Motive Power
Korea was a colony of the Japanese imperialists for more than 40 years in the first half of the 20th century.
At that time, the great leader Kim Il Sung organized and waged an anti-Japanese armed struggle and finally accomplished the historic cause of the national liberation.
“Reminiscences of the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas” represent the indomitable revolutionary spirit and strong faith and will of the fighters who waged a bloody anti-Japanese armed struggle while solving everything by themselves without any state backing in order to take back the country occupied by the Japanese imperialists.
The revolutionary spirit of the fighters who brought about the national liberation by fighting despite all difficulties for the country and people is a valuable ideological and spiritual wealth to the Korean people.
The working people study the reminiscences in combination with practice, raising its practical effect.
In March last, the Ultraviolet Lamp Workshop of the Pyongyang Lighting Appliances Factory was faced with a task to establish a process for serial production of ultraviolet lamps till July.
It was a hard task for the workshop.
The workshop had to solve many problems such as materials, fund and manpower.
While groping for a way, the workshop head remembered the book “Reminiscences of the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas”.
He decided to infuse the workshop members with the fighting spirit of the fighters who did not know impossibility for the demand of the revolution.
He read aloud to them the article titled “Nothing Is Impossible for the Demand of Revolution” from the book “Reminiscences of the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas”.
…
It was soon after we moved to Sifangtai after burying even a few materials and imperfect tools in the forest of Yanhuadong due to the enemy’s “punitive operation”. So, there was no a piece of iron, a piece of wire and one gram of gunpowder except a few tools to be used in repairing weapons. To crown all, we had no place to work.
“How can we make 100 bombs in three days?”
It was difficult to make them in time even under the condition that we have all things necessary. But it was more difficult that we had to get tools and materials, avoiding the eyes of the enemy.
However, we never gave up.
We vowed to ourselves: “Nothing is impossible to the revolutionaries who are determined to do. If the revolution requires, we must solve all problems by ourselves, making anything we haven’t got and getting anything we need.
Let’s carry out our task as long as we have our hands and feet moving and our hearts beat.”
…
Listening to him, the enthusiasm of his workshop members got extraordinarily high.
New workers got to their job with confidence and skilled workers completed the production process while overcoming tens of failures.
Worker Han Song Chol said they could build the process for serial production of ultraviolet lamps in time as they turned out, keeping deep in their hearts the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners had possessed. And he continued:
“The fighters regarded it as the greatest honour of soldier and a pride of his life to carry out the orders and instructions of the great leader Kim Il Sung with success. They resolutely implemented any huge tasks and the orders of the headquarters without fail no matter how many difficulties they might face. Their revolutionary spirit encourages us to perform feats of labour today, too.”
Now, the officials and employees of the factory further intensify the study of the reminiscences so as to catch up with the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners in the ideological and spiritual height.
