Slogan Showcase Patriotic Will of Kim Jong Suk
Pyongyang, September 20 (KCNA) -- There are revolutionary slogans written on barked trees by anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters and people in the area of Mt. Paektu in Ryanggang Province, the northern part of Korea.

Among them are slogans written by anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk.

President Kim Il Sung, leading a main unit of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army, advanced into the Mt. Paektu area in September Juche 25 (1936) to expand the anti-Japanese armed struggle into the homeland.

Belonging to the main unit, Kim Jong Suk assisted the President in building a secret camp in Mt. Paektu.

In those days she wrote slogans on barked trees in and around the secret camp, informing other members of the unit of the importance of the secret camp.

Prompted by the President's remarks that revolutionary slogans were of significance in awakening the popular masses and encouraging them to turn out in the struggle against the Japanese imperialists, she wrote such slogans as "A general star appears above Mt. Paektu to illuminate the whole country," and "No to treatment of woman as inferior to man. Long live the women's emancipation. Let all the Korean women, ill-clad and maltreated, join in the anti-Japanese war."

Reflected in the slogans is her patriotic call for respecting the President as the sun of the nation and turning out in the struggle for national liberation under his leadership.

The slogans are still inspiring the Korean army and people in the struggle for the defence of socialism and in the building of a thriving nation.
