3 quotes from A River in Darkness

"In North Korea, it is not the sun that rises each day but the state that tells you how to live that day."
"Survival is not just about food; it's about maintaining your humanity in the face of inhumanity."
"Freedom is a word I learned only in my dreams, while reality was a prison built from fear and oppression."

Author : Masaji Ishikawa

Masaji Ishikawa is a Japanese author and former resident of North Korea, whose harrowing personal experiences are chronicled in his memoir "A River in Darkness." Born in 1947 in Japan, he moved to North Korea with his family in the late 1960s as part of a government-led resettlement program, initially filled with hope for a better life. However, his time in North Korea became a nightmare, marked by oppression, harsh living conditions, and the pervasive fear of the regime. Ishikawa's gripping narrative not only exposes the grim realities of life in a totalitarian state but also offers a poignant reflection on identity, survival, and the longing for freedom, making him an important voice in contemporary literature and a critical witness to the human cost of political ideology.
