Story of Kim Jong Suk
Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- One day in August Juche 37 (1948), anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk in simple attire went to the polls. At that time nobody recognized her.

Later an official hurried to her and invited her to vote before others.

Refusing his offer, she told him that she would cast her vote in due order together with other people.

When he repeated his offer, she told him that she was just one of voters. Then she persisted in waiting for her turn in a long queue.

The official was much touched by the humble behavior of Kim Jong Suk.
