In the article titled "Korean family's tale of emotional reunion", BBC journalist, John Sudworth reports Lee Kyong Hee's family reunion experience. Kyong Hee lives in South Korea and she hadn't seen her sister for sixty years as her sister lives in North Korea, having been separated during the Korean War. Thanks to the two government’s program of family reunions settled since 2000, she was allowed to see and speak to her sister for a while. Before the meeting, she and her family were very excited but didn't think of possible drawbacks of the reunion at all. Her sister explained how she came to North Korea and how her life had been since she got separated from her family. Even if they were separated from each other, she kept on thinking about her family. She always felt that something was missing in her life even when she got her own family in North Korea. She always felt alone. The reunion was very emotional. Lee Kyong Hee spent in total eleven hours with her sister, quite a short time compared to all the time they missed. According Lee Kyong Hee, this family reunion is, on the one hand, good for the family because they are allowed to see each other but on the other hand it is definitely not enough as after the meeting, people have to go back to the reality of not having any news from the missing member. This program, she says, should include an authorization to keep in touch with the separated family member. Governments should be more concerned to human problems than political issues.Kyong Hee also recommends that the two Korea take the example of the Germany in getting along before the reunification of Germany. South Korea should try to do its best to help North Korea.
