He breathed his last after saving three revolutionary comrades of his sub-workteam at a critical moment when a huge mass of frozen earth was falling down while making preparations for farming.

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

A ceremony of burying his remains took place at the Patriotic Martyrs Cemetery on Friday.

Present there were officials concerned, officials and farmers of the Ohyon Co-op Farm, bereaved families and relatives of Ri.

A speech was made before the burial.

His bereaved families and relatives and farmers laid a wreath and bouquets before his grave and paid silent tribute to him.
