| Spirit of Defending Leader with Very Life Displayed in Flood-hit Areas |

| Ah, you knew we'd be hearing these heroic tales eventually... Pyongyang, September 7 (KCNA) &0151; The recent unprecedented heavy rains triggered off flood and landslide in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, causing heavy human and material losses. But that's not important right now... But the flood-victims directed attention to protecting the portraits of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il than their families. Yeah, it would kinda suck to live through the floods and then get shot for not saving the pics of the Kimmies... The torrential rains on August 9 submerged the township area of Hoeyang County. Over a thousand families there were evacuated to safety places. They came there, carrying not their properties but the portraits of the President and the leader. ...or else. They know the drill. Students of Koksan County School for Agricultural Skilled Workers and people in the county defended the picture of smiling President from the downpour. Here's a dilemma. What if ya can only get one? Who's it gonna be, Big Kimmie or Little Kimmie? Ri Chun Hwa, a worker of the Changdo County Clothing Factory, brought over 1,500 books carrying the images of the great men of Mt. Paektu, from the County Publication Circulation Office to a safe place through torrents of water at the risk of her life. One woman carries out 1500 books all by herself? I am impressed... Many people including People's Security officer Choe Myong Gil in Ichon County and teacher of Ichon Middle School No. 1 Hwang Myong Ok rushed in public buildings and dwelling houses without hesitation to save portraits, realizing that they would soon crumble. Among such people are peasant of the Jongdong Co-op Farm in Phyonggang County Cha Hyang Mi who handed over portraits to rescuers and went to the bottom of the torrent water, peasant of the same farm Pak Jong Ryol who lost his wife and child by landslide but saved the portraits and worker of the Ichon Foodstuff Factory Kang Hyong Gwon who firmly took portraits in his hands in flood though his five-year-old daughter slipped down from his back. Sorry, kids. It's you or me... After the flood, corpses were dug out of the silt. Found out in their bosom were portraits wrapped with vinyl sheets to prevent them from being spoiled by water. Too bad you can't bring em back and ask them if it was worth it... It is the just outlook on life of the Korean people to enjoy their existence, dignity and happiness in the effort for defending the leader at the cost of their lives. What an insane country. |

| #2 But the flood-victims directed attention to protecting the portraits of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il than their families. Anyone want to lay bets on who owns the portrait printing concession? Imagine how the death toll was augmented by people being forced to save worthless pictures instead of food or even their own children. This is just one of many reasons why Kim needs to hang for crimes against humanity. |
