Blessed by the great father, young people across the country vied with another in turning out in the posts called by the country, keeping pace with the young shock brigade members at the construction sites in Pyongyang.

Among them are graduates from a university of education who took roots of life in the area of Mt Paektu and youth league members who started to turn over a new leaf in pits thousands of feet deep.
