It was one day in September 1951 that the country was in the Fatherland Liberation War. President Kim Il Sung summoned a chief official of the central committee of the Democratic Youth League.
The President said to him in a broad smile that he would have a lot of bottlenecks, but should overcome them, because it was wartime. And then, the President shifted his conversation to the dispatch of young people to Cholsan Mine.
Saying that youth labor force should be sent more to Cholsan Mine, the President told him that he would send about 20,000 young people immediately and then send more if wanted for all that.
He was quite surprised to see the President, as he was going to send to the mine not 1,000 young people but more than 20,000 equivalent to two divisions in wartime not the peacetime.
The President thought over for a while, saying that it wouldn’t be so easy to do it under the serious situation.
The President, however, sent a lot of young people to the mine, not the front, for final victory in the war and also forecasting the day of victory.
This was the great trust of the President in the young people who did not hesitate before the call of the country and people.
