Rodong Sinmun Calls for Following Example Set by Persons of Merits in Songun Era
Pyongyang, October 20 (KCNA) -- The persons of merits in the era of Songun are the standard-bearers loyal to the cause of the Workers' Party of Korea, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a jointly signed article carried 30 years after President Kim Il Sung put forward the common persons who sincerely work for the Party and the country, irrespective of whether they are recognized or not, as the unassuming heroes and the unassuming persons of meritorious services and made sure that all the people waged a vigorous movement for following their example.

The article goes on:

The persons of distinguished services in the era of Songun are the genuine revolutionaries who are stronger than any others in the faith that the line and policies of the WPK are the most correct and it is possible to bring earlier a victory in the drive to build a thriving nation once they do as instructed by the WPK. They are, at the same time, the true and faithful patriots who devotedly work at their posts, bearing deep in mind their civic duty and the possessors of the revolutionary outlook on life that one should live not for today but for tomorrow.

The persons of distinguished services in the era of Songun set an example to be followed by all the people as regards the firm faith that one should single-mindedly and invariably remain true to the idea and guidance of the leader, fidelity to the civic duty that one should devote oneself to the socialist homeland and the noble revolutionary outlook on life.

Thanks to the profound trust and great loving care of General Secretary Kim Jong Il there appeared a large contingent of persons of distinguished merits in the era of Songun and the single-minded unity of the revolutionary ranks has grown rock-solid.

The history of the WPK in which it has wisely led the movement to follow the example of the persons of merits in the era of Songun is a history in which it has trained all the members of the society as ardent revolutionaries and patriots by invariably giving priority to the ideological revolution.

All the persons of distinguished services grown up under the care of the Party are the innovators and performers of feats loved by the collective.

The greatness and undying feats of the Party lie in that it has trained a large contingent of the genuine revolutionaries and patriots who feel pride and worth of living in working hard, racing against the time, and rendering services for the development and prosperity of the country.
