On this anniversary, the Korean people are recollecting the precious revolutionary life of the modest and honest heroine, who always shared weal and woe with the people.

Even after the liberation of the country, she lived an industrious and frugal life, apart from any privilege.

One day Kim Jong Il saw his mother working on a vegetable garden with her face streaming with sweat and her footwear and clothes stained with mud, and approached her to clean them.

But she told her son that those engaging in farming should not have a dislike to mud and that land would give fruits as much as they work. She also said that they would feel the value of hard working when picking up fruits cultivated by themselves.

The other day a peasant came to Pyongyang to donate rice to the country out of patriotism. When he unloaded straw rice bags from a cart, a woman helped him and brought washing water to him. At that time he did not know she was Kim Jong Suk, respected by all people.

It is also a well-known story that she joined in the patriotic work for the Pothong River improvement and in rice-planting on Mirim fields.

The noble traits of the heroine, who devoted herself to the country, the people and the revolution, still encourage the Korean people to strive hard for the building of a thriving nation.
