Labors taken by President Kim Il Sung in the Liberated Fatherland on the First Folk Holiday

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Comrade Kim Il Sung was a great revolutionary who devoted his all to achieving the victory of revolution by displaying infinite loyalty to the revolutionary cause."

President Kim Il Sung made tireless efforts without a moment of rest in order to implement the three major tasks of building the Party, the state and the armed forces.

September 20th, 1945 was the first Chusok (August 15th according to lunar calender) that Korean people greeted in the liberated fatherland. From the olden times Chusok is a folk holiday when Korean people enjoy themselves after they gather in the crops of the year. It was Korean peoples' folk customs handed down traditionally to pay a visit to their ancestors' graves, play wrestling, have swinging contests, setting fire for killing rats and welcome the first full moon on the holiday. That day a festive mood pervaded the whole Wonsan city.

However, President summoned the political workers who were to be dispatched to every local area. As soon as he had returned in triumph to the fatherland, President dispatched some members on northbound train who were supposed to perform their work in north Hamgyong province. That day he was going to send the rest of the members.

Although the anti-Japanese fighters had determined to be dispatched to local areas after national liberation, all of them could not help feeling sorry because it was their unanimous desire to enjoy the happiness of liberation with President at least for some time.

President also felt it sorry not to give a day's rest to his comrades-in-arms who had been fighting for national liberation without any rest, experiencing the worst hardships and adversity that a man might experience and devoting all their youth to revolution. But he had to send them to their dispatched places.

Looking around his comrades affectionately, President emphasized that they had waged a bloody anti-Japanese armed struggle to liberate Korea in the past, but now should do their best to build new Korea.

He continued to say that, in order to successfully carry out the historic tasks of building the Party, the state and armed forces, first of all, they should go deep among the people and make full preparations. He said that it was the urgent task for them to do for the immediate future and that all of them should be fully aware of heavy task entrusted to them and should do good work as revolutionaries.

President said that he was sure the political workers would overcome all kinds of manifold difficulties with noble spirit displayed in the period of anti-Japanese armed struggle and carry out their honorable tasks without fail. He asked them to carry out their tasks and take good care of their health; and he shook their hands with a hearty grip.

It was President's mind to share the happiness of liberation and have even one day of rest with his comrades-in-arms who had fought their way across tens of thousands of ri in the bloody war against the Japanese imperialists. However, he dispatched his fighters to every local area in order to build a rich, independent sovereign state in liberated Korea as early as possible.

Thanks to painstaking efforts taken by the President, Korean people could carry out the cause of founding the Juche-oriented unified party and could build the Korean People's Army, the first revolutionary regular armed forces in the history of our country. They also proclaimed the founding of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, our glorious motherland, in a short period after liberation.

The immortal exploits of President Kim Il Sung who devoted even the first folk holiday in liberated motherland for the prosperity of the country and wellbeing of the people will shine forever in the history of our country.
