Tradition of Devotedly Defending Revolutionary Leadership Established by Kim Jong Suk
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- The Korean people are highly praising anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk as the legendary bodyguard of President Kim Il Sung.

The title intensively signifies the exploits of Kim Jong Suk who established the great tradition of defending the leadership of revolution with very lives, a pride and heritage of the Korean revolution.

Kim Jong Suk met for the first time President Kim Il Sung in Sandaowan in the spring of Juche 24 (1935) and made her mind to believe only him anytime and anywhere and staunchly fight. Since then, she had devoted her all for defending the leadership of revolution with her very life.

She, with the thoroughgoing principle that any trifle mistake must not be allowed in defending the President, exposed and frustrated the sinister plots of the enemies to destroy the headquarters of the revolution at every step in bivouac and in the course of march during the anti-Japanese war.

She became a shield herself to protect his safety in fierce battles in the entrance to Dashahe, Fusong county town, Hongqihe and other areas.

Having regarded it the noblest and most honorable task to defend the revolutionary idea of the President, she resolutely struggled against the renegades to revolution who were ideologically degenerated in the grim ordeals, scared by the bluff of the enemies.

She set an example in implementing orders of the President, too.

She, together with several sewing-team members, carried out within 20 days the task of making 600 suits of uniforms for a month. The spirit displayed by her in thoroughly implementing the President's orders is kept in minds of the Korean people as a brilliant paragon.

In the period of building a new country, too, she became of her own accord an eternal "bodyguard" of the President to pay a special attention to safeguarding him and devoted herself to the efforts for carrying out his line of national building.

Kim Jong Suk guarded with her very life President Kim Il Sung whom the Korean people held in high esteem for the first time in the 5,000-year-long history of the nation and thus gave the people the fortune of being blessed with illustrious leaders. Indeed, her precious exploit will shine long.
