The outpouring of grief in North Korea after the passing of Kim Jong-il has been fervent and widespread. So are the people sincerely feeling this loss or are they behaving as they think they should?

金正日去世后北韩民众所流露的悲伤的景象 随处可见 广为传扬。 哪么他们是真情流露啊 还是 他们觉得他们得这么做？
The North Korean nation took its cue from the state television presenter who was dressed in black and barely able to hold back the tears.

There followed tears, wailing and fists beaten against the pavement, but on a huge scale. 

Men and women have been swept along on a wave of uncontrollable hysteria. "How could he leave us?" said one woman as she wiped away the tears.

The scenes were reminiscent of the mourning that followed the death of Kim Jong-il's father, Kim Il-sung, in 1994. So how genuine is the grief?

It's very difficult to know, says Anthony Daniels, a psychiatrist and writer whose pen name is Theodore Dalrymple. He visited North Korea in 1989 as a member of the British delegation to the International Festival of Youth and Students.

西方人不懂东方人的情感方式。尤其是朝鲜这种还没有改革开放全盘欧化的地方。
当然这种感情在其他改革欧化过的地方是基本没有了。

外人（包括我们自己）总是自以为是的看待朝鲜，
总以为人家个个都是给洗脑洗得厉害二百五。

就像我们用现在的眼光看待文革一样

我觉得是真情流露吧，就像当年毛主席去世一样~

在我们看来是不能理解，也许当年毛主席走的时候国人也差不多这幅场景，

我素质低，我能理解中国人为什么哭中国的领导人，比如我看周恩来电影的时候就哭了，看焦裕禄的时候也哭了，但是。。我不能理解朝鲜人。。。。

看见朝鲜的这一幕 不仅想到了十里长街、、、如今的人又有多少人能理解那种心情
