In the history of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle of the President
The President
"During the whole period of the anti-Japanese revolution I seldom saw a landlord who supported us in such a big way and with such ardent patriotic loyalty as Kim Jong Bu did."
In late August 1936, when President
When the President asked why he regarded Kim Jong Bu as a "pro-Japanese landlord", comrade Kim Ju Hyon, the chief of the detachment, heard that the old man had as much as 150 hectares of land, that he was intimate with the councilor of the branch of the Japanese consulate, that he was a frequent guest to the government house of Manchukuo as the head of forest conservation association and that of the rural union and that the telephone at home was a pro-Japanese evidence.
Saying that the criterion for distinguishing pro-Japanese from anti-Japanese is whether or not there is a spirit of patriotism, the President mentioned that all those who love their country, love the nation, love the people and hate the Japanese imperialists could join hands with us and, on the contrary, all those who do pro-Japanese work for their own pleasure and comfort, not for the country, nation and people, are the targets of struggle.
He said that he believed Kim Jong Bu, whom you regard as a pro-Japanese landlord, was a patriotic landlord not a reactionary landlord, and they should win him over to their side not overthrow and said that when the Independence Army was in high spirits in Changbai, Kim Jong Bu was the head of the Southern Department of the War Fund-Raising Association, supplied the Independence Army with cloth, food and other supply supplies and made a considerable contribution to the education of the rising generation, adding that he established a private school for children in Diyangxi village and gave them national education to instill the idea of independence and patriotism.
When meeting Kim Jong Bu's party, the President said that in order to defeat the Japanese army armed to the teeth and liberate the country, the whole nation should unite and pool its efforts and minds, and that all those who love the country should mobilize landlords and capitalists to support the People's Revolutionary Army, adding that Kim is a patriotic landlord who devoted his heart and soul to the independence movement.
At that time he celebrated his birthday and the Lunar New Years' day in 1937 in the secret camp.
The President instructed the operatives in the enemy occupation area to get white rice, meat, wine and other foodstuffs for his birthday and congratulated him on that day.
Kim Jong Bu, disclosing to the President the impression he had experienced during his life in the secret camp for more than four months, said that he had seen the communists with unpleasant eyes so far but communism of General
Kim Jong Bu helped the Korean People's Revolutionary Army in supply services and provided a lot of funds and supplied cloth, food and many other supplies. Kim Man Du, son of Kim Jong Bu, went back to Diyangxi and sold more than ten cattle from the office to make a lot of money, and afterwards, he went to the prefectural office to write a warranty, dragged more than 20 good cattle, handed them over to the Korean People's Revolutionary Army and sent them the sewing machine at home as aid supplies.
The conscience and patriotic deed displayed by the legacy and landlord like Kim Jong Bu made an indescribable contribution to accelerating the preparations for all-people resistance against the Japanese imperialists.
Kim Jong Bu, who had made a contribution to the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, was a patriotic landlord in the memory of our people. This was unthinkable apart from his noble patriotic idea and boundless love for the people and benevolence of the President, who had not forgotten what he had done for country's liberation in the past and he also regarded people as the owner of infinite wisdom and for them, tried to achieve the country's liberation with them.
