First Visitors to War Veteran’s House 

Kim Sung Un, a war veteran, and his family live in Neighborhood Unit No.115, Sochon-dong, Sosong District.

On the morning of New Year’s Day, Kim was visited by some people.

They were Kim Chol Ryon, a teacher of Pyongyang Secondary School No. 1 and pupils under her charge.

They regarded it as their due duty to please the war veteran, who had been the first hero produced by aircraft hunters teams during the wartime, on the New Year’s Day, so they visited him taking tonics and foodstuffs with them.

Seeing those who visited on holidays and memorial days to sing songs and read poems giving pleasure to him, the war veteran felt as if they were all his grandsons and granddaughters.

So he frequently told battle stories that he and his colleagues shot down enemy planes during the wartime and delightful story that he received a congratulatory message from President Kim Il Sung for his merits, and when telling those stories, he would be liven up, feeling as if he had been in the forefront again.

Not only they but also many other people visited the war veteran that day.

The revolutionary former generation is indeed the genuine teacher and benefactor who hands down the precious mental heritage and material wealth to the coming generation, so they are respected in our society.

A Pleasant Day  

It was the morning of New Year’s Day.

The Unjong Health Complex in Unsan County was full of delight and pleasure to greet the hopeful New Year.

From the morning of New Year’s Day, the health complex was crowded by visitors.

At the gate decorated with colored tapes and buntings, Ri Song Ho, manger of the health complex welcomed the visitors with a smile on his face.

"Happy New Year! You’re Welcome."

The New Year’s greetings the servants of the health complex exchanged with the visitors overflowed with the great delight of life and ardent affection.

That day, they invited war veterans and disabled soldiers of the county to make them enjoy the holiday with pleasure.

Having haircut and beauty treatment and taking a bath in the health complex, the visitors’ faces beamed with joy.

Though the cold wind blew outside, the health complex was full of delightful laughter.

Songs Sung by Orphans 

Several people visited the Nampho Orphanage on the New Year’s Day. Among them are Ri Sun Yong, employee of the Central Physical Training College, and her daughter O Su Yong who handed over new clothes and toys they prepared for orphans to the orphanage.

They often visit the orphanage. When they visit the orphanage discuss the issue for bringing up well orphans together with orphanage teachers true to the intention of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un.

They spent the holiday together with orphans while holding a recreation party. They seemed like blood relatives of orphans.

Orphans and grateful visitors sang together happy songs at the orphanage wonderfully built thanks to the benevolence of the Party on the New Year’s Day. The songs reverberating across the orphanage reflect their gratitude to the socialist system of our country which deeply takes care of the orphans instead of their parents.

New Year’s Day in New Houses 

The whole country is full of delight and happiness and we visited the village of Chongun Farm, where excellent dwelling houses were built, in Songrim City.

Happy laughs and songs reverberated across the village to greet the New Year.

Agricultural working people were very impressed enjoying the New Year’s Day in the new rural dwelling houses.

Housewives were busy with preparing holiday dishes in kitchens.

The entire village seemed like a dancing hall.

The country built hundreds of new houses for ordinary agricultural workers and the owners of houses are determined to significantly celebrate the New Year’s Day.

Such happy scenes are displayed every nook and corner of the country.

Everybody can see similar appearances at the Chusang Farm in Hamju County, the Taeun Farm in Usi County and other parts of the country.

Indeed, such happy figures in new villages and dwelling houses are beautiful pictures which can be found only in the world of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
