Rodong Sinmun on Tradition of Korean People's Heroic Struggle
Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday dedicates an article to the 25th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's work "Let Us All Live and Struggle like Heroes".

The work, published on May 15, Juche 77 (1988), comprehensively deals with the experience of the struggle of the army and people of the DPRK who have decorated the great annals of two-stage revolutionary wars, rehabilitation and construction and socialist construction with undying heroic epics. It also clearly indicates the precious ideological and theoretical guidelines to give steady continuity to the tradition of the heroic struggle generation after generation.

The history and tradition of the heroic struggle of the Korean people which originated from the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle have successfully been carried forward generation after generation, the article says, and goes on:

The Korean people won the victory in the Fatherland Liberation War (July 27, 1953), made miraculous leap in the period of the Chollima great surge, ushered in a great heyday in the era of the Workers' Party through the speed campaign, victoriously concluded the arduous march and the forced march and demonstrated the inexhaustible might of the space power and the nuclear weapons state. This would be unthinkable apart from the heroic struggle of the Korean people holding the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu in high esteem.

Let us all live and struggle like heroes -- this is the steadfast determination and will of the army and people of the DPRK opening up a new era of victory and prosperity which will shine long in the history under the leadership of the great Workers' Party of Korea.

All the service personnel and people are upholding the idea and the leadership of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un with intense loyalty and strong sense of obligation, sharing the intention and feeling with him.

Their heroism is being fully displayed in defending Korean-style socialism with the faith in certain victory in the socialist cause.

It is also being fully displayed in the effort to lay the eternal foundation for the prosperity of the country and its people's happiness with patriotic dedication.
