Korean People Urged to Display Same Fighting Spirit as Done in Period of Great Chollima Surge
Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- All the people should live and struggle in the same fighting spirit as displayed in the period of the great Chollima surge. Herein lies a sure guarantee for achieving a shining victory in the drive for building a great prosperous and powerful nation, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a signed article.

The new great revolutionary surge is being vigorously effected throughout the country and the 150-day campaign is brisk on all fronts of the socialist construction. Under this situation the Workers' Party of Korea is requesting all the people to live and work in the same spirit as displayed in the period of the great Chollima surge, the article says, and goes on:

The spirit of absolutely and unconditionally carrying out the party's line and policy, the ardent patriotic zeal to glorify the country as a dignified and prosperous socialist country and the indomitable fighting spirit to bravely overcome whatever difficulties by one's own efforts highly displayed in the said period serve as a good example to be followed by the people who are out in the general advance for the ultimate victory of the drive for building a thriving nation.

The noble spirit of regarding the party's line and policy as one's life and soul and the do-or-die spirit of unhesitatingly going through thick and thin to carry out the tasks given to them by the party find a vivid manifestation in the ranks of the people making a general advance.

The fighting spirit displayed in the period of the great Chollima surge serves as a precious example encouraging all the people to highly display the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance in the present general advance and a powerful engine that helps effect vigorous collective innovations throughout the country.

It is strong national self-esteem and unshakable will of the Korean people to eternally glorify the history of building a rich and powerful country, a history that started and has made a steady advance thanks to the spirit of self-reliance, with the might of the same spirit.

There are no difficulties insurmountable and no fortresses unconquerable because all the people live and struggle in the same spirit as displayed in the period of the great Chollima surge, cherishing the spirit of self-reliance as a treasured sword for winning all victories.

It is thanks to the collective innovation drive that the single-minded unity of our revolutionary ranks has remarkably grown strong and popular heroism become a powerful engine dynamically propelling the era and a source of world-startling miracles and feats.

All the people are displaying the spirit of self-reliance by their concerted efforts and scaling the high eminence of the modernization of the national economy through a mass technical innovation drive. This is the true picture of the DPRK replete with the fighting spirit displayed in the period of the great Chollima surge.
