Story of Kim Jong Suk
Pyongyang, April 20 (KCNA) -- One day in June Juche 35 (1946) a Pyongyang-based newspaper carried a news item about poor living conditions of the south Korean workers.

Anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk, after reading the newspaper early in the morning, gave it to an official to read the news item.

Listening to his impressions of the story, she told him that it made her worried about the poor conditions of the south Korean workers and that though Korea had been liberated from the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule, the southern half of the country had still remained in a miserable situation caused by the U.S. military presence. She also said the anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters had shed their blood for the liberation of the whole country, but those in a half of the country were still leading a wretched life.

She then said that the U.S. imperialist aggression forces should be withdrawn from south Korea as quickly as possible so that the south Korean people could also enjoy benefits of democratic policies, adding that great efforts should be exerted to this end.
