Touching Story on Ordinary Day

It was an early morning some days ago.

O Song Byol and his wife Ri Mi Ye who live in Wolhyang-dong, Moranbong District were hurrying to catch a car in the street holding his six-month-old baby in his arms.

Because their baby was suffering from a high fever.

At that time, a passing car stopped and the driver asked them why they were in hurry.

Being told about the seriousness of the baby’s illness, people who were sitting in the back seat all got out of the car.

They offered the seat to the couple, saying that saving the baby was more pressing than their business.

Then the car brought the couple to the Okryu Children’s Hospital.

To the couple who were grateful for the help, the driver said, "I hope the baby’s fine."

At the hospital, they were impressed again.

The doctors and nurses of the hospital devoted their sincere efforts to the treatment, caring the baby day and night.

Thanks to their sincerity, the baby got better and the couple beamed with delight.

A Story Told by a Woman

Kim Song Chol, a disabled soldier, lives in Sinson-dong, Sinuiju City.

Not long ago, his mother told us a touching story.

The story goes as follows:

Six years ago her son was discharged from the military service, being a disabled soldier. Some days later, a couple called on her family to inquire about her son’s health state.

Next day, the couple visited again her family taking medicines and nourishing foods with them to cheer her son.

Since then, they have frequently visited him and also their children would call on him when they were busy with affairs.

However, Kim and his mother did not know their address and even names.

After a long period, Kim and his mother found that they were Ri Song Jin and his wife Myong Chang Sin residing in neighborhood village, Ponbu-dong.

It was her son’s birthday a year ago.

Unexpectedly, Kim was visited by the couple and their two daughters.

Kim and his mother were very touched when they knew that Myong Chang Sin hurried to return from sanatorium for celebrating Kim’s birthday.

Thanks to their sincerity, now the disabled soldier is in much better health and devotes his efforts to the prosperity of the country.

Indeed, the touching story told by the woman is a praise of our society in which all the people live in harmony while regarding other’s trouble as their own and helping each other.
