The Immortal Traces in Suphung

 2024.9.6.

The Korean people live in a powerful socialist country dignified with independence and are making ceaseless miracles and innovations in the revolution and construction. They are overflowing with boundless thanks and reverence for the President who provided a solid foundation for the independent national economy.

Chairman Kim Jong Il said:

"The validity and vitality of the line of building a self-sufficient national economy, put forward by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, have been clearly demonstrated in the practical work of building socialism."

October 10th, Juche 35 (1946) was a significant day marking the first anniversary of the founding of the glorious WPK.

That day President Kim Il Sung visited the Suphung Power Station and gave valuable instructions to be followed by the power station.

At that time, there wasn't a single technical document due to the destructive manoeuvres of the Japanese imperialists during their defeat, and the power station was operating with the help of a few remaining foreign technicians.

Saying that the Suphung Power Station was a lifeline and treasure of our industry and a precious asset in building a democratic, independent and sovereign state, he emphasized that the power station should be built as a strong power base of the country.

He continued, saying that the property of the precious people should be taken a good care of, he gave instructions on repairing the defective sectors of the power station and normalizing its operation by their own efforts.

He dropped in at the panel room to find out the foreign technicians who were mixed among the service personnel and asked the manager how many foreign technicians were present and if they were sent, he could not operate the power station.

The manager said that the Japanese imperialists did not teach the Korean people technology before liberation, so that our workers did not fully grasp the design and technical problems of the power station, so that it would be difficult to send them at once.

Looking round different places of the power station, the great leader said that we should train our technicians quickly and run the power station by our own efforts, and he also indicated specific directions and ways for training the technicians.

Before leaving the power station, the great leader earnestly told the manager that the Suphung Power Station should be operated by our own efforts as soon as possible by dynamically training technicians.

President Kim Il Sung said that it was a lighthouse that clearly indicated the road ahead of the working class of the power station and served as an inspiring banner.

With this significant day, the Suphung Power Station was put on a new leap by relying on its own strong technical force and could successfully carry out its heavy duty as a great power base of the country.

The Korean people will dynamically accelerate the overall socialist construction without nodding to any storm, regarding the line of building an independent national economy indicated by the President as a firm guideline.
