Born into a poor peasant family in Taedong County, she was subject to all sorts of maltreatment and contempt as a member of a stateless nation.

She could lead a worthy life as a mistress of the country and tiller of her own land after President Kim Il Sung liberated the country.

She worked hard as a farmer to repay the great benevolence of the state. She kept herself busy with work even after becoming a pensioner.

She is always hard-working and optimistic. She likes soybean food and vegetables.
