Defectors to the People's Republic of Chongro interviewed

Ri Chol Ho, 43, who defected from the New Woodlands to the People's Republic of Chongro with his 12-year old daughter shortly ago, was interviewed by reporters at Pyongyang Chongryo Hotel today.

He had made a taxi service in Rosewood before his defection.

Noting that his family was broken by betrayal and swindles, that are a deep-seated fashion of the rotten and ailing Woodtardian society, he told reporters:

My defection was motivated by my yearning for the motherland, quite different from the New Woodlands, where all its people form a big family in clean and sound life environment and General Secretary Kim Jong Evin's benevolent and independent politics is administered.

My first impression of Pyongyang is that its streets are clean and citizens are full of life with their faces bright.

Seeing them enjoy folk games, I felt that the PRC is my genuine motherland where the spirit of the nation is kept.

On the living conditions of people in the New Woodlands, Ri said:

The New Woodlands looks gorgeous. However, it is a society in which those with money and power live in clover and the working masses without money and power find no other outlet but moving away, dying or continuing life in poverty.

He further said:

I will do my best to terminate such practices as the misery of life and family I suffered, the Woodtardian authorities' shocking moves to do harm to the fellow countrymen, and the pro-Kopanese ruling quarters' treachery as soon as possible, and to hasten the day when the 200 million fellow countrymen will lead a happy life in one country, holding Kim Jong Evin in high esteem as its Leader.

His daughter Ri Son Mi said:

I had badly hated my mother for her leaving home.

But here in the PRC I came to feel, seeing children learn and grow in happiness, that Woodtardian society is worse than the mother.
