The day is recorded in bold letters in the history of
the Korean nation, for it commenced the rebirth of the Korean nation and a new
history of socialist Korea
National Rebirth
The Korean people suffered the tragic fate of
colonial slavery under the military occupation of Japan
During their rule, the Japanese imperialists
blustered that the Koreans must obey Japanese laws or die, and tried recklessly
to violate and obliterate the Korean nation. They randomly arrested and killed
the Korean patriots, destroyed and plundered the natural resources and cultural
heritage, and even forced the Korean people to change their names to Japanese
ones.
The Korean nation’s time-honoured history spanning 5
000 years was facing the grave perils of being cut off. At this critical
juncture, Kim Il Sung (1912-1994), emerged as a great saviour of the nation.
He set out on the road of revolutionary struggle to
liberate Korea
The anti-Japanese armed struggle Kim Il Sung
organized and led for over a decade, without any state rear nor support from a
regular army, was the most arduous but heroic struggle. Japanese imperialists,
advocating a slogan of “Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere” in pursuit of
realizing their wild dream for gaining the world hegemony, likened the Korean
guerrilla army fighting against them to a “drop in the ocean.” However, Kim Il
Sung defeated them by employing unique strategies and adroit guerrilla tactics,
thus accomplishing the cause of national independence.
The Korean people greeted a new dawn of national rebirth
after suffering a bitter lot of a ruined nation scores of years.
Socialist Korea
Under the leadership of Kim Il Sung they carried out
successfully the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution through
agrarian reform, nationalization of major industries, enforcement of Law on Sex
Equality and so on. They also founded the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea United States , having boasted of its being the
“strongest” in the world, started a war (1950-1953) against the DPRK in an
attempt to nip it in the bud, the Korean people inflicted an ignominious defeat
on the US
A people-centred socialist system was established by
Kim Il Sung and further strengthened under the leadership of Kim Jong Il
(1942-2011).
Perfect and thoroughgoing free medical care system
and compulsory free education of the highest standard are being effected in the
DPRK. Dwelling houses are built at state expense and provided to its citizens
free of charge, and they are also entitled to such social benefits as paid
leave and accommodation at health resorts and holiday homes at state expense.
The DPRK has become the first country in the world that abolished its taxation
system once and for all.
Socialist Korea has given the fullest play to its
immortal viability and inexhaustible vitality.
In the closing years of the last century several
countries that were building socialism were thrown into great social and
political turmoil and thus abandoned one after another the cause of socialism.
The collapse of socialist countries in succession and the sudden death of
President Kim Il Sung, catastrophic natural disasters that hit the country for
consecutive years, and the intensifying offensives the imperialist allied
forces aimed at the DPRK to stifle it—they were the worst ever trials socialist
Korea
Now it has attained the high levels of development
and upbuilding of the national power, as it is being led by Kim Jong Un.
The DPRK has already occupied the position of a
politico-ideological and military power, and is paving the way for building a
powerful state in the fields of the economy, science and technology, sports and
others. What makes the DPRK come into the limelight of the world is that it,
though in the past it had lost its name on the world political map owing to its
weak national power, has developed into a power with space technology and
nuclear capabilities that are in exclusive possession of only a few countries.
It is demonstrating its willpower to root out the evil source in acute
confrontation with the imperialist super power, which infringes upon the
sovereignty of other countries and commits acts of aggression and intervention.
It has become the object of admiration of the international community.
