The article said the Korean nation was freed from the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule on Aug. 15, 1945.

President Kim Il Sung, founder of socialist Korea, achieved the historic cause of national liberation, the article noted, and went on:

He, who embarked upon the road of the revolutionary struggle for national liberation in his early years, put forward a line of armed struggle at the Kalun Meeting in 1930.

His line on liberating the country by the efforts of Koreans on the basis of the Juche idea and Songun idea through armed struggle made it possible for the Koreans' struggle for national liberation to advance along the scientific and right road with confidence.

He founded the anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army on April 25, 1932.

He organized the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland, the anti-Japanese national united front, on May 5, 1936 to rally broad sections of masses around the revolutionary army while strengthening the army.

He commanded the final offensive operation for Korea's liberation to defeat the Japanese imperialists.

His exploit of liberating Korea with Songun leadership will shine in the history of struggle for national liberation against imperialism.
