Wow! Great article. It shows how brutal and evil communism is. The heavy, forced indoctrination that splits families apart is hard to imagine. But at the end, your piece also reminds us that lesser political differences, like Republican vs. Democrat, shouldn't break family ties. People have different ways of thinking that we usually can't change. Often we just have to acknowledge that and move on.

Appreciate your comments. Yes, as someone who reads, writes, and thinks about politics often, these two stories are timely reminder to myself too. Love and family are always way more important than politics.
