Days ago, a significant wedding ceremony took place at a service facility in Songhwa Street amid blessings of many people.

Bridegroom Ri Hyok Chol is a worker at the Pyongyang Condiments Factory.

Several years ago, when he came back home after military service his parents had already passed away and his elder sister and younger sister were working at the Pyongyang Condiments Factory.

The factory has long since helped their lives both materially and morally.

Officials of the factory determined to play the role of their parents. And senior officials, workshop heads, work-team heads and many other employees of the factory have taken care of them as their real children.

Upon the news that Ri Hyok Chol was demobilized, they face-lifted his house and made him work together with his sisters at the factory.

Like this beautiful human relations of helping and leading each other forward prevail in our society.

There is another story about an aged Jo Kyu Sun and her grandson Jon Kwon Ung residing in the neighborhood unit No.34 of Jikpho-dong in Sariwon City.

Jo Kyu Sun was acquainted herself with a disabled soldier Ho Sok living in the township of Sohung County one summer day seven years ago.

Jo Kyu Sun saw the disabled soldier Ho at a bus stop staying to avoid heavy rain. Jo asked the disabled soldier about his address and gave her umbrella to him.

The disabled soldier refused to receive the umbrella for a while.

However, Jo persuaded the disabled soldier to receive the umbrella saying that she does not spare anything for the disabled soldier valued by the country, promising to visit his house.

Few days later, Jo Kyu Sun and her grandson made a long way to visit the disabled soldier. Since then their relations have become closer invariably.

The following is a story about a university teacher Ri Thaek Nam and his disciples.

Ri Thaek Nam, a teacher at the Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Pyongyang Han Tok Su University of Light Industry, has a lot of disciples. Among them is Mun Su Bok, who is winner of Kim Jong Il Order and a Labor Hero and doctor.

Mun Su Bok said:

"Teacher Ri Thaek Nam implanted our minds the Party’s love and the mind to repay it ahead of knowledge. Although dozens of years have passed since we graduated from the university, we respect the teacher devoting himself to teaching students so that they can go along the right way and become genuine revolutionaries conducive to the country."

This is the expression of not only Mun Su Bok but also many disciples who became senior officials, technicians and doctors. They frequently visit their teacher on his birthday and holidays to look after his health and lives.

It is the noblest virtue of true revolutionaries to discharge duties as disciples remembering their teachers.

Our beautiful human relations of noble virtues, affections and obligations can be seen only in our society where all the people uphold the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un as the father of the great socialist family.
