Pyongyang, January 12 (KCNA) -- More than 70 years have elapsed since indomitable revolutionary fighter Kim Hyong Gwon, uncle of President Kim Il Sung, passed away on January 12, 1936. The Korean people take this opportunity to look back, in humble reverence, upon the brilliant life of Kim Hyong Gwon, who dedicated his all to the anti-Japanese revolution with the conviction of sure victory in the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered by the President. Born into a patriotic and revolutionary family for generations, he rallied the broad sections of people around the President by awakening and organizing them in a flexible mass work method and made them to take an active part in the struggle for the independent development of the Korean revolution. He went down among the masses including workers and peasants to bring home to them the revolutionary line of the President, sharing board and room and working with them and conducted energetic activities to expand and strengthen the anti-Japanese revolutionary forces in vast areas at home and abroad centering around Mt. Paektu. Though he was always under the enemy's surveillance, he went to Fusong and Changbai areas to implant patriotism against the Japanese imperialists deep in the hearts of lots of young men and women and let them join the Paeksan Youth League. This is well illustrative of his stubborn fighting spirit and uncommon disposition as a competent political activist. He, faithfully true to the idea and leadership of the President at any time and in any place, used to willingly receive any difficult tasks of advancing into the homeland which might cost his life for carrying into practice the plan of the President to expand the armed struggle deep into the homeland. He stormed the police substation in Phabal-ri, Phungsan County (then), leading a Korean Revolutionary Army's operational group and shot to death the police sergeant who mercilessly repressed the local people. His gun report was one of revenge satisfying the pent-up resentment and grudge of the people against the Japanese imperialists and an echo of the Songun revolution, which inspired them to the struggle against Japanese imperialism. Even after he was arrested by enemies, informed by a renegade, he continued an unflinching struggle behind bars with the indomitable spirit that one should not stop struggle even a moment but fight the enemy to the finish on the road of revolution for the national liberation. The immortal achievements made by him with a firm conviction of the victory and indomitable spirit in the brilliant history of the Korean revolution which was pioneered with arms, will shine for ever in the history of the fatherland. |
