Kim Il Sung's Feats for Liberation of Korea
Pyongyang, August 14 (KCNA) -- It is 69 years since President Kim Il Sung achieved the historic cause of Korea's liberation.

The liberation of Korea was a historic event that provided a fundamental turn in carving out the destiny of the Korean nation and opened up the new origin of Juche Korea.

Kim Il Sung embarked on the road of the anti-Japanese revolution in the distressed days when the destiny of the country was at stake and the existence of the nation was at peril due to the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule, and declared an all-out war with the Japanese imperialists.

With neither state-backing home front nor assistance of a regular army, he forced his way through bloody battles against the Japanese imperialist aggression forces who styled themselves leader of Asia.

The liberation of Korea put an end to the dark age of distress of the nation and the Korean people could lead a new life as a full-fledged master of an independent and sovereign state.

Kim Il Sung is the father of socialist Korea who built an invincible socialist power on the liberated land of Korea.

Based on the solid foundation of building an independent and sovereign state which was laid during the hard-fought anti-Japanese revolution, he built on the liberated land a new country where the people have become masters.

From the first day of the country's liberation to the last days of his great revolutionary life he energetically worked with total dedication to turn the country into a genuine people's country and the most dignified and prosperous socialist country.

Firmly maintaining the principle of independence he built the powerful driving force of the Korean revolution and led to victory two revolutionary wars, rehabilitation and construction and two stages of social revolutions and socialist construction while foiling all the counter-revolutionary offensives of the imperialists and reactionaries and the interventions by left and right opportunists.

The most advantageous socialist system centered on the popular masses was built and the DPRK turned into a socialist power, independent, self-supporting and self-reliant, in a short span of time.

The great feat for Korea's liberation performed by the President is shining along with the noble patriotic feats he performed by building socialism where the popular masses have become the masters of the state and society and everything serves them for the first time in history, genuine socialism which has become part of life of the Korean people.
