Establishment of Great Tradition of Devotedly Defending Leader

   Pyongyang, December 21 (KCNA) -- The Korean people extol anti-Japanese woman hero Kim Jong Suk as a legendary general of lifeguard.
    This designation implies her great feat in the establishment of the glorious tradition of defending the leader of the revolution at the cost of life, which is the pride and legacy of the Korean revolution.
    She participated in the sacred war against Japanese imperialism in her early age. Convinced that the implementation of the Juche-oriented line of the Korean revolution advanced by President Kim Il Sung was precisely the way for the resurrection of the nation, she hardened her mind to dedicate her youth and life to the struggle for protecting the leader of the revolution with her very life.
    During the grim days of the anti-Japanese war, she, with a thorough-going thought that any slightest mistake should not be permitted in guarding the President, frustrated at every step the enemy's wicked scheme to hurt the revolutionary headquarters at camping sites and on march.
    She guarded the safety of the President with her body on the fierce battlefields including the battles at the entrance to Dashahe, Fusong County Seat and Hongqihe.
    She also regarded supporting the revolutionary idea of the President as the loftiest and honorable duty of the soldiers.
    She resolutely struggled against the renegades of the revolution who were frightened by the enemy's bluff in the period of the most difficult trial during the anti-Japanese armed struggle and thus defended the purity of the revolutionary ideas of the President.
    She also set a brilliant example in thoroughly carrying out the revolutionary line and operational plan of the President.
    She was often assigned important duties of political work from the President and conducted activities for awakening and organizing masses in vast areas and the homeland, making a special contribution to expanding the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland, promoting the preparatory work for founding the Party and to maturing the all-people resistance.
    When she was given a task to make 600 suits of military uniform in a month, she, together with several sewing members, fulfilled the task with poor sewing tools only in 20 days. Like this, she devotedly carried out the orders given by the President, thus becoming the brilliant paragon to be followed by the Korean people.
    She invariably paid special attention to protecting the safety of the President as a "bodyguard" in the years of building a new country and exerted her heart and soul to accomplish his nation-building line.
    Indeed, the noble feat performed by Kim Jong Suk to protect the fortune of the Korean people who were blessed with the illustrious leader President Kim Il Sung peerless in the 5,000-year-long history of the nation by devotedly defending him will shine for ever in the history of the fatherland.


Whole Life of Kim Jong Suk Devoted to Comrades and Revolution

   Pyongyang, December 21 (KCNA) -- The Korean people are recollecting with deep emotion the noble life of the anti- Japanese woman hero Kim Jong Suk with the approach of the 90th birth anniversary of the woman general of Mt. Paektu whose life was run through with revolutionary comradeship.
     Her philosophy of life was that it was happy to have other's affection, but still happier was to give it to others.
     She had rare character and human touch. She intensely loved people and was ready to jump into water and fire, if it was for comrades.
     Cherishing it as her steadfast faith that her happiness and honor lay in devotedly defending President Kim Il Sung, she became a shield in guarding him in many battles such as the Fusong County Seat battle and the battle at the entrance to Dashahe.
     Deeply concerned for the health of the President, she, shivering with cold in winter, dried his wet clothes with the warmth of her body. And she secured silk cotton and made a padded overcoat and knitted a waistband and woolen socks for him at odd moments.
     In his reminiscences "With the Century" he recollects that she protected him from bullets, snow and rain, and chill with her own body.
     In the days of an arduous march, she mended torn clothes of comrades all night beside a campfire. When a battle was raging in Shuangshanzi in April Juche 27 (1938), she shared out food to the fighters by plunging into the battlefield after climbing a steep cliff, not to let them skip the meal.
     When comrades-in arms had to eat potatoes only for several days, with rice running out in the unit, she, taking it close to heart, ground potatoes and made pancakes with them and made potato cakes, stuffing them with edible herbs which she had collected. All the fighters ate them deliciously.
     Everything she did in the flames of the anti-Japanese struggle was not for herself, but for the President and for the comrades and the revolution.

    The Songun politics serves as an ever-victorious banner for independent reunification as it paves a wide avenue for achieving the reunification of the country, the greatest desire and supreme task of the Korean nation, and a banner of hope because it fully guarantees national prosperity, the article notes, and goes on:
    The Songun politics represents a most patriotic option for rejecting outside forces and achieving independent reunification by the concerted efforts of our nation because it has helped foil the foreign forces' moves for aggression and war and defend the cause of national reunification with the might of the matchless and invincible army and placed the national dignity and honor on the highest level.
