The statue, People’s Prize winner unveiled in Juche 50 (1961), stands on Mansu Hill at the foot of Moran Hill.
The monumental structure consists of bronze sculptures (14metres high) representing a male worker, holding aloft the “Red Letter” from the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, and a female farmer, with a rice-sheaf in her arms, rushing forward on Chollima (a legendary steed—Tr.) soaring high into the sky with its wings spread wide, and a plinth made up of grey granite slabs.
The statue, which is visible from every part of the city, is known to the world as a monument demonstrating the heroic mettle of the Korean people and a symbol of Chollima Korea.
