Upon receiving the birthday spread amid the congratulations of officials of the Hanggu District Party Committee, her families, relatives and neighbors, the centenarian expressed her gratitude to Kim Jong Un.

She had been subject to all sorts of maltreatment and contempt during the days of the Japanese colonialist rule. It was not until the national liberation that she could enjoy a genuine life. She devoted herself to the prosperity and development of the country at her workplace for decades.

She has brought up her children to be robust with a resolve to repay the benevolence of the country. She is respected by the villagers for still taking good care of her children so that they can dedicate themselves to fulfilling their revolutionary tasks.
