Many good deeds of devoting oneself to others were performed by young people from January to May. Those deeds were not well known to the public at first as their performers didn't tell their names or addresses, considering them as common practice.

Ri Jong Son, a workteam leader of the August 28 Youth Shock Brigade, sacrificed himself to save a young girl member in danger.

He had always volunteered to do the most difficult tasks facing the workteam and dedicated himself to carrying them out, working hard to become an admirable young man wanted by the times.

As he was a paragon of warm comradeship and love for the group, he sacrificed his life for a comrade without hesitation at a critical moment.

People are greatly touched by a story about Pyon Yong Chong working at the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) who married a special-class disabled soldier.

She was born and grew up in the capital city of Pyongyang. She has worked at KCNA since her graduation from a college.

After being told that a college classmate was on the brink of death after sustaining a serious injury while carrying out his military duty, she spent over 540 days beside his bed to take care of him.

She became a nurse for him and decided to become his wife.

This was not an impromptu decision. Such a communist trait can be displayed only by the young people of the DPRK with warm love for comrades and collectivism.

When a fire broke out in a forest reserve near the hill-fort called Suyangsansong, 30 odd young people of the Suyangsan Sports Team voluntarily turned out in putting out the fire. They were in their teens and twenties at that time and nobody pushed them into fighting the fire. However, they regarded it as their duty and put out the fire in the end through their self-sacrificing efforts.

Many other good deeds performed by young people show the noble virtues and good ideological and mental qualities of the Korean youth in this era.
