He, who was taken to Japan in labor conscription during Japan's colonial rule over Korea, could lead a worthwhile life after he returned to the homeland liberated by President Kim Il Sung.

During the Fatherland Liberation War, he volunteered to join the People's Army and performed distinguished feats.

In the periods of the postwar reconstruction and the socialist construction, he devoted himself to agricultural production. And he has done the work conducive to the economic life of the country after retirement.

He is still doing housework in good health, always telling his descendants and neighbors to do more works for the country.
