U-Hyeonseo Lee uthetha ngeqonga kwiNgqungquthela yabasetyhini ye-Forbes ye-2018 ngoJuni 19, 2018 kwisiXeko saseNew York.Ifoto nguNicholas Hunt / Getty Izithombe Intlanganiso eyimbali phakathi kuka-Mongameli uDonald Trump kunye nenkokheli yase-North Korea u-Kim Jong-un ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, nangona bengafikanga naziphi na iziphumo ezithile, yabangela ukuba uninzi losasazo lwasentshona lucinge ukuba umhlaba unokuba linyathelo elinye ukusondela ekugqibezeleni inyukliya eNyakatho Korea. Kodwa abantu abaqhelene ngakumbi nosapho olulawulayo lwaseNyakatho Korea abanathemba.
U-Hyeonseo Lee, umphambukeli wase North Korea owabaleka kweli lizwe kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo waze watshata nendoda yase Melika, wayengazange wacinga ukuba umongameli wase-United States angadibana nenkokeli yelizwe lakhe. Okwangoku eyona nto ingacingekiyo yenze imbali, yonke loo nto isaziva ingenanyani.
Ihlabathi linenkohliso malunga noKim Jong-un ngoku, utshilo uLee kwiForbes Women's Summit eNew York ngoLwesibini. Akukho namnye kuthi [okhe waphila eMantla Korea] okholelwa ukuba uya kuzishiya izixhobo zenyukliya, nangona ndinqwenela ukuba athethe into ayithethileyo kuba abantu baseNyakatho Korea bayayidinga.
Kodwa wabona umnqweno wale ntlanganiso yokomfuziselo ukuba yenzeke macala omabini.
Xa uMongameli uTrump wayirhoxisa ngesiquphe intlanganiso phakathi kuthethathethwano, ndazi kwangoko ukuba uzakutshintsha ingqondo kwaye intlanganiso izakwenzeka ekugqibeleni, uLee uxelele uMbonisi. Kwakuyinto yam nje yemvelo. Ndisazi ukuba bobabini uTrump noKim Jong-un bayayidinga loo ntlanganiso, kwaye uTrump wayelunge ngokutyhala umntu kwisivumelwano.
U-Lee wayengomnye wabantu abasibhozo abasindileyo baseNyakatho Korea abadibana noMongameli uTrump ngoFebruwari e-White House, apho wenza khona isindululo esithile kuTrump.
Ukuhlangana kwam noMongameli uTrump, ndawatsibela onke amabali am ndaza ndamcela into enye: ukunceda abo baphambukayo baseNyakatho Korea befihlile kwaye bebandezeleka e-China bafumane inkululeko, utshilo.
Eso sicelo sibophelela kumava akhe okusinda.
U-Lee wakhulela kufutshane nomda wase-North Korea-China kunye nosapho oluhle. Utata wakhe wayeligosa lomkhosi, kunye nomama wakhe elilungu eliphezulu lenkampani karhulumente. U-Lee uthe akayazi indlela abahlupheka ngayo abantu base North Korea njengoko wayekhula. Kodwa, eneminyaka eli-17 ubudala, umbono wokushiya ilizwe wavela emva kokuba uLee efumene umbono wokuqala welizwe lasimahla kumabonwakude waseTshayina. (Abahlali kufutshane nomda wase-North Korea-China ngamanye amaxesha bafumana imiqondiso ye-TV evela e-China.)
Yayingumabonwakude nje oqhelekileyo — iindaba kunye neentengiso. Kodwa andizange ndiyibone into enje ngaphambili. Ndothuswa kukuba ibhotile yamanzi ingavela kumabonakude [kwintengiso], waqhula. EMantla Korea, nomntu oqhelekileyo akafane abonwe kwiTV. Yayiyinkqubo yepropaganda ngalo lonke ixesha.
Ngombulelo kwimpembelelo yosapho lwakhe emkhosini, u-Lee wakwazi ukuwela umda waya e-China phantsi kohlobo oluthile lokhuseleko. Kodwa eyona ngxaki yayisele iqalile. Ngenxa yesivumelwano phakathi kwe China neNyakatho Korea, amapolisa ase-China azakubamba ababaleki base North Korea njengezaphuli-mthetho zopolitiko bababuyisele e-North Korea.
Kwimemori yakhe, Intombazana enamagama asixhenxe: Ibali leMpazamo waseKorea yaseNyakatho ,U-Lee ubalise amabali oyikekayo okuphuncuka koonongogo e-China, ukuxhwilwa yimigulukudu yalapha kunye nokuzenza isithulu ukunqanda ukubuzwa imibuzo ngamapolisa ase-China ngexesha lohambo lwebhasi ukusuka e-China ukuya eMzantsi Korea.
Amabali okubaleka aseNyakatho Korea ahlala evakaliswa ngovelwano olomeleleyo kwihlabathi lasentshona, kodwa kukho icala elimnyama kuyo. Njengabaphambukeli abaninzi abathethileyo malunga namava abo kwimithombo yeendaba, abagxeki baye wabuza ubunyani amanye ala mabali. Abaphembeleli abaphezulu-abaphembeleli-abasebenza njengama-Lee kugxekwa ngabathiyileyo Ukuthengisa amabali abo ukuze baqwalaselwe.
Ebuzwa malunga neengcinga zakhe kwezi mpikiswano, uLee wafinga kancinci.
Ndiyayicaphukela, inene, utshilo. Ndicinga ukuba kufanele sigxile kumfanekiso omkhulu apha. Wonke umntu uyazi ulawulo lwaseNyakatho Korea. Kungenxa yokuba bambalwa abantu abenza amabali abo ayitshintshi inyani yokuba izigidi zabantu ziyahlupheka eMantla Korea.
