Joint Art Performance Given in Samjiyon City
Pyongyang, February 16 (KCNA) -- A joint art performance "Song reverberating through face-lifted Samjiyon City in February" was given by artistes of Samjiyon City and the itinerant art squad of 216 Division at the Samjiyon City Hall of Culture on February 15 to celebrate the 80th birth anniversary of Chairman Kim Jong Il.

Among the audience were Choe Ryong Hae and Kim Tok Hun, members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, senior officials of the Party and the government, leading officials of the armed forces organs, ministries and national institutions, commanding officers and shock brigade members of 216 Division, officials and working people in Ryanggang Province and Samjiyon City.

The art performance, which started with chorus "We Celebrate", sang highly of the noble revolutionary career of Chairman Kim Jong Il who made a long journey of dedication to the people's happiness, taking warm care of them all his life.

A story-telling poem "Kim Jong Il's birthplace in the Paektusan Secret Camp and Samjiyon City", male solo "Thinking of the General" and other numbers reflected the people's ardent reverence for Kim Jong Il.

A dialogic drama "Wish", male duet "I love my mother" and male chorus "Oh Party, It's Thanks to Your Care" impressively represented the immortal exploits of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un who made sure that a rare mountain cultural town representing the era of the Workers' Party was built in the sacred land near Mt Paektu to translate the patriotic desire of Kim Jong Il for building a powerful nation into reality.

Impressing the audience, the performance gave a good artistic description of the pure loyalty and fighting spirit of devotedly carrying out the Party's policy displayed by the builders and the people across the country who have faithfully upheld the grand plan and determination of the Party Central Committee to turn Samjiyon City near the birthplace of the Chairman into a socialist paradise without an equal in the world.

The performance hardened the conviction of the audience that the beautiful dream and ideal of the people will surely come true, thank to the respected General Secretary who has ensured the continuity of the history of "The People Are God" and devoted service for the people's wellbeing to convey the Chairman's warm love and trust.

The performance was applauded by the audience as it vividly reflected the fervent enthusiasm of the people in Samjiyon City and shock brigade members of 216 Division to add luster to the sacred land near the birthplace of the Chairman.
