Shin Tong-hyuk is one of them.Shin was born in Kaechon, a labor camp for political prisoners and their descendants, also known as Camp 14, and knew nothing of civilized life. The camp guards raised him to be a snitch, he perceived his own mother as a rival in the fight for food, he witnessed the execution of his family - and considered all this to be the norm ... until he escaped.
