Section 552 Two worlds are separated
Chen Rui obtained permission from the North Korean side to enter North Korea, but there are many restrictions, live broadcast is not allowed, and North Korean personnel must be accompanied throughout the whole process in North Korea, and it is okay to take pictures, but the consent of the North Korean escort is required, as well as many restrictions.
Chen Rui left Seoul and sat on a bus to go to Panmunjom to enter North Korea.
If Chen Rui enters North Korea from the Chinese border through the Yalu River, it may be easier, but Chen Rui is traveling around the world, from the Caribbean, to Central and South America, America, Asia, Central Asia, and measuring the earth with footsteps, abandoning planes, trains and other means of transportation, most of the journey is completed by walking and hitchhiking, so Chen Rui enters North Korea from South Korea, and the only passage is Panmunjom.
Panmunjom was originally a small mountain village, but in order to facilitate the search of representatives of the Chinese army at that time, a tavern and a small grocery store were temporarily built with wooden planks near the meeting place, and the sign 'Panmunjom' written in Chinese characters was hung, hence the name Panmunjom.
On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed here, and Panmunjom became famous all over the world.
Strictly speaking, Panmunjom is the geographical name of the place, and the 'Joint Guard Area' is the official name of the place, and the North and South sides stipulate that a circular area with a radius of about 800 meters centered on the military demarcation line is jointly guarded by the "United Nations Army" and the North Korean Army, hence the name "Joint Security Area, JSA."
Although the two Koreas are still facing each other in the Panmunjom area every day, creating an atmosphere of tension between the two Koreas, in fact. JSA on the Korean side has been developed as a tourist destination for tourists to visit.
Because. The JSA on the Korean side allows visitors to visit freely. Therefore, Chen Rui did not trouble the South Korean government and government to obtain permission to enter the JSA.
Because entering JSA does not accept temporary individual tourists, if you want to visit, you must make an appointment in advance, and you can only enter with the group, so Chen Rui joined a Korean tour group, 85,000 won per person, equivalent to about 510 yuan. For this reason, Chen Rui stayed in Seoul for two more days.
After a few hours of driving on the road, the bus arrived at the JSA checkpoint, where an American GI came up and carefully checked everyone's passports according to the list in his hand, and then every tourist was asked to wear the issued JSA badge, UnitedNationsCommand, MilitaryArmistice Commission, United Nations Military Armistice Commission. It was established in July 1953 and is still valid today.
It's no joke, you know. The DPRK and the ROK signed the Korean Armistice Agreement, which is an agreement, not a treaty, and the ROK and the DPRK are still in a state of war.
Chen Rui put on this badge and came to the blue hut, ready to enter the blue hut.
In front of the Blue House, three military policemen on the South Korean side were standing with their legs crossed to the north, while on the North Korean side, there were also three soldiers, and farther away, in front of the gate of the Unification Pavilion, an officer was looking at this place with a telescope.
Chen Rui entered the blue hut.
The Blue Hut, the room where the Armistice was signed in July 1953, has a table and chairs on each side, and a high-level dialogue between the two Koreas takes place.
The other side of the blue hut is actually North Korean, but since the negotiation hut is shared by both sides, tourists can swim freely in the house, but the American GIs have repeatedly warned everyone not to try to open the door on the north side, and it is estimated that after opening the door, it will be immediately shot into a sieve from the north.
In the blue hut, you can take pictures, but only for 5 minutes.
Tourists pulled out their cameras one after another, and the shutter clicked sounded. The air was tense as if it was about to freeze
After 10 minutes.
It was exactly 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
An officer from the side of the Reunification Pavilion from the direction of the DPRK stood in front of the low cement platform representing the demarcation line between the two Koreas, and shouted, "Is Chen Rui here?" "In Chinese.
"Yes." Chen Rui said.
"I am instructed to inform you that you are allowed to enter our territory." The officer said to Chen Rui.
Chen Rui nodded, and under the incredible gaze of an American soldier and two South Korean military policemen, he crossed a section of the South Korean border, crossed a low cement platform, and entered a section of the North Korean border.
A low cement platform divides two countries with the same people, the same ancestor, the same language, and one culture into two extremes, two worlds.
Chen Rui should have been the first person to cross this cement platform since the 'tree cutting incident' in August 1976.
Chen Rui entered the territory of North Korea, and at the Reunification Pavilion, Chen Rui met with the entourage of the North Korean side who would accompany him throughout the whole process in the territory of Han Xian.
Two Chinese tour guides, the other is a political commissar.
After a brief discussion, Chen Rui had some preliminary understanding of the three of them.
Their head is definitely a commissar.
Two tour guides, one old tour guide, are very flexible in their work.
A weak and shy little girl, who had just graduated from school, was a very bookish and cute girl, who seemed reserved and cautious, for fear of not paying attention to the wrong thing, and whose mind was basically the same set of things that had been instilled in the school, and whose state of mind was closer to that of the ordinary North Koreans, but she was a second-generation soldier who lived in a 160-square-meter house in Pyongyang. (Pyongyang allocates housing from 60 to 180 square meters, and 160 square meters can be accommodated by military families with a certain status).
Obviously, the three of them didn't know Chen Rui's identity, they were just performing the tasks assigned by their superiors and entertaining foreign guests.
Chen Rui's journey in North Korea began.
The first meal in the DPRK, in the Kaesong Special City foreign-related hotel, is more hearty, there are sweet sauce twist, chicken pieces, squid fillet, cabbage pork slices, pork slices, mixed with spicy cabbage, spicy sauce and dried tofu, in the middle is Dadong River beer, mineral water and apple-flavored Korean cola.
After Chen Rui finished eating, he returned to the room, there was a TV in the room, playing 9 channels, Central 1, Central 2, Phoenix News Channel, Phoenix Chinese Channel, BBC, French Channel and a Russian Channel, as well as a North Korean Channel, but these channels are only open to foreign guests, even the room where the tour guide is located can not receive these channels, there is hot water in the room, if Chen Rui to evaluate the star rating of the best foreign-related hotel in Kaesong Special City, it is considered average, not more than the level of domestic three-star hotels.
I could only watch TV in the room, there was no internet, and there were no entertainment activities, so Chen Rui went to bed early. (To be continued.) )
