The Korean people fought arduous struggle to put an end to the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule and achieve independence.

On August 9, 1945 he ordered the units of the KPRA to commence general offensive.

KPRA's small units and political operatives active in the homeland aroused broad masses to the final offensive against the Japanese imperialists.

All the Korean people greeted the liberation with great joy and happiness.
