The workers of the complex are genuine heroes and patriots in the era of great surge as they have made a leap forward, producing molten iron with loyalty, the editorial noted, and went on:

They, remaining unfailingly loyal to the party and the revolution, devotedly worked last year, determined to make the year a year of surge for the complex and for its signal contribution. They brought about astonishing innovations, weathering all sorts of difficulties, and fully demonstrated the stamina and spirit of the working class of Korea that they can do anything if the party is determined. The completion of the Juche-based iron production system, a great victory of the self-supporting economy, is a product of the indomitable mental power displayed by the workers of the complex.

Their faith represents the unshakable will to honor the pledge they made to the party and the leader despite any storm and stress and their stamina the spirit of creation. They did by themselves what others have never ventured by taking just a single step while others took a hundred steps. Their ability of execution is the militant disposition with which they devotedly carry through their revolutionary duty without any conditions by putting anything determined into practice to the last.

Their faith, stamina and ability of execution reflect the indomitable revolutionary spirit and heroic stamina of the workers of the DPRK and the faith, will and revolutionary work style to be possessed by human beings in the present era of great urge. Only when the people work hard, emulating their faith, stamina and ability of execution, can they materialize the party's grand plan for the building of a thriving nation as early as possible and perform epoch-making feats glorifying the Songun era in the on-going drive for great surge.
