Pyongyang Times:Revolution in construction a process of cultural revolution

Thanks to the Workers’ Party of Korea's plan and energetic guidance to provide the people with better welfare, a revolution in construction has been brought about and the entities of socialist civilization are mushrooming in the DPRK.

The revolution in construction we carry out is a worthwhile undertaking to create the wealth of the country and, at the same time, a process of the cultural revolution.

This revolution, aimed at creating material wealth by setting new standards and making new innovations in the whole course of construction including architectural design, is not simply the work of setting and enforcing new formative and technical standards of construction.

It leads the people to civilization in the new era and enables them to raise their cultural level.

People’s cultured living environment cannot be improved without construction.

Seeing all the structures, including modern dwelling houses and new villages, mushrooming in the capital and provinces, the people keenly realize the height of civilization intended by the Party.

Through the construction process, builders themselves become creators of new culture and new civilization as they actively introduce advanced construction methods.

When the splendid bases for cultural life are built in cities and counties, bases for regional development, and all the regional people possess rich emotional feelings and cultural attainments, leading a life in good health under excellent conditions and environment, great progress will be made in the work for achieving cultural progress in the provinces.

-Ri Yong Ho, section chief of Pyongyang University of Architecture

Admin’s note: DPRK uses the term "Cultural Revolution" not in the same way as China and Albania historically did.

DPRK uses it to mean a change of life standards, education, healthcare, housing... What Albania and China called "Cultural Revolution", a country-wide class struggle against capitalist elements of the mentality and society, is named "Ideological Revolution" in DPRK.

Reminder that DPRK regards three revolutions, technical, ideological and cultural, as means to build socialism.

This follows the sentence of Lenin:

Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country

Soviet power means the dictatorship of prolerariat (which is the height of class struggle and repression of the enemies, combined with construction of socialism, to create a society without classes), electrification means the development of productive forces (to create a society of abundance without commodity production and money). Kim Il Sung declared that the important part of this quote is "Soviet Power" and so ideological/cultural revolution.

Admin’s note: Koryo medicine is traditional one used by DPRK, as a patriotic way.

DPRK has as its goal a combination of tradition and modernity, and wants to integrate modern sciences without denying the National culture.

KCNA:Crimes of Japanese Imperialists, Sworn Enemy of Korean People

Japan's history is woven with crimes against the Korean people. It launched aggression on Korea hundreds of years ago.

After occupying Korea in a brigandish way, the Japanese imperialists inflicted untold pain and misfortune upon the Korean people, working hard to realize their aggressive daydream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

History discloses the crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists, the sworn enemy of the Korean people. The unethical crimes are so hideous that they can never be pardoned.

 
Japs Commit Massacre and Plunder in Imjin War
 
Japan ignited a war of aggression on Korea with more than 200 000 troops in 1592 (Imjin Year).

This was the first state-sponsored criminal act committed by Japan against Korea.

In this war, called the Imjin Patriotic War on the part of the Korean people, the Japanese murderers saliently revealed their brutality.

Spearheaded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who took power by force of arms, the Japanese murderers brutally killed the Korean people everywhere, gouging their eyes out and chopping their heads to be hung before their military encampments.

According to data available, the Japanese aggressors killed more than 113 300 Koreans during the second invasion. If the number of Koreans massacred in various regions during the first invasion is added, the number amounts to hundreds of thousands.

During the war, the Japanese aggressors cut off many Koreans' limbs, buried them alive and burned them to death, while getting hell-bent on plunder and destruction.

They indiscriminately plundered and destroyed famous pottery and other cultural assets of Korea and forcibly took potters to Japan. They kidnapped not only talented persons in various fields such as Confucian scholar, doctor, architect, painter and printer but also ordinary people.

The Imjin Patriotic War ended in a crushing defeat of Japan in 1598 for the death-defying resistance of the Koreans, but the Korean people sustained great suffering for a long time because of the ensuing shortage of talents and the lack of labour force.

The atrocities committed by the Japanese aggressors during the Imjin Patriotic War are a hideous state-sponsored crime that can never go with impunity.

Voice of Kore:Bowing to Educators

 The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited Kim Chaek University of Technology on September 28, 2018 on the occasion of its 70th founding anniversary.
(…)
When the photo session was over, he moved to a place where he could see all the teachers and researchers and bowed to them time and again.

The venue of the photo session was wrapped in a deep emotion at that time, Researcher Tokgo Chol Nam at the Academy of Social Sciences said and continued:

  It was their unanimous mind to express thanks to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who had had Mirae Scientists Street built on the bank of the picturesque Taedong River and provided educators of the university with modern dwellings.
  However, he had a photo session with them on the occasion of the 70th founding anniversary of the university and bowed to them. Words failed to express their feelings.

The bow Kim Jong Un made to the teachers and researchers was a respect for the educators who are developing the country.
