Starting August 20th North and South Koreans start reuniting with family members. In a several day event held at Diamond Mountain resort in North Korea they will be allowed to speak with and embrace long absent family members. Most of the Southern particiapants are older, meeting with relatives they haven’t seen since the war. Lee Soo-nam, 76, will meet with his brother this week. Lee Soo-nam last saw his brother, now 86 with a wife and 50 year old son, when Lee was eight and his brother was 18, running from North Korean soldiers at the begining of the war. Lee thought him dead, and he is so happy his brother is alive. Many particapants believe this might be the last time they see relatives before they die.
