Great Trust and Love that Trains the Agricultural Workers of the DPRK to Be True Patriotic Peasants

There are many patriotic peasants in the farms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, who are devoting themselves to defending the Party and the revolution with grain production.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Our agricultural workers are loyal and patriotic people who are firmly defending the rural position of our revolution and who support the Party and the revolution with their cereal production while always being of one mind with the Party and throwing in their lot with socialism."

A patriotic peasant is a genuine master of land and a true peasant who thinks of the affairs of the state before those of his own home and devotes his all to farming. In other words, he is the one who takes care of the field under his charge like his own kitchen garden, worries about farming in all weather conditions, and opens the door of his house before others, and tries to increase crop production by finding even one more patch of field.

Patriotic peasant – this is not an official post or honorary title but the most valuable title granted by the Workers' Party of Korea and the Republic to the true agricultural workers who are devoting their pure conscience and sincere sweat to safeguarding socialism and defending the revolution with increased grain production.

There are working people engaged in farming in every country, but no country in the world regards the ordinary agricultural workers as faithful patriots and patriotic peasants safeguarding the Party and the revolution.

Only the farmers of the DPRK enjoy this title under the warm care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who values the precious mind of the agricultural workers who are defending the agricultural front, the outpost of the struggle for safeguarding socialism, and bestows deep trust and love on them.

For him, the agricultural workers of the country are not mere tillers of land.

They are reliable forces in socialist construction, whom President Kim Il Sung trained as masters of land and reliable rural revolutionaries, sometimes discussing the state affairs sitting knee to knee with them on paddy ridges, and whom Chairman Kim Jong Il valued and held up as reliable builders of a powerful socialist country.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un showed great trust in them, calling them forefront soldiers standing on the frontline trench in the forward echelon of the campaign to defend socialism. When he read the letters from the farmers of workteam No. 12 of the then Tonam Cooperative Farm in Yonan County and the then Sangjung Cooperative Farm in Yonggwang County, who overfulfilled their grain production plans and donated grain to the country out of patriotism, he felt their ennobling spiritual world and hardened his resolve to do his best for such laudable people.

The story about a patriotic peasant in Ilam-ri, Yangdok County, whom he met during his on-site guidance has much to say.

The ordinary pensioner took charge of a low-yielding field and cultivated it with great care to contribute something of his own production to the country. The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un learned about and valued the patriotic spirit of the old man, and invited him to the platform of a meeting attended by exemplary agricultural workers across the country. The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un had a photo session with labor innovators and persons of merit, who took part in the celebrations of the 73rd founding anniversary of the DPRK, in the yard of the WPK Central Committee, bestowing warm affection on them that would be handed down through generations.

As he values the agricultural workers, he visited flood-hit farmers through a rough road and unfolded a plan for the construction of new houses incomparably better than the damaged ones. He also set forth a rural revolution programme in the new era and opened a new history of rural development.

Indeed, his affection and trust are the sustenance that trains the agricultural workers of the DPRK to be patriots, and under this affection and trust a large contingent of patriotic peasants is growing up.

As we have the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who values the ordinary agricultural workers and trains them to be the patriotic peasants safeguarding the Party and the revolution with grain production, epochal leaps forward and changes will be brought about in the countryside of Korea and the centuries-old desire of the people will be realized with the comprehensive development of socialism.
