I don't know about weird, but I certainly hope it's painful.

#2  After the war ended, Mr An was regarded with suspicion by the communist authorities and was sent to a re-education camp. He was denied permission to visit the US.

Hoped he liked re-education. He certainly worked hard for it.

#1  At the same time he worked for British news agency Reuters and Time magazine. It was a huge surprise to his former colleagues when, in the 1980s, he announced his true allegiance.

No surprise to those of us who have read Time and Rooters reports over the years. Enjoy hell you communist bastard.
