“You Are Still Alive”

On the second day of the twelfth set of reunions of South-North separated families yesterday, family members were reunited at Haegeum River Hotel in Onjeong-ni, Mt. Geumgang. Many wept from being parted for so long.

So Hee-young (age 76, in the middle) from the North, and her sister, So Ok-young (age 61, on the left) from the South, threw themselves into each other’s arms and sobbed.
