The August 15 is a historical day that the Korean people terminated the 40 year-long cruel colonial rule of the brigandish Japanese imperialists and greeted a new spring of the country’s restoration.

On this historical day the Korean people look back with deep emotion upon the undying exploits of President Kim Il Sung, the great father of the nation, who liberated the country through the 20 year-long bloody struggle.

When Korea was suffering the destiny of colonial slavery under the Japanese bestial rule, the President set out on the road of revolution in his early tens, illuminated the original path of the national liberation in colonial countries with the brilliant Juche idea, the great guiding idea of the independent era, and energetically organized the Korean people into the anti-Japanese war to annihilate the enemy.

The anti-Japanese war fought against the million-strong army with neither state backing nor support of regular army, was unprecedentedly harsh and arduous.

The great President pulled through the manifold hardships and led the anti-Japanese war to victory with the Juche-oriented revolutionary lines, unique strategy and tactics and superb commanding art so thus realized the historic cause of the national liberation.

As the 20 year-long anti-Japanese revolutionary history of the President for the national liberation is a long march of ardent love for the country and people and infinite devotion unheard-of in any hagiology, it commands boundless admiration and praise of all the people.

Therefore, the south Korean people hardly repress their yearning and reverence for President Kim Il Sung, the benefactor of the national liberation.

The sincere mind of the south Korean people who hold the President in high esteem as the eternal sun of the nation is getting more fervent as the boundless reverence and trust for leader Kim Jong Il.

It is the rock-firm faith of the south Korean people that thanks to Kim Jong Il, just identical to President Kim Il Sung, they will greet for sure the day of the country’s reunification with shouts of jubilation as they acclaimed the liberation day 63 years ago.
