Born into a patriotic and revolutionary family from generation to generation, he grew into an ardent patriot and revolutionary under the education of the members of the Mangyongdae revolutionary family.

Being a core member of the Young Communist League of Korea and the first party organization formed by President Kim Il Sung, he rallied masses closely around the President by awakening and organizing them through experienced work and led them to positively turn out to the struggle for the independent development of the Korean revolution.

He mixed himself with workers, peasants and people of other strata to bring home the President's Juche-oriented revolutionary line and strategic and tactical policies to them and conducted vigorous activities to expand and strengthen the anti-Japanese revolutionary forces in the broad Korean and alien areas with Mt. Paektu as the centre.

He frequented rural villages in the guise of a doctor or peasant to make league officials expand the revolutionary organizations and organized art performance, dissemination of songs, gathering for expressing impressions on a book and the like to infuse the masses with the revolutionary consciousness and vigorously arouse them to the anti-Japanese struggle.

After the formation of the Korean Revolutionary Army by the President, he carried out with devotion the struggle for acquiring weapons upholding the President's line on armed struggle and, on the other hand, educated members of the Korean Independence Army who had been under the nationalist influence so that they embarked on the road of revolution.

His unshakable revolutionary conviction and will were further displayed in the days of struggle behind bars.

He was arrested by the enemies owing to a renegade's secret information against him. Though he was a prisoner behind bars, he waged a valiant struggle in jail with the indomitable will that a revolutionary must fight against the enemies to the last without stopping the struggle for the national liberation even a moment.

When the Japanese imperialists sentenced him to a jail term of 15 years in a gangster-like trial, he was not disappointed in the least but converted trial court into a place for condemning the crimes of the aggressors.

In last moments of his life, he earnestly called for waging an armed struggle to liberate the country.

The life of the indomitable revolutionary fighter Kim Hyong Gwon, who dedicated his precious youth to the struggle for the victory of the revolution with firm conviction in sure victory and unswerving spirit, will shine long in the history of the country.
