Noting that the flame of Hamnam is the shining fruition of Kim Jong Il's distinguished mode of revolution and creation, the editorial goes on:

In the days of making revolution under his leadership, the Korean people deeply grasped the truth that the way Kim Jong Il did leads to victory and prosperity.

Embodied in the flame of Hamnam is the spirit of waging a hot offensive to carry out the tasks set forth by the Workers' Party of Korea in the shortest possible time on the best level. The spiritual world and working style of the people in the province are the steadfast stand of regarding the tasks set forth by Kim Jong Il as their life and soul and deepest trust, a do-or-die will to carry out any tasks earlier than scheduled through a blitz and a true creative manner of doing any work impeccably.

The mental power of Hamnam proved in practice the truth that "DPRK can do anything when it is determined" and fully displayed the wisdom and mettle of Kim Il Sung's nation.

A great victory is sure to be won in 2012 and a thriving nation is sure to appear earlier than scheduled when all the posts, worksites, provinces, cities and counties bring about innovations like the people in South Hamgyong Province and all the people work hard like those in the province.
