The Korean proverb "The thief is afraid of his own shadow" means that if he is guilty, he will break his minds, and reveal his guilt in order to make himself clear before others know him. It is widely used to mean that the guilty person is guilty of his own accord, as if he were sitting on tacks.
This is a good expression to the Japanese imperialists who brought great misfortune to humankind.
Chairman
"The history of the Japanese imperialists is ridden with the crimes they committed, bringing unspeakable misfortunes and disasters to the Korean people."
Japan is a country with a sinful past. Many bloody footprints of the Japanese imperialist aggressors who took the road of continental aggression with the ambition of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" were recorded in our country.
The Japanese imperialists, who occupied our country illegally, imposed upon our people harsh colonial rule unprecedented in history and inflicted immeasurable sufferings and disasters upon them.
During the colonial rule against Korea, the Japanese imperialists not only tried to deprive the Korean people of their surnames, names, and languages, but also forcibly drafted and abducted 8.4 million innocent Korean people, massacred more than one million people and forced 200, 000 Korean women into sexual slavery. The gangster-like Japanese imperialists plundered and destroyed the national treasures and cultural assets of Korea at random, scratched the underground resources and almost all the products of astronomical value, and even plundered the brass plates and brass spoons and chopsticks used by our people at home.
As they were so guilty to our people, the Japanese imperialists were always suffering from uneasiness and horror, fearful of the crimes they had committed, and were astonished of themselves.
Among the facts is pufferfish episode of "scolding" the Japanese.
One day in May Juche 53(1964), Chairman
Officials who were fishing in the presence of President
Then a woman official looked at them and pondered. Looking at her, Chairman
The woman official was very surprised, saying that she had never seen such a fish, and that if she touched it lightly, its stomach swelled like a ball, and that there were such fish that sounded strange.
The Chairman smiled and told her about an anecdote about pufferfish.
Originally it was called "Pokaji" and gradually became vocal as time passed. The pufferfish can be said to have become more familiar since the Japanese imperialists occupied our country.
The Japanese imperialists ate tasty and rich fish of our country at random.
But when they saw the mysterious sight of the fish above, they rolled it here and there. Pufferfish sucked the air angrily, swelled its stomach, jumped, and gave little puffs of air.
The Japanese are said to have trampled down and killed their families, saying that the puffer fish is a bad fish which called them "Ppagayaro" (son of a bitch). After all, the Japanese imperialists became enemies to the puffers of our country. …
When the anecdote about pufferfish "scolding" the Japanese imperialists was spread, the anti-Japanese struggle of our people was intense and the Japanese were unable to sleep in peace.
It was a story of deep meaning. How brigandish the Japanese imperialists were, since they would have become enemies of even fish.
He said that there is philosophy and truth in the story about pufferfish, and that guilty people are always uncomfortable, a thief always keeps nervous whenever he sees people for being seen as a thief, and that he is even surprised to see natural phenomena.
He continued to say that no matter how clever the fish may be, it is impossible to speak Japanese and distinguish them, and that there is no possibility to abuse Japanese imperialism. And he laughed heartily, saying that many legendary tales just came from the Japanese mouths, in which the Japanese imperialists had heard the cry of fish as a scolding for them since they were getting stupid and they shuddered since "
Indeed, the pufferfish anecdote told by
The Korean people will never forget the bloody crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists in our country no matter how many years may go by and how many generations may change, and the Japanese imperialists will certainly have to pay dearly for all the disasters and misfortunes they inflicted upon our nation.
The Japanese reactionaries should clearly understand the retaliatory will of the Korean people and service personnel and the strategic position of Juche Korea, stop the embellishment of the hideous unethical crimes committed against the Korean people and the hostile policy toward the DPRK and make a sincere apology and thoroughgoing reparation for their crimes. It is the only way to save the destiny of the Japanese archipelago doomed to be buried in the middle of the sea.
