Reunions end with joy, grief

Aging participants,many in their 70s or older, believe it's the last chance to see loved ones

A 98-year-old man from the Republic of Korea took off his black coat and muffler and gave them to his coughing son from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Monday as they parted - likely never to meet again - after a brief reunion, their first since war tore them apart more than 60 years ago.

"Father, please live to 130. I'll live to 100," Ri Dong-wuk, 70, said as he bid farewell to his father, Lee Seok-ju, at the DPRK's Mount Kumgang resort.
