"You don't choose to be born. You just are. And your birth is your destiny, some say. I say the hell with that. And I should know. I was born not just once but five times. And five times I learned the same lesson. Sometimes in life, you have to grab your so-called destiny by the throat and wring its neck." - Masaji Ishikawa

Ishikawa is willing to share them with us in order for us to comprehend the cruel reality of communism and how lucky some people are to be born in stable and prosperous countries. A touching tale that is a testament to the undying nature of the human spirit and its drive to never give up.
Showing us how vicious a dictatorship can be, witness Ishikawa's life and how horrible it became the moment he had to move to North Korea.
