Instead Ee Chang Woo became my hero (whether I thought he was or not). My freedom from totalitarianism started a few decades after the Korean War. Heh.

There's a fictional novel "The Great Inquisitor".
I only remember this quote:

"They took their freedom which they so valiantly fought to achieve, and unquestioningly laid it at my feet."

That's how people are.

Oh, and btw: I know enough people in the communist VN who don't bow down to Ho Chi Minh (even though it costs them the opportunity to study at the state universities or to work in the government).

You can be quite free even in a country which is oppressed by a personality cult.
