Born into a poor peasant family of Yontan County, North Hwanghae Province, she experienced the sorrow of a stateless nation, suffering every kind of humiliation and insult. It was not until President Kim Il Sung liberated the country that she could live a happy life.

She dedicated herself to her revolutionary task to repay the benevolence of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il who built a new country in which the people became its master, and glorified it.

After becoming a pensioner, she is enjoying her life, receiving social benefits and doing simple works.
