Amid the playing of the song "Long Live Generalissimo Kim Il Sung", a circle dance of the youth and students started.

The participants expressed boundless reverence for President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il who liberated the country, crossing steep ridges and deep valleys of Mt Paektu and waging the bloody war against the Japanese imperialists, and laid an eternal foundation for the happiness and prosperity of posterity on this land.

They danced to the tune of the songs "Mine Is Always the Country of Kim Il Sung", "We Started from Scratch", etc.

They were filled with boundless pride and self-confidence in glorifying the new era of self-respect and prosperity, the era of our state-first principle.

The stamina and optimism of the young people of our era added to the vitality and vigor to the evening gala venue with the song "Youth and Courage", etc.

The atmosphere of the evening gala revved up with the display of fireworks in the nocturnal sky.

Dancing parties of youth and students were also held in provincial seats, cities and counties on the same day.
