KCNA:Myongrung Tomb Cluster in Kaesong - World's Cultural Heritage
In Kaesong Municipality of the DPRK, there are three tombs called Myongrung tomb cluster. The tombs are located at the foot of a mountain about 1 km west of the Mausoleum of King Wang Kon.
One of them is the tomb of Hyon Hyo, the 29th king (1345-1348) of Koryo, and other two tombs are believed to have been built nearly in the same period as their architectural styles are the same with the former.
Constellations are drawn in the ceilings of one-chamber tombs. Their walls with mural paintings are made up of slab stones.
Myongrung tomb cluster helps grasp the process of memorial service in the period of Koryo dynasty through the layout of stone buildings at the royal palace and the structure of tomb chambers.

Admin’s note : did DPRK give up Marxism-Leninism?
When Kim Jong Il replaced Marxism-Leninism with Juche in the party rules and constitution, he wrote :
Dear Leader Kim Jong Il is clear :
1. Juche is a correction of Marxism-Leninism, mainly about the nature of man (the question of Kim is simple : yes we agree that consciousness is a product of a matter called brain which produces thinkings based on social pratice… But how does this consciousness influence the world?).
2. But Marxism-Leninism remains the best theorical doctrine and the first attempt at fighting idealism and creating a proletarian conception of the world, historical materialism.
3. Juche takes most revolutionary elements of Marxism-Leninism (the analysis of Capitalism, Imperialism, the anti-revisionist thesis against reformism, class struggle, etc) but removes the things that, for DPRK, led to revisionism (mostly economic determinism).
So the fact that, in 2016, Marxism-Leninism made a come-back in the rules is normal and is just a clarification of what Kim Jong-Il already explained. Juche is a new philosophy built as a continuation of Marxism-Leninism. See the preamble of the rules presented at 7th Congress of WKP:
And the first article :
When Kim Jong Il replaced Marxism-Leninism with Juche in the party rules and constitution, he wrote :
A creditable explanation of its originality and superiority will naturally lead to a revelation of the shortcomings of Marxism-Leninism. The workers in the theory anc information sector should conduct a profound study of the Juche idea and grasp its originality and superiority, at the same time as delving into such classics as Das Kapital in order to gain a good command of Marxism-Leninism.

The Korean Worker's Party reinforces Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il-ism based on the education of greatness, Kim Jong Il patriotism, belief, anti-imperialism, and morals. The Party opposes opportunistic ideological trends, including capitalism, Confucian ideas, revisionism, and Sadae-ism (homage to great powers), and maintains the working-class principles and the revolutionary Marxist-Leninism.
The Korean Worker's Party consistently maintains party construction and activities aligned with the people-first ideology. It thoroughly adheres to the class line and the mass line, solidifying the class position of the Party and the revolution. The Party does its part as a responsible and caring mother party by defending the people's interests, serving the people, and looking after the fate of the people.
And the first article :
The member of the Korean Worker's Party is a Juche-type revolutionary who devotes everything to the victory of Juche revolution and communism pioneered by the great comrades Kim Il Sungand Kim Jong Il under the leadership of the respected comrade Kim Jong Un.

Rodong Sinmun:Stories Born along with Regional Transformation 1/2
Warm Affection Pervades Every Nook of Factory
I am a blessed man who was honoured to meet the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un and receive his precious instructions when he visited our factory two times.
Recollecting with deep emotion those indelible days of my life, I can’t help being moved to tears by thinking that the respected General Secretary is, indeed, the benevolent father of our people, who is possessed of ardent human love.
Early in December last year, the General Secretary visited our factory nearing the inauguration.
Going round of paper-production process of the factory with accompanying officials, the respected General Secretary halted in front of the toilet paper machine and personally studied whether the safety railing of the paper machine process was secure or not.
I was deeply moved, looking up to the respected General Secretary who was so deeply concerned for a railing which ordinary workers use.
When he visited our factory again late in the same month, he mounted a footstool of the before-treatment processes of raw materials and measured even the level of noise while carefully observing the process of carrying heavy logs.
That day I keenly realized once again that the General Secretary is the benevolent father who devotes all his efforts to providing workers with perfect working conditions.

Pyongyang Times:Self-sustenance and self-determination
Self-sustenance and self-determination means devising one’s way to live by one’s own determination and efforts without relying on others.
The DPRK’s history of socialist construction is the annals of self-existence and self-support in which it has defended the Juche character and overcome all difficulties by dint of self-reliance.
The Workers’ Party of Korea has solved all the problems arising in the revolution and construction independently and creatively in conformity with the Korean people’s will and to suit the actual conditions of the country.
As the Party rejected flunkeyism and dogmatism and carved an original path for socialist construction, departing from the established theories and existing mode, a socialist state was built on this land, the one which thoroughly applied the principles of independence in politics, self-sufficiency in the economy and self-reliance in national defence.

Pyongyang Times:Factory steadily increases production
The Phyongsong Synthetic Leather Factory overfulfilled its yearly plan and produced hundreds of thousands of square metres of more synthetic leather by putting efforts into the modernization of equipment, readjustment and reinforcement and improvement of product quality.
The technicians of the factory concentrated on the modernization of its major production facilities in close contact with the scientific research institutions last year.
They remodelled the nonwoven fabric machine for heat deposition and drying furnace and made and installed an automatic blending machine of fibre, providing conditions to increase the production of nonwoven fabric 1.5 times.
The factory installed various control devices in the main production processes including the introduction of a new control device into the dry synthetic leather production process to further upgrade the integrated manufacturing system. In particular, it modernized a patterning machine and printing facilities, reducing manpower needed for them by half and increasing the kinds of patterns of synthetic leather which can be used for production by over 100.
The factory also directed efforts to restoring the original performance of its equipment to steadily boost productivity.
Its staff office worked out a detailed plan for restoring the original performance of the equipment and organized the work accordingly to enhance the performances of various facilities as they repaired and readjusted parts and devices of the dry coating process.
As a result, it obtained good results in the production of synthetic leather needed for the production of schoolbags, shoes, various kinds of sports goods and daily necessities.
It also developed and produced synthetic leather with a combination of various colours by relying on the advanced technology and further improved the qualitative indices of the product including tensile strength.
In those days enthusiasm for studying science and technology bubbled up and a mass technical innovation drive was intensified among the employees, resulting in the introduction of over 20 technical innovation plans into production.
According to chief engineer Kang Kum Song, many products including leather shoes made with the synthetic leather produced by his factory were highly appreciated by the visitors at several exhibitions held last year.
