Cho Eun-Hee fled from North Korea to South Korea with her family in 1997 and Cho Eun-Hae defected in 2007. They were members of the Pyongyang Unification Art Troupe in South Korea. Photo: CFP A North Korean defector who recently delivered a speech in Beijing said she was "shocked" about receiving online "attacks from thousands of local Chinese people." Experts said Chinese people have mixed feeling about such defectors, with many feeling defensive about their criticism of China's policies toward North Korea but others eager to help them. Visit with a purpose Hyeonseo Lee, born in Hyesan, North Korea in either 1981 or 1982, attended an event held as part of the Beijing Bookworm Literary Festival on March 26 and 27, seven years after she left China [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/carl-lawson-jersey/]Carl Lawson Womens Jersey[/url] , to promote her memoir The Girl with Seven Names, which was published in August 2015 in Taiwan. "It took me six months to decide whether I should go back to China because it is not easy for a North Korean defector to talk about North Korea and [related] policies in China in public," Lee told the Global Times in an exclusive interview. Before visiting China, the South Korean National Intelligence Service asked Lee not to talk about the Chinese government and to avoid sensitive topics, according to Lee. "But without those I don't know what is the purpose of my visit. I just want to tell the local people the truth and change their minds," Lee said. Lee, who fled from North Korea in 1997 [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/jordan-willis-jersey/]Jordan Willis Womens Jersey[/url] , hid in China for 10 years until managing to get to South Korea in January 2008. In February 2013, Lee shared her experiences at a TED conference in the US, and the video went viral on the Internet, racking up millions of views. The event in Beijing turned out to be a success, with 70 percent of the audience made up of foreigners in China, Lee said. Hiding in China However, Lee said that she has received many "attacks" on her Sina Weibo account [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/nick-vigil-jersey/]Nick Vigil Womens Jersey[/url] , which was shocking for her as so many "Chinese people believe that North Korean defectors are bad or our stories are exaggerated." According to Lee, there are 300,000 North Korean defectors living in China, which caused Chinese netizens to complain that the South Korean government does not take the defectors to their country. "Some North Korean defectors commit robbery and murder at border areas, and why doesn't the Republic of Korea just take the defectors away," Sina Weibo user "Zhangxin Bushi Dashu" commented under Lee's post on her trip to China. As a reply, Lee noted that the defectors are not simply living in China [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/joe-mixon-jersey/]Joe Mixon Womens Jersey[/url] , they are "hiding" in China. "North Korean defectors don't want to hide in China, but they have no money, don't know how to go there [South Korea] ... only 1 percent of them make it to South Korea," Lee told the Global Times. China is the only path to escape from North Korea, said Jin Qiangyi, director of the Asia Research Center, China's Yanbian University. Illegal crossing China officially defines the North Korean defectors as "individuals who illegally cross the border [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/john-ross-jersey/]John Ross Womens Jersey[/url] ," said Lü Chao, head of the North Korea-South Korea study center of the Liaoning Provincial Academy of Social Sciences. China doesn't consider North Korean defectors to be refugees, so according to an agreement between China and North Korea, if defectors are discovered in China they will be repatriated, Jin told the Global Times. Meanwhile, some netziens wonder how Lee could hide for so many years in China without being caught. "My book is named The Girl with Seven Names because I was changing identities to avoid being caught in China," Lee told the Global Times. "I learned Chinese for three years [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/dre-kirkpatrick-jersey/]Dre Kirkpatrick Womens Jersey[/url] , because I know I have to use the language to protect me and my family," Lee said. "Some North Korean defectors carry poison all the time in case they are caught," Lee said. Besides, 70 to 80 percent of defectors are female, as they don't speak Chinese some of them were sold to Chinese farmers as wives or traded as sex slaves by the ones who helped them escape from North Korea, Lee added. Grateful for help Chinese people have a mixed feeling towards the North Korean defectors, according to analysts. "I hate defectors because they criticize China with no reason [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/vontaze-burfict-jersey/]Vontaze Burfict Womens Jersey[/url] ," Sina Weibo user "Feng Yu Dian" wrote. "Your so called facts are actually putting bad names on China," wrote user "Youzhigui Wobuzhihui Yujianni." Lee said it was not fair to say she only criticizes China because in her book, she wrote about "the kind Chinese people that help defectors leave North Korea." "There are good people and bad ones, and I am grateful and thankful for these Chinese people who helped us escape from North Korea," Lee said. Moreover, Lee said after the Beijing event, many Chinese people came to show their support [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/carlos-dunlap-jersey/]Carlos Dunlap Womens Jersey[/url] , which gave her courage. "Some told me the attacks do not represent all Chinese citizens' opinions," said Lee. Lee said that people who live in the border areas help North Korea defectors who come across the Yalu river at night and gave them food. Lee recalled that there was an elderly woman who gave 100 yuan ($15.47) to a girl and told her to leave as soon as possible, adding that "even if I want to protect you, it's out of my ability. Take this money, protect yourself from being caught. "I was moved by these stories," said Lee. On one hand, some people [url=http://www.cheapjerseysbengals.com/tyler-eifert-jersey/]Tyler Eifert Womens Jersey[/url] , especially those who live near the border, think the defectors are dangerous, Lü said. On the other hand, the defectors provide cheap labor to local farms and factories. Around 300,000 North K .
