Immortal Exploits Performed by the Woman General of Mt. Paektu in Glorifying the Greatness of President Kim Il Sung and His Revolutionary Exploits

The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung said:

"She had an unusual ability to motivate the masses, awakening them to consciousness and enlisting them in action."

The life of the anti-Japanese war heroine Kim Jong Suk was a brilliant revolutionary career in which she devotedly defended and remained loyal to President Kim Il Sung and thus set a brilliant example of loyalty to the leader.

Comrade Kim Jong Suk explained the greatness and revolutionary exploits of the great leader to the people of all walks of life and inspired them to the building of a new country by rallying them close around the leader.

What is important in her exploits is that she made the people deeply understand his revolutionary exploits through press conferences, welcome meetings, lectures, round-table talks, etc.

During her activities in North Hamgyong Province, Kim Jong Suk, at a meeting with reporters of Saegil Sinmun(then), talked about the greatness and revolutionary exploits of President Kim Il Sung, the legendary hero of the anti-Japanese struggle.

With the most thorough revolutionary outlook on the leader, she told the reporters asking about her personal revolutionary career, that the newspaper should be written for the General, and that the story of the revolutionary soldiers was in the history of the leader. She said with deep emotion about the greatness and immortal exploits performed by the great leader.

Thus, Saegil Sinmun carried an article praising the great leader who led the anti-Japanese armed struggle to victory in Mt. Paektu areas for the liberation of the country.

The article was distributed not only in North Hamgyong Province but in Pyongyang and across the country to arouse great repercussions, and the immortal revolutionary exploits of President Kim Il Sung who brought about the national liberation became widely known to all the Korean people.

On such occasions as a welcome meeting at the then North Hamgyong Province People's Theatre in December Juche 34 (1945), a hospitality meeting of the people in the Sunam area held at the then Chongjin Central Theatre, a lecture at the then Fourth Women's Middle School in February Juche 35 (1946) and many other occasions, she ardently called upon all the people to remain true to President Kim Il Sung, explaining the exploits performed by the leader, who brought joy of national liberation to the people and was wisely leading the construction of a new country,.

The energetic political activities conducted by Kim Jong Suk encouraged the Korean people to turn out in the building of a new country with a firm faith that they would trust and follow President Kim Il Sung only, despite the complicated situation after liberation.

Another important aspect of the immortal exploits performed by her in glorifying the greatness of the leader and his revolutionary exploits is that she actively pushed forward the work of creating the immortal revolutionary hymn "Song of President Kim Il Sung", thus making sure that the people cherished absolute trust in him.

The firm will of Comrade Kim Jong Suk to glorify the greatness and immortal revolutionary exploits of President Kim Il Sung for all ages was clearly manifested in the composition of "Song of General Kim Il Sung", which is now sung as an immortal revolutionary hymn with boundless reverence of the Korean people and all the progressive peoples of the world.

It was a unanimous wish of the Korean people to compose a song telling the world the immortal revolutionary work of President Kim Il Sung who had realized the historic cause of national liberation.

Comrade Kim Jong Suk, regarding it as not only an ardent desire of all the people but also as a duty and obligation of the revolutionaries, dedicated all her energies to it.

She sent a handbook containing more than 100 revolutionary songs including the ones by the General to the lyric writer and personally met him, despite her busy schedules, to tell him with deep emotion about all the historical facts and hardships President Kim Il Sung had experienced during the arduous anti-Japanese armed struggle. She gave him the ideological essence of the revolutionary hymn he had been seeking for, which led him to the completion of the lyrics.

Thus, "Song of General Kim Il Sung" was created as an ode from the bottom of the hearts of the Korean people and the revolutionary peoples of the world by the meticulous care of Comrade Kim Jong Suk, who regarded it as her duty and noble mission to glorify the greatness and immortal exploits of the great leader. It added brilliance to the immortal revolutionary exploits of the great leader and rallied all the Korean people around him.

Her devotion to glorifying the greatness of President Kim Il Sung and his revolutionary achievements is also manifested in guiding the work of publishing a short biography of President Kim Il Sung, which made a great contribution to the education of the people in the revolutionary history of President Kim Il Sung and his immortal revolutionary exploits.

Writing a short biography that comprehensively systematized the leader's revolutionary history was an important requirement for educating the Korean people in his greatness and immortal revolutionary exploits.

However, there had been no synthesized or systematized book of President Kim Il Sung's revolutionary history since the liberation from the Japanese colonial rule, which hindered the study on the revolutionary history based on the anti-Japanese armed struggle.

Having acquainted herself in detail with such situation, she clarified to the officials that the genuine revolutionary history of the Korean people was that of the anti-Japanese armed struggle organized and led by President Kim Il Sung and initiated the compilation of his short biography as early as possible.

She also lit the way to the organization of the compiling staff and their work and led them to actively push ahead with the compilation.

It was thanks to the direct initiative and care of Comrade Kim Jong Suk, who cherished loyalty to the great leader as her faith, that "Short Biography of General Kim Il Sung", a book that comprehensively systematized the revolutionary history of the leader, was revealed.

This became an important milestone in educating the Korean people in the great leader's immortal revolutionary exploits, and served as the origin of the publication of the books of the leader's revolutionary history and brief history, short biographies and biographies of the great leader.

The "Short Biography of General Kim Il Sung" cherishes the noble loyalty and brilliant feats of Comrade Kim Jong Suk who directed all her thoughts, activities and tireless efforts to glorifying the greatness and immortal revolutionary exploits of the great leader.

To sum up, the anti-Japanese war heroine Comrade Kim Jong Suk conducted energetic activities to glorify the greatness and revolutionary exploits of President Kim Il Sung after the liberation of the country, thus leading the Korean people to struggle vigorously for the prosperity of the fatherland along the road indicated by the leader with an absolute trust in him.
