CNN News:美国公民裴俊浩讲述在朝鲜劳改营里的生活

AZUZ: Seven hundred and thirty-five days in North Korea was long enough. That's a quote from U.S. citizen Kenneth Bae, who just gave his first interview since he was released from a North Korean prison in 2014.
It's not known exactly why Bae was arrested in 2012. He was a tour operator in North Korea. He was charged with hostile acts. Two years went by before the U.S. director of national intelligence carried a letter from President Obama addressed to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
U.S. officials say that might have been the high level that North Korea wanted from the U.S. Shortly afterward, Bae was released. He hasn't forgotten his ordeal or what got him through it.
KENNETH BAE, FORMER NORTH KOREAN POLITICAL PRISONER: I was the first American ever sent to a labor camp in North Korea and I have to work from 8:00 in the morning until 6:00 at night six days a week. Working on the field, doing farming, labor, work on carrying a rock and shoveling coal.
And all those things that was physically very demanding and was very difficult, especially I have a back problems and different issues that I have before even imprisonment.
But along the way, that I found myself adjusting the life in those Korean prison, just depending upon God and just solely pretty much living day to day and just live one day at a time.

CHRIS CUOMO, cnn ANCHOR: Did they tell you you're not going home? You're going to be here forever? What kind of things would they say to you in the prison?
BAE: Well, there was a one prosecutor assigned to my case for the last year of my imprisonment. He came to me almost every week and say, no one remember you. You have been forgotten by people, your government, you're not going home anytime soon, you'll be here for 15 years. You'll be 60 before you go home.
CUOMO: What would that do to your head?
BAE: Obviously, it was very difficult to take it in. But I was holding on to the promise that it was from — when I was praying from God that, you know, he will be my rescuer and the U.S. government would do everything possible that bring me home.
So, I was holding on to the promise.
