She embarked on the road of revolution in her early years and had not laid down her arms till the last moments of her life and handed down it as a precious heritage.

One day in May Juche 35 (1946), she came to attend a picnic hosted by officials of the newspaper Jongno, in company with President Kim Il Sung, and take part in a shooting contest.

At that time, she told her son, Chairman Kim Jong Il, that she would convey her pistol to him in the future and that he should safeguard Kim Il Sung with it.

Reflected in those words was her ardent wish that Kim Jong Il would value the arms and become an excellent general versed in military affairs like Kim Il Sung.

Later, Kim Jong Il, telling the story about this small pistol, said that he would hold the President in high esteem and accomplish his cause, regarding the pistol as his mental mainstay.

With the arms of revolution bequeathed by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Suk, the Chairman turned the DPRK, the socialist homeland of Juche, into a military giant, a country dignified with arms.
