President Kim Il Sung, Benefactor of the National
Liberation
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.
President Kim Il Sung proclaimes the founding of the Anti-Japanese
People's Guerrilla Army (April 25, 1932)
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.

held in Pyongyang in honor of him (October 14, 1945)
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.
