Amid Blessings of Love
On June 6, 1946, a joint meeting of the children’s union organizations of Pyongyang City to form the Korean Children’s Union was held in Pyongyang.
Before all the pressing affairs for the construction of a new country, President Kim Il Sung attended the meeting in person.
Warmly waving back to the thunderous cheers of the schoolchildren, the President expressed his expectation that all of them would grow up to be the pillars of the future and bring this new Korea into full bloom, bearing in mind the great pride in having their own country. Then, he wished that befitting the treasures of new Korea and masters of new Korea, they all would grow up healthily and learn enthusiastically to become heroes to build their new democratic country.
The President repeated the expression “new Korea” several times in his few remarks of blessing, which was full of great expectation and conviction.
As though he was picturing the new history of our nation where children’s union members would become the masters of the future, the President, wearing a broad smile on his face, cast his eyes with great trust on the schoolchildren present at the meeting.
Amid such blessings of love by the President, the Korean Children’s Union, political organization of children in our country, was founded the year after liberation.
