For Bright Future of Rising Generations: DPR Korea

-The Future Korea Belongs to Members of Korean Children’s Union

We are marking the 76^th founding anniversary of the Korean Children’s Union with the song “We are the happiest in the world” resounding endlessly in the sky of the socialist Korea.

On June 6, 1946, President Kim Il Sung founded the Korean Children’s Union, a mass organization of the Korean children which inherited the valuable tradition of the anti-Japanese children’s corps, and he has built a kingdom of children on this land, bestowing on them the great love unprecedented in history during the whole period of his revolutionary leadership.

Chairman Kim Jong Il set forth the upbringing of posterity as the most important task related to the prospect of revolution, and found his happiness and pride in the happy smiles of our children, though he had been through cold wind, snow and rain on this land as well as all sorts of hardships.

When the country was in grim period, he made sure that the field colors of the Korean Children’s Corps flutter high at every camp throughout the country and made the sound of children reading texts and their laughter of optimism reverberate far and wide though the state was in a difficult situation.

His unforgettable love still touches the hearts of our new generation.

With the same noble outlook on posterity and future kept by the President and the Chairman, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un is now making tireless efforts to bring up our schoolchildren into future pillars of the powerful socialist country.

Holding up the members of the Korean Children’s Union as the precious treasure of priceless worth and the entirety of hope and future, the respected Marshal has provided the access to universal 12-year compulsory education system, built the highest grade of dandy schoolchildren’s camps, palaces, primary boarding schools and secondary boarding schools equipped with wonderful conditions and environment for education in every part of the country, and presented new school uniforms and high quality school things. Under such warm love, our schoolchildren are now growing up to become the strong pillars who would support and build the great country of people.

“Let us always be ready for the socialist motherland”; this is now becoming the unanimous aspiration of the members of the Korean Children’s Union.

That is why the numerous foreigners who visit our country express their feelings in great admiration, saying “People in the capitalist countries have no idea what kinds of benefits children in the DPRK are receiving from the state, and how the good model of love for posterity is being created.”; “DPRK is the kingdom and heaven for children. ”; “Nowhere in the world can be found such blessed generation like the schoolchildren of the DPRK where they are living as one family having H.E. Kim Jong Un as their father.”

There are no such schoolchildren in the world as our children who are stoutly preparing themselves to be masters and pillars of the country, giving full play to their dreams and hopes without any worry and anxiety under the great benevolence of the Party and the state.

The entire people of the country are feeling quite confident of the bright future of the country in the bright and high-spirited appearances of the members of the Korean Children’s Union who are growing up with nothing to envy in the world in the love of the respected Marshal for posterity and future.

-World of Fatherly Affection Engraved in the International Children’s Day

Today is the international children’s day, which is commemorated by many countries in the world to oppose all sorts of evil practices, safeguard the peace, and promote the happiness and health of children.

The international society has shown deep attention and devoted great efforts to the issue of children for more than 70 years, but numerous children are still suffering from poverty and destitution, and fading away, falling victim to violent crime and all social evils.

Recently, UNICEF and the International Labor Organization have revealed that more than 22 million children are distressed annually with all kinds of diseases including pneumonia with more than 800 000 of children under 5 years old among them losing their life, and that nearly 152 million children are forced into child labor.

Even in the Western countries boasting of the material prosperity, more than 13 million children are reportedly starving and the number of children in poverty reaches more than 9 million.

But a brilliant reality is unfolded today in the DPRK where the issue of children which was so much desired by the international society was resolved to perfection thanks to the great devotion of the respected comrade Kim Jong Un who is opening up the world of the most beautiful love for posterity.

Whenever the international children’s day comes around, the people’s hearts are deeply moved by the story of love for posterity which goes down with the cheerful and happy laughter of our children.

The respected comrade Kim Jong Un, considerate of the feelings of the kindergarten children without parents who would long for parent’s love, visited the Pyongyang Children’s Home on June 1, 2014. He gave them overcautious paternal love, giving a big hand to the singing children and doing the children favor, who asked him to stick a straw, holding out a yogurt box.

On this day, he said that we should take good care of the parentless children so that they can always grow up cheerfully and become famous scientists, athletes, artistes, soldiers and even heroes. He also made a promise that he would see to it that modern Baby Home and Children’s Home are built and that he would meet them again at the newly built Children’s Home.

When the respected comrade Kim Jong Un visited the newly built Wonsan Baby Home and Children’s Home on the international children’s day next year, he said in excitement that our country is the only one where the Party and state take full responsibility for the upbringing parentless children, that Wonsan Baby Home and Children’s Home are the witnesses which demonstrate the true picture of socialism of our own style which can neither be imitated nor made by capitalism, and that another asset for our children has been made.

Thanks to the fatherly love which finds the true worth of life and happiness in children’s laughter, modern schoolchildren’s camps, palaces and children hospital equipped with modern medical facilities are now built in the best places of the country and a new history of love is opened on this land where it has become a state policy to supply schoolchildren with uniform, school things and dairy products.

The world of parental affection marked with the international children’s day will be inherited forever, and the future of our children will always be bright and rosy under the beam of great sun.
