A Miraculous Escape and a Family Legacy

Your Grandma, Gemma, escaped from North Korea, December 1950 at a negative fifteen degrees Fahrenheit from Hung Nam port, North Korea, boarding the Meredith Victory, an American freighter. For four days and four nights, no foods, water were available and no access to bathrooms. A miracle took place. God watched over the ship and listened to the prayers of its people. The Meredith Victory and its passengers completed a long voyage without any dangerous storms. The ship arrived safely in South Korean port on Christmas day. Among the refugees, there was an eleven-year-old girl, who is your grandma, Gemma. Hence Chung’s family tree started to grow.
