It was written by President Kim Il Sung during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle.

In the days of conducting the great war against the Japanese imperialist aggressors, he created revolutionary operas, dramas, songs and many other literary works to show the way for independent life and the truth of struggle.

Among them are "The Flower Girl", "Sea of Blood", "The Mountain Shrine", "A Letter from a Daughter", "An Jung Gun Shoots Hirobumi Ito" and "Three Pretenders". Those works stress the ideas that revolution and struggle are the only way for the oppressed people to live, independence is what keeps a nation alive, one's own destiny is shaped by oneself, not by God, knowledge is power and factional strife and division ruin a nation. They show the true ways for national liberation and class emancipation.

There are also such songs as "Anti-Japanese War", "The Korean People's Revolutionary Army" and "The Ten-Point Programme of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland". The songs gave unshakable faith and optimism to the anti-Japanese guerrillas and people, contributing to the victorious conclusion of the anti-Japanese armed struggle led by Kim Il Sung.
