Forerunners Living Worthy Life
Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- A good many heroes of the time and persons of distinguished services in the Songun era are emerging in the new century in the DPRK as in the 70s, 80s and 90s of the last century.

Though they are engaged in different realms, some in factories and others in agriculture, scientific researches, health care or education, they are all living a worthy life without coming into repute, regarding what the Party and the leader want and intend as the goal and target of their life.

Jang Tu Il, a designer respected as a talented technician at the Chollima Steel Complex, has dedicated all his wisdom and zeal to the technical updating of steel production for 32 years, making a great contribution to the completion of the Korean-style UHP electric arc furnace last year.

Ju Pok Sun, manager of the Manpho Spinning Mill, devotedly defended the Party, the leader and socialism and boldly came up against difficulties, not remaining crestfallen or hibernating in the days of "Arduous March" and the forced march. Thus she face-lifted the mill inside and outside, so that it might preserve the very nature of socialism and taste of the Songun era. Meticulously planning the management of the mill, she broadly introduced new techniques and ran the mill on the basis of profitability to render an enormous profit to the country.

Song Sun Ae, agitator of the Hero Excavator No.7 Workteam at the Ryongyang Mine, has greatly inspired the members to display mass heroism and collectivism, thus helping the workteam top the annual target every year over the last ten odd years since she left Pyongyang where she was born and settled down there.

Among the true forerunners of the time are An Jong Min who heralded an innovation in ore production, Kim Sa Myong who played a big role in building a modern pilot plant and updating production facilities of a machine factory in Korean style and Kim Kyong Su who devoted himself to refurbishing the branch school to compare favorably with the best ones and raising all the schoolchildren into reliable pillars of the country.

The number of the forerunners and persons of distinguished services are increasing day by day in the country under the warm care of General Secretary Kim Jong Il who set store by even a small merit of workers, peasants and intellectuals and let it known widely.
