In November last year Kil Hwak Sil, a woman living in Ryongsong-dong No. 1, Ryongsong District, Pyongyang, was honoured with the Communist Mother Honour Prize.
Neighbours visited her with great joy, describing it as a happy event of the village and neighbourhood unit, and talked till late at night with her eight sons and daughters about their mother.
“A man, who does not love his native place, cannot love the country,” Kil Hwak Sil always told her children.
She planted trees around the village with her sons and daughters to implant patriotism in their minds and sent four sons to the army for national defence.
Whenever they joined the army, she put small bags of earth of their native place into their backpacks and asked them to always remember that behind their trench is their native place. And whenever they returned home after finishing military service, she was very satisfied and made up her mind to fulfil her duty to make them serve as real masters of the native place.
When her third son failed to settle down to his work, she got him back onto the right track, saying that whatever he did, he could achieve proud feats if he put heart and soul into it.
Her second son is also well known as a labour innovator.
His growth is associated with the warm sincerity of his mother, who got him to enrol and study in the study-while-you-work system, saying he could do more work better only when he acquired ability.
Today, her sons and daughters properly carry out the duties they have assumed for the country.
Looking at them, Kil Hwak Sil feels proud of being a mother of many children.
