible as their government is and as disheartening as the circumstances are surrounding them having to perform, they sound beautiful. The voices are incredible and the musicians are outstanding. I pray one day soon they will be free to share their talents with the world and not confined in this cage. May they one day not be forced to perform for survival.

How do you get this information? I thought that N.K. was so locked down. I like seeing different countries don't get me wrong, but I don't understand, how you're able to achieve all of this material.

You can also watch North Korean TV via livestreams, like KCNA. I watch their TV frequently and there´s almost not a single day their propaganda doesn´t make me angry.

I have to admit, the talent displayed is remarkable. But it's so sad that their talent was created as the result of hard discipline and fear of their livelyhood in the regime. Thank you Yeonmi for sharing this as well as your knowledge.
