Devastated

I was devastated by what the Chinese government was doing to captured run aways, knowing that they would be beaten, raped, and executed, but still sending them back to North Korea to face the punishment. What person with moral standings would let another human being face such a horrendous future? I can still remember the look on the girl's face - distressed and desperate. She was crying while saying, I only want to go to South Korea so I can be free. Watching that, tears sprung into my eyes and I could feel their pain and frustration and hopelessness. I felt like no one was doing anything to help them and I was just so frustrated!When the man said that after 10 years when North Korea is no longer a closed off country, we will go in there and find millions of dead bodies and we will ask ourselves " Why didn't we do anything?" And while he said that, I sensed the truth in his words. Sure, we are balming the government for not doing anything to help North Koreans, but it's our responsibility too. What they do now will only last for one lifetime, barely anytime to solve this crisis. If us students want a change, we have to take the reigns because we will be the ones who are going to decide what happens in the future.
