One February day this year, An Song Mi, an employee of the Mangyongdae District General Grocery Store, was absorbed in preparing dishes of national holiday for the war veterans living in Kallimgil-dong No. 1 from early dawn.

She was full of delight picturing them to be glad though she was busy with making boiled rice admixed with four other staple cereals and nine kinds of dried herbs, etc.

Suddenly she recollected the day when she first came to know them.

A day several years before, she had gone to the monument to the revolutionary activities of President Kim Il Sung associated with the fork to Mangyongdae to clean its surroundings and had seen 10-odd old persons carrying the spring water of the President’s birthplace at Mangyongdae to major construction site.

At that time, An had been deeply impressed by their mental world unchangeable in mind for the country and so, she had decided to take kindred care of their health and lives.

Since then she has frequently visited their houses on holidays and even other days to show her sincerity to them.

An gave medical supplies and nutritive foodstuffs in the top-level emergency anti-epidemic period and visited the major construction sites together with them.

Not long ago, An and the war veterans went to the construction sites of Jonwi Street and the Kangdong Greenhouse Farm with the national flag of the Republic and aid materials to greatly encourage the builders.

Therefore, the war veterans in the dong kindly call An Song Mi "Our daughter".
