| Radio KOMMY, Pyongyang! Playin all the hits! Pyongyang, April 30 (KCNA) -- The people of the DPRK still love to sing songs of the five revolutionary operas created in the early 1970s. The five revolutionary operas are the immortal classical masterpieces "The Sea of Blood","The Flower Girl", "The Story of a Nurse", "Tell the Story, Forest" and "The Song of Mt. Kumgang". Okay, this one goes out to Kimmy in Pyongyang... The songs of these operas are all famous. ...or else. Among them are "Song of the Sea of Blood", "The Flower Girl", "Dear General, Where Are You", "Song of Women's Emancipation", "Lone Azalea" and "Tell the Story, Swaying Forest". They have been widely known not only to the Korean people but to foreigners for their profound ideological contents and perfect artistic description. Like, wow, man. We was, like doin tree bark and Kimjongilia one time and heard "Dear General, Where Are You" and, like, we saw Kim Il Sung! Saw him, man!! It was, like, really fucked up... "Song of the Sea of Blood" reflects well in a popular style the burning hatred of the Korean people against Japanese imperialists which turned the country into the sea of blood, their firm determination to revenge upon the enemies a hundred and thousand fold, their confidence in the revolutionary victory and their ardent aspiration after building a new society. Yes, I can think of very few times where "burning hatred" has been as "reflected well in a popular style" as in "Song of the Sea of Blood". What say you, Roger? In particular, "Dear General, Where Are You", the theme song of the revolutionary opera "The Story of a Nurse", represents the mental world of the heroine and servicepersons of the Korean People's Army who believed and followed only General Kim Il Sung in any adversity. It is thus loved by the officers and men of the KPA and people as a song of their conviction. Yep. We of the KPA listen to it ten, fifteen, twenty times a day. You do that, and strapping a twenty pound satchel charge on to jump on an Imperialist Yankee Dog tank and blow up doesn't seem like too bad of an idea. For drawing people into philosophical thinking and preserving rich national emotion and unique characteristics, the plain songs of the five revolutionary operas are the valuable ideological, spiritual and cultural wealth of the Korean people. ...and Radio KOMMY plays them over and over and over again. |
