　Pyongyang, July 26 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, visited the Sinchon Class Education House, a base of anti-imperialist class education, on July 24.

　He was accompanied by members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee and other senior officials of the Party, government and armed forces organs, chief secretaries of the provincial Party committees and leading officials of ministries and national agencies.

　The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un went round the exhibition rooms of the house, the tombs of 400 mothers and 102 children, the air-raid shelter of the former county Party committee, the gunpowder storehouse and other places.

　Seeing the exhibits and traces that still make the bloody outcry in the tragic years pierce the visitors’ hearts, he said that the bitter death and harsh sufferings our people were forced to experience in the three years of the war would never fade away or can never be forgotten even after the lapse of decades and the change of generations, and continued:

　If the work of intensifying anti-imperialist class education is delayed or neglected even for a moment, the people’s revolutionary and class consciousness will become benumbed and their outlook on the target of the revolution and the arch enemy blurred. As the revolution is a long-term cause which is never accomplished in one or two generations but continues through generations, the issue of steadfastly carrying forward the baton of class struggle is an important and urgent task directly linked with the destiny of the country and the future of the revolution.

　We should never forget the painful lesson of Sinchon even for a moment the more dynamically socialism of our own style advances and the more highly the spirit of prosperity prevails on this land. This is an indelible blood stain and a history of sufferings. The Sinchon Class Education House serves as all that shows why we must grow stronger and why we must surely become stronger.

　Our people shouted “Long live the Workers’ Party of Korea!” to the last in defiance of the enemy’s brutal atrocities and outrages. As there were such unyielding and indomitable people, our country could win the great victory in the war unprecedentedly harsh in the world history of wars and get to where we are today by overcoming all the challenges of history. If we are not to be subjected again to the tragedy of Sinchon, we should have a powerful strength striking fear into the enemy and carry forward as our lifeline the immutable truth that an independent life and future is guaranteed by developing in every way the most powerful self-defence capacity.

　Only when our people and service personnel are fully prepared to be defenders of the revolution and vanguard fighters of the class, who are always conscious of their class origin in the hot wind of class education, can the history and tradition of great victory in the war be firmly inherited as a national trait unique to our state.

　Stressing the need to further intensify class education at present, Kim Jong Un indicated the tasks to this end.

　He met Ju Sang Won, honorary curator of the class education house, who has been defending the position of class education for decades as a man who experienced and witnessed the grudge.

　Expressing belief that the lecturers in the field of class education, the defenders and disseminators of the revolutionary ideas of our Party, would firmly defend the outpost of class education in the future, too, always being aware of the importance of their duty, he had a photo taken with officials, lecturers and employees of the Sinchon Class Education House.

　The leading officials of the Party, government and armed forces organs hardened their resolve to fully discharge their important mission and duty in the responsible work for consolidating our revolutionary position and class position in every way by cherishing the immutable truth of the class warfare more deeply implanted by Kim Jong Un.
