The work, published on May 15, 1988, comprehensively deals with the theoretical and practical issues arising in waging an all-people heroic struggle including the tradition of heroic struggle of the Korean people, its essence, and tasks and ways for all the people to live and struggle like heroes.

The article says heroism displayed by the Korean people and army in dedicating themselves to the victorious advance of the revolutionary cause of Juche and the prosperity of the country serves as a source of invincible strength of Songun Korea and a powerful driving force for building a thriving nation.

Loyalty to the party and the leader is the most vivid expression of heroism, ardent patriotic devotion is the bottom line of miracles and feats and faith in socialism is the spiritual source of heroic feats, the article notes, and goes on:

The DPRK has become a country of heroes as it has a large unit of heroes boundlessly faithful to the party and the leader.

For the future! This valuable patriotic spirit ran through the revolutionary life of Kim Jong Il, which the army and people of the DPRK deeply engraved in their minds.

Unshakable is the faith of the army and people of the DPRK to share their destiny with socialism to the end. They have waged a heroic struggle to decisively foil the political and military pressure of the imperialists, their reactionary ideological and cultural poisoning and psychological warfare.

A final victory is in store for the service persons and people of the DPRK because they are defending socialism in a death-defying spirit, strong in idea and faith.
