 2022.6.2.

President Kim Il Sung said:

"It is reported that triplets were born again at the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital yesterday. This is an auspicious event."

In the DPRK, people think of triplets and quadruplets when they talk about a silver-decorated knife and a gold ring.

Since early times Koreans have enjoyed using ornamental knives, out of the simple desire to protect their life and happiness from all sorts of dangers, and Korean women have worn rings, regarding them as a symbol of happiness. Children are regarded as the king in the socialist system. So when male triplets and quadruplets are born, they are given silver-decorated knives as gift, and for females the gold rings, being regarded as the happy event of the nation.

But few people are aware of what a great love is associated with the knife and ring.

One day in May, Juche 72(1983) Chairman Kim Jong Il called a senior official to his office and quoted President Kim Il Sung's saying that the birth of triplets is a sign that the country will prosper. And he gave an institution concerned the task to design presents for triplets.

The designers buckled down to designing. They tried to find out suitable ones day and night, but in vain.

One day, the Chairman acquainted himself with their work and came up with his idea. It was a silver-decorated knife and a gold ring.

He said that it would be better to inscribe their birthday on the silver-decorated knife and gold ring with three of them together to show the full date of birth, which would help them identify their brothers or sisters correctly even if they were separated unexpectedly.

The designers were deeply moved by his words.

His love for children was the warmest in the world to make the silver-decorated knife and gold ring for triplets and quadruplets and inscribe their date of birth on them, even taking thought for what could hardly happen.

Later, designers carved the year of birth on the blade of the first silver-decorated knife, the month of birth on the second and the day of birth on the third respectively, as instructed by the Chairman. And they carved the full date of birth on one side of all cases, thus making it possible to know their birthday and their standing in order. Three petals of sun flower were cut in the center of gold ring in a meaning of becoming a flower following the sun, with three rubies inserted inside to portray triplets, while the day, month and year of birth was curved inside gold ring in turn like the silver-decorated knife.

In October that year Chairman Kim Jong Il saw the knife and ring they made and expressed his satisfaction.

The knife and ring are condensed with the great leaders' noble view of the rising generations, who regarded them as the king of the country and spared nothing for them.

The parental love of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, who granted all sorts of love and benevolence to children, saying that the birth of triplets and quadruplets was a sign of a thriving nation, is maintained by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

Being reported that the 415th triplets was born at the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital on the eve of the 100th birthday of the President, he was so happy that he wrote in his own hand, Let's serve the people, saying that the great leaders would have been really pleased with the news.

His great love for triplets is told by his visiting the family of triplet sisters who moved into a new house built in Samjiyon city in April Juche 108(2019).

Those girls who were born in Pyongyang performed feats in the construction of the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station and decided to live in the city of Samjiyon, the sacred land of the revolution, with the desire to spruce up the city. He was so proud of them and gave them more meticulous love that their own parents, paying close attention to their living conditions and saying that they should write to him when they got married.

Under his warm care, they got married on the same day, at the same time in April, Juche 109 (2020) amid the blessing of all people.

The 500th triplet sisters were born at the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital in March, Juche 109 (2020), which is condensed with the warm love of the WPK, and were given the gold ring, although the whole world was in grip of horror and anxiety by the COVID-19.

Triplets and quadruplets are born in every country but none of them are as happy as those who was born and live a blessed life under the parental love of the Party

Indeed, thanks to the benevolent care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, the silver-decorated knife and gold ring serve as the symbol of happiness and future from the cradle to the last.
