Part of Disabled Soldier’s Family
On the war victory day last July, the house of Pak Un Bae, a special class disabled soldier, in Unha-dong No. 1 of Sariwon City, was crowded with many people from the morning.
They were his neighbors who had come to congratulate him on the occasion of the war victory day.
They were presenting bouquets to him, when Ra Song Chol, a worker of the North Hwanghae Provincial Railway Construction Station, and his wife O Jong Min came in.
Pak welcomed them, memories of the past days passed through his mind.
It was a few years ago when Ra got to know Pak in front of the provincial general hospital.
Then, Ra asked in detail where Pak lived and how his health was.
After several days, Ra visited Pak with his family.
Pak found that Ra was a demobilized officer.
That day, Ra provided Pak with daily supplies he had prepared with care after acquainting himself with Pak’s health and living conditions.
Thus, Ra and his family became part of Pak’s family. Ra took brotherly care of Pak on ordinary days, not to mention high days and holidays. Better still, Ra prepares aid materials with Pak and sends them to soldiers at the posts every army-founding day.
Pak keenly feels the benevolence of our socialist system and swears repayment whenever Ra helps him both materially and mentally although he’s busy with his work.
Laudable Girl
It was one evening a few days ago.
A girl saw three kids in front of the Pyongyang Grand Theater on her way home.
They must have been so absorbed in play and got lost.
The girl approached the kids and asked where they lived.
The kids answered they lived in Tongmun-dong No. 2 of Taedonggang District.
After a lot of calls, the girl managed to get in touch with their parents. She made up her mind to take the kids to their homes.
On the way to their homes, the girl bought the kids sweets and told them funny stories.
After a while, the parents met their kids and heard in detail from them what had happened.
The parents expressed gratitude to her and asked what her name was.
But the girl refused to tell her name, saying that what she had done was so natural. Then she started on her way home.
The parents felt a lump in their throat, gazing at the girl going her way late at night.
Later, they found that the laudable girl was a student at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature of
Rodong Sinmun
