People’s Years and Society

  The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea!
  78 years has passed since the word of “people” was written on the name of the country. Ten years are enough to change mountains and rivers and such ten years has passed almost 8 times.
  Looking around at the world, a lot of things were changed. But there was no change in the years of the people which lapsed under the national flag and the idea of people-first principle.

Wealth for the People
  Architecture is a criterion and standard showing the level of development of the times concerned.
  Many countries and nations of the world try to demonstrate their civilization and development through structures.
  The DPRK is carrying on gigantic construction projects throughout the country to provide the people with a happier and more civilized life.
  It is not possible because of rich and surplus things in the country but a fruition brought by the noble intention of the Workers’ Party of Korea that if it is desired by the people, it should be carried out without fail no matter how difficult and hard it may be.
  In recent years, almost 60,000 flats have been built in Songhwa, Hwasong and Rimhung streets in the capital city of Pyongyang and over 110,000 modern rural houses in the socialist countryside.
  Regional-industry factories, modern hospitals and leisure complexes, precious assets conducive to the improvement of the people’s living including the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm and the Samgwang Livestock Farm, and bases for cultural and emotional life were built in all parts of the country
.
  Those structures built across the country are different in scale and form. But all those creations have a common point that they are wealth for the people.
True Beauty of the Hwasong Area
  The Hwasong area is a block of city which has come into being in the capital city of Pyongyang in recent years. The name of its administrative district is Hwasong District of Pyongyang. The Hwasong area is still under construction.
  More than 40,000 modern flats have been built over the past four years and they were provided to ordinary working people.
  Worker Kwon Se Il at the Taedonggang District Building Management Station is living in People’s Neighbourhood Unit No. 76, Songam-dong of Hwasong District.
  His wife, a mother of three children, is working at a garment factory.
  They were provided with a flat well equipped with three rooms, a kitchen and a washroom from the state without paying a penny.
  It is said that they don’t feel any inconveniences in life as the residential quarters have schools, nurseries, kindergartens, clinic and all kinds of public service amenities and commercial service network.
  The couple are working hard for the grateful socialist system which gave such a wonderful new street to the working people as a whole.
  Paek Ryong Suk living in People’s Neighbourhood Unit No. 38 of Hwawon-dong No. 3 also has an unusual pride.
  Her three brother and sisters have become the owners of new streets and flats over a few years.
  Her sister was provided with a new flat in Songhwa Street and her family and brother with new flats in the Hwasong area.
  Several months have passed since they moved into new houses, but they are said to fail to sleep easily every night, feeling too grateful for the state benefits.
  The ordinary working people who have become the owners of modern houses and their bright smile make us think again what is the true beauty of the Hwasong area with modern houses built one after another.
  Our streets are so beautiful as they represent the genuine happiness and bright looks of the people.
  There are many flourishing streets boasting of their outstanding architecture and modern beauty on the globe, but they won’t be able to be compared with the beauty of new streets built on this land.
People’s Laughter Gets Louder
  People’s laughter gets louder everywhere in this country with each passing day.
  Some people are pleased at the modern houses they received gratis and working people are seen fully enjoying a new life and civilization at bases for cultural life such as the Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area and the Onpho Working People’s Holiday Camp.
  Seen at the modern industrial establishments and on the socialist fields are working people feeling a great worth and pride of labour and the children’s laughter and singing are heard from the schools, nurseries, kindergartens, baby homes and orphanages across the country.
  Laughter is something that cannot be forced.
                       *                         *
  Every day is passed for the sake of the people in this country, which holds the people in high esteem and gives them all happiness. Herein lie the true feature of socialist Korea and the superiority peculiar to the DPRK.
  The Korean people ardently love socialism. That is why the DPRK is so strong.
