Happiness of a Woman Worker
Ri Yon Suk at the Pyongyang Bag Factory is one of those who were honoured to meet him twice.
The Pyongyang Bag Factory is a parent and model factory producing "Sonamu"-trademarked bags for schoolchildren, the future of the country.
Ri Yon Suk is 41 this year. She remembers the unforgettable day in January 2017 when
That day he said how good it is to provide the schoolchildren with bags made with domestic raw and other materials, and had a photo taken with the employees of the factory.
Since the day, Ri Yon Suk has worked with the pride and honour of a machinist and regarded the bags she completed as a precious treasure.
She has made hundreds of thousands of schoolbags over the past nine years.
Nevertheless, the children carrying the "Sonamu"-trademarked schoolbags, parents helping their kids shoulder the bags every day and teachers do not know all about the efforts of the producers who devote their sincerity to those small bags.
Ri Yon Suk had the honour of having a photo taken with him again on January 2, 2025 on the occasion of the significant New Year.
She often says she feels as if she was dreaming to think of the happy moments when she met him as an ordinary woman producing schoolbags.
Keeping her honour deep in her mind, she is working hard to glorify her genuine life.
