Kim Jong Un Praises Agricultural Worker for His Self-Sacrificing Spirit
Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- The dear respected Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people, on Feb. 23 sent an autograph as regards the deed of Ri Chang Son, head of a sub-workteam of the Ohyon Cooperative Farm, Yonan County, South Hwanghae Province.

To unhesitatingly dedicate even one's life to the collective and comrades is a beautiful deed which can be displayed only by people whom President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il trained, the autograph said.

Ri's self-sacrificing spirit and the heroic end of his life will be always remembered by the Korean people as the spirit of the times, it noted.

Ri, who had worked at the farm with sincerity for nearly 20 years, died after saving three members of the farm at a moment when a huge mass of frozen earth was falling down while working with members of the sub-workteam in order to secure earth for sowing seed rice in cold-bed frames on Feb. 20.

Kim Jong Un sent an autograph, making Ri's noble self-sacrificing spirit and heroic end of his life shine forever.
