Kim Jong Suk devoted her all to defending
the ever-victorious brilliant Commander Kim
Il Sung.
The June 1940 battle of Dashahe
is a typical example.
During the height of the battle the
Commander was standing on a hillside rock. Hiding herself nearby, Kim Jong Suk kept
a sharp watch on the surroundings. Suddenly, she noticed that several enemy soldiers
were worming their way through a reed field. A few steps away from where the
Commander was, they were levelling their rifles at him. At this critical moment
she shielded him and opened fire, killing them all. Thus she saved the
Commander, which was a notable contribution to the Korean revolution.
Later on, even in the years of
nation-building after Korea’s liberation, she remained faithful as the leader’s
bodyguard.
This year the Korean people will mark the centenary
of her birth. They will always remember the brilliant career of the
anti-Japanese war heroine as an ennobling example of loyalty.
