Heroic Feats of Young Korean People
Pyongyang, August 28 (KCNA) -- Another grand monument to the youth is being erected at the northern gateway of Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK.

True to the trust of the Workers' Party of Korea which totally entrusted the construction task of a new street in the Sopho area to the young people, young builders from across the country are waging a heroic struggle, performing miracles and feats every day in housing construction.

The whole course of our revolution is associated with the heroic feats of the young people who have always responded to the call of the Party with ardent youth.

After the war, the young people completed the huge project of constructing the Haeju-Hasong railway within only 75 days.

President Kim Il Sung called the young builders of the railway project the first unit riding Chollima.

In the early 1970s, too, the youth shock brigade members completed the construction project of the railways between the east and the west of the country in a little more than a year, which would take at the least six years.

In the 1980s, young builders carried out the construction project of the northern railways in five years, which was tens of times greater than the Ichon-Sepho railway construction, overcoming the severe cold and ordeals in the northern part of the country where the temperature was between 30~40 degrees below zero.

Chairman Kim Jong Il sent a congratulatory message of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea to the builders of the northern railways and saw to it that a monument to the northern railways was erected at the plaza of Hyesan Youth Railway Station.

In the period of the Arduous March, the forced march, the young people built the Youth Hero Motorway extending more than 40 kilometers as a monumental edifice in less than two years, despite the lack of machines, fuel and food.

The members of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade successfully built the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station in the new century of Juche, overcoming unfavorable natural and geographical conditions unprecedented in the history of the construction of hydro-power stations.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un saw to it that the medal of DPRK Hero was depicted at the monument to the feats of heroic youth to be built at the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station, thus adding shine to the feats of the young people.
