It was a miracle that socialism of Korea was defended despite the severe hardships of history.

At present Korea is surprising the world again by opening up a new era of building a great prosperous powerful socialist state.

The Korean people are out in the struggle to make a leap forward in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation. What then makes them so confident?

 

Single-minded Unity Peculiar to Korea

What should be counted first as the distinctive character of the Korean society is its single-minded unity. The politico-ideological power of the people who are firmly united around their leader is the fundamental character of the Korean society and the basic guarantee for the invincible might of socialist Korea.

Apart from the single-minded unity all the miracles made in Korea and its bright future can hardly be thought of.

In the mid-1990s when socialist Korea was undergoing the severest hardships, leader Kim Jong Il of the Korean people kept administering Songun politics relying on the army and people. At that time when the imperialists were shouting with the exultation that the collapse of the former USSR and the East European socialist countries would be followed by that of socialist Korea while many people of the world were worried about the destiny of Korea, the leader was always among the army and people. Through his continuous on-the-spot guidance, he shared joy and sorrow with them and imbued them with fresh strength and courage.

So, despite the severest hardships, the army and people were more firmly united around the leader in Korea.

Such a society and system would never collapse. The fact that socialism has been defended in Korea eloquently shows that nothing is impossible and any miracle can be made when the leader believes in the people and the people support the leader single-mindedly.

Today the army and people of Korea are filled with the determination to follow the leader Kim Jong Il to the end of the world. All the army and people are filled with the spirit of defending the leader at the cost of their lives and with the will to carry out the leader’s idea and intention to the end.

 It is the unanimous will of the Korean people that they will make greater miracles and exploits in building a great prosperous powerful nation, true to the leader’s intention to open up a golden age in the building of a prosperous powerful nation.

 

 

 

Indomitable Revolutionary Spirit

Today, the revolutionary soldier spirit is the one representing the era and the symbol of all the miracles and victory in Korea.

The revolutionary soldier spirit that was created among the soldiers in the late 1990s through the implementation of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il’s order at the cost of their lives consists in the spirit of devotedly defending the leader, the spirit of devotedly implementing the leader’s idea and policies and the spirit of heroic self-sacrifice for the country, people and comrades.

It just becomes an example to be followed by the whole society and makes the spirit and way of struggle of all the soldiers and people.

In the very spirit, the Korean army and people erected tremendous structures even in the most difficult condition.

Soldiers built the Anbyon Youth Power Station which was called the “miracle of Korea in the 90s”, and young people constructed the Youth Hero Motorway creditably despite the quite difficult condition.

The halted factories resumed their operation and modern production bases appeared across the country. Through their experience the Korean people realized the truth that nothing was impossible with the revolutionary soldier spirit.

Though there were still many difficulties and many things lacking, the Korean leadership set the high goal of building a great prosperous powerful nation, just out of its conviction of the might of the revolutionary soldier spirit of the army and the people.

The revolutionary soldier spirit that fully displayed its might in the course of carrying out the idea and intention of leader Kim Jong Il at the cost of their lives, is the ideological and spiritual source that enables the Korean people to successfully push ahead with the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.

In recent years, the Korean people have achieved great successes in the economic construction. Under the leadership of Kim Jong Il there have been provided conditions for rapid development of the economy in all fields.

Large-sized gravity-fed waterways such as the Kaechon-Lake Taesong and Paekma-Cholsan waterways were constructed, the land-realigning projects promoted to turn all the fields of the country into the large-sized standardized ones, and the line of agricultural revolution including the seed revolution, innovation in potato farming, double-cropping and bean farming thoroughly implemented to provide a sure guarantee for a marked increase in the agricultural production.

The modern production bases have been built throughout the country and the modernization of the whole economy has been successfully promoted.

Now it can be said with certainty that the overall economy of Korea is on the upswing.

Formerly the Korean people already surprised the world by making a leap forward in the economic construction. After the Korean War in the early 1950s, they completed the postwar reconstruction in only 2-3 years though everything was damaged by the bombing of the US, and turned their country into a socialist industrial state for the following 14 years.

Moreover, now is different from that time, for they have a strong foundation of self-reliant economy that has been consolidated for decades and modern production centers based on the up-to-date science and technology. The Korean people are now firmly determined to make a leap forward in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation relying on that strong economic potentiality.

Under the leadership of Kim Jong Il, the Korean people will surely build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
