Guerrilla campfire made during march on horseback

 2026.2.7.

Today, under the leadership of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un, the Korean people are waging a dynamic struggle for the prosperity of the country with the firm faith and will to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered in Mt Paektu.

The General Secretary continuously made trips in an effort to firmly arm all the people with the revolutionary spirit of Paektu and make the offensive spirit of Paektu further prevail in the country. Among the trips is his march on horseback to the revolutionary battle sites in the area of Mt Paektu.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"We, revolutionaries, whether alive or dead, should strive for our country, our motherland, as the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners did."

In the days from November 30 to December 2 in 2019, he looked round the revolutionary battle sites in the Mt Paektu area, leading a march of mounted officials.

They stopped in a place during the march at his suggestion to make a fire.

The officials were quite anxious as they could find no comfortable place for him since the whole area was covered with knee-deep snow.

Reading their mind, he suggested making a fire there like the anti-Japanese guerrillas.

When the fire began to flare up, the officials around it found themselves wrapped in solemn feeling.

It was because the fire reminded them of the ones made by President Kim Il Sung, a legendary hero of the anti-Japanese war, in battle areas.

He kindled campfires in those days of fighting without any support from a wing or rear against the formidable imperialist enemy professing itself to be the "leader of Asia".

The fire of struggle the President kindled while firmly adhering to the independent stand that the revolution should be carried out only by the people themselves, not with the help of others, became fierce flames to encourage and guide the Korean people and a sledgehammer to punish the enemy, thus resulting in the accomplishment of the great historic cause of national liberation.

The image of the General Secretary building a fire at the meaningful battle sites in the Mt Paektu area so resembled that of General Kim Il Sung, commander of the anti-Japanese guerrillas.

The guerrilla campfire, made at the battle sites of the anti-Japanese war, was the reflection of the faith and will of the General Secretary to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered in Mt Paektu without fail and surely turn the country into an invincible socialist power.

The guerrilla campfire built by the General Secretary at the battle sites of the anti-Japanese war fires all the Korean people with the resolve to carry on the soul of the revolutionary forerunners and carry out the revolution to the last and the will to realize the desire of the forerunners so as to turn the DPRK into the most powerful country in the world.
