Pyongyang, December 24 (KCNA) -- Recorded in the history of the protracted Korean revolution is the great life of Kim Jong Suk, an anti-Japanese war hero, who faithfully upheld President Kim Il Sung's cause of the Songun (military-first) revolution.

Kim Jong Suk, who started revolutionary activities in her teens, devoted her all to the independence of the nation and the freedom and emancipation of the people till the end of her life.

It was her unshakable belief that the goal of revolutionaries' life and the value of their genuine life find themselves in defending the President politically and ideologically and at the risk of their lives.

Her spirit of devotedly defending the President was fully displayed in fierce battles in Fusong town, Hongqihe, Dashahe gully and other areas during the anti-Japanese armed struggle.

She steadfastly defended the President's ideas and policies from a renegade revolutionary in the Qingfeng secret camp. She also dried the President's clothes against her own body in the biting cold of around 40 degrees centigrade below zero, and always paid deep concern to the security of the headquarters of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (KPRA).

In the period of the building of a new country after national liberation, she guided the work of creating the immortal revolutionary hymn "Song of General Kim Il Sung" and the full-length epic "Mt. Paektu".

She was famous for excellent marksmanship, marvelous strategy and peerless valor.

After the liberation of the country she worked hard for the building of an army.

She visited an ammunitions factory several times to lay foundations of the defense industry and gave valuable instructions concerning the training of many able military personnel at Pyongyang Institute and other military academies and building of air, naval and tank forces.

She deeply loved her comrades and people all her life.

President Kim Il Sung wrote in his reminiscences "With the Century" that Kim Jong Suk lived all her life not for herself, but for her comrades and that all she did throughout her life was for her comrades, her fellows and for the revolution, not for her own benefit.

The Korean people well know the stories that she carried an iron pot full of boiling gruel on her head to other KPRA members who were fighting on a height and that she mended others' uniforms and shoes without taking time to relieve her own fatigue.
