On Remote Ridgeway

It happened on a remote ridgeway in Tongchang County.

A lorry loaded with aggregate necessary for construction was passing the ridge. It stopped due to an unexpected breakdown.

Its driver was very distressed because he did not bring the spare parts.

At that time, a passing lorry stopped and its driver got off the lorry asking "what’s the matter with you?"

Hearing the reason, the latter took out his spare parts and then helped repairing.

With the help of the latter, the former could repair the lorry at last, fulfilling his duty.

The former never dreamed of meeting the latter there a few days later.

The latter handed over the repaired spare parts to the former and left after saying that the spare parts should be always prepared for making a long journey.

At that time, the former failed to ask the latter’s name but remembered his lorry’s license number.

Relation Formed Unexpectedly

One April evening, a young woman called at an old Pak Pok Sun’s house to inquire about her husband’s health. Pak’s husband is a hero living in the neighborhood unit No.31 of Mangyongdae-dong, Mangyongdae District.

The young woman is Han Sol Hui, a doctor of the Pyongyang Municipal General Hospital No. 3.

The old woman (wife of hero) was glad to recognize her face belatedly.

The old woman recollected the happening in the hospital.

At that time, Pak together with her husband had gone to the hospital to treat her husband's lumbago.

But they arrived at the hospital around lunch hour and hesitated over whether or not to enter it.

Then, Han kindly asked them about the reason and took them into the doctor’s room to cure Pak’s husband sincerely.

And then she dropped in at their house on her way back home from the hospital to treat Pak’s husband.

Seeing her figure, Pak was so moved.

Since then, Han has visited their house, thus keeping a good relation with the elderly couple until now.
