脫北女李晛瑞冒死揭露極權黑幕與逃亡血淚史！ 被歐普拉譽為「最受注目的TED演講」網路瀏覽人次已超過八百萬！ 全球唯一中文版   出生時，我叫做金智惠；母親改嫁時，改名為朴敏英；為了隱藏身分，我又變成蔡美蘭、張順香，蔡尹希、朴順子。 李晛瑞，是我擁有的第七個、希望也是最後一個名字…… 厄運與危險咬著不放，稍微鬆懈立刻大難臨頭！這樣的日子，我過了4000多個……   我出生在北韓惠山市，和中國隔著一條鴨綠江。由於父母都擁有絕佳的「出身成分」，因此我們家過得算是很優渥。 從小，我深信祖國是最偉大的！但漸漸地，越來越多事件打擊這根深柢固的想法，並讓我對隔江的中國充滿好奇心──那裡似乎不像是學校所說的「地獄」。 1997年，即將18歲的我決定偷渡去中國見識一下，但作夢也沒想到從此沒了回頭路，我竟變成了背叛祖國的脫北者…… 日子開始充滿恐懼與焦慮，為了不被檢舉，我戴上厚厚的面具撒謊、防備周圍所有人；為了生存，我和黑幫、非法仲介打交道，甚至被囚禁，還差點被強暴。開始適應自由後，新的難題是要把家人也接出來，於是另一次驚心動魄的大逃亡之旅，再度讓我陷入夢魘。 但我拒絕放棄，靠著勇氣、毅力與貴人們的愛，終於撐過來了。現在，請聽我大聲告訴每一個你，關於北韓的真面目、一路走來的心酸與煎熬，希望大家都能更關注此議題，並讓脫北者知道：世界上還有許多人的信念跟他們同在！ 李晛瑞TED大會演講影片連結...
