null Condemned to death twice for spying Seo Ok-Ryol spent three decades in prison, most of it in solitary confinement. Now aged 90, the only thing he wants to do before he dies is go home -- to North Korea. Born in the South, where he still has relatives, then a soldier and spy for the North - where he left a wife and two children - Seo epitomises the enduring divisions of the peninsula, and the way Koreans have been buffeted by the forces of history and politics.
