Kim Jong Suk Lauded by All People
Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- Anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk has been praised highly as a great revolutionary and peerless patriot by all people generation after generation for her undying feats performed for the times and revolution, the country and people.

The people remember her down through generations, because she had made great exploits within a span of 32 years that others could not do even in a century.

It is her greatest exploit that she established the tradition of defending the leader with very lives and gave birth to the Bright Star of Mt. Paektu and brought him up to carry forward the revolutionary cause of Juche.

Uncountable are her feats. She displayed indomitable heroic stamina and rendered distinguished military services in the battles with the Japanese imperialists and strengthened the ideological and purposeful unity of the revolutionary ranks through experienced political activities and energetic underground work.

In order to hand down her achievements to the posterity, the Korean people and the world progressives named units and organizations after her and conferred orders, medals and honorary titles on her with boundless reverence for her.

Lots of units across the country were termed after her august name including Kim Jong Suk County, Kim Jong Suk Teacher Training College, Kim Jong Suk Rest Home and Kim Jong Suk Pyongyang Silk Mill.

A kindergarten in Suhbaatar District, Ulan Bator City of Mongolia was named "Kim Jong Suk Kindergarten" in Juche 88 (1999). Recent years witnessed that many organizations and units in various countries have been given her name one after another, including the Peruvian Association for the Study of Revolutionary Activities of Comrade Kim Jong Suk and the Russian Women's Union in the Title of Kim Jong Suk.

The Korean people awarded the title of Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to her in September of Juche 61 (1972).

The "Contribution to Victory" Organizing Committee of the International Commemoration Movement of Russia presented to her a social order "Contribution to the Victory", the National Association of Writers and Artists of Peru a great medal "Sun of the National Association of Writers and Artists of Peru" and the League of Experts for Egyptian Cultural and International Civilization Dialogue a prize and a certificate praising her exploits. And Ecuador, Mongolia, France and other countries conferred on her orders, medals and certificates of honorary title.

The Tumbes City Council of Peru, beyond its usage of awarding certificates of honorary citizenship only to world prominent state leaders and famous figures, newly instituted a world honorary citizenship certificate to confer on her on the occasion of her 80th birth anniversary.

On the occasion of her birth anniversary every year various countries organized preparatory committees, mass media widely introduced her life and revolutionary achievements and India, Syria and other countries created lots of memorial books, words of songs and others.

Kim Jong Suk is alive in the minds of the Korean people and humankind, enjoying their reverence.
