Faithful Working People
Kim Hak Mun, Head of the Automation Workshop of the Chollima Steel Complex, is a Meritorious Person of Socialist Patriotism respected by all.
His father worked as a technician at the complex for a long time. In order to make contribution to the increased steel production with science and technology like his father, he attended a university course through the study-while-you-work system. While working as workshop head via operation worker and senior engineer, he played a pivotal role in manufacturing and installing many pieces of equipment including the ultra-high power electric arc furnace. Over the past 20-odd years as the workshop head, he has made and introduced five inventions and more than ten new technical innovation proposals. Today, too, he always thinks and quests to produce even a ton of steel more.
It is his view and creed that his pace cannot be slowed down, his thought not be suspended and his creation not be stopped even a moment.
She finished her university course under the study-while-you-work system, received many certificates including invention certificates and contributed a number of essays to publications. She was awarded a doctorate by solving knotty scientific and technological problems for normalized production at the factory.
People ask her how an ordinary worker could become a doctor, and she tells them that though she lost her parents in her childhood, she and her siblings grew up happily, learning to their heart's content without any gloom and therefore, she strove to repay the benefits of the state.
They have turned thousands of hectares of heap of mucks into a thickly-wooded "gold mountain".
They are respected by the people as Meritorious Persons of Socialist Patriotism, as they devoted their sincere efforts and conscience, seen or unseen.
Thanks to such sung and unsung patriotic working people who love their work places and do their jobs faithfully, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gets rich and powerful and shines as a socialist paradise.
