In August 1951, the Third World Festival of Youth and Students was held in Berlin, the capital of the then German Democratic Republic.
Present at the festival was a delegation of youth and students from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Nobody expected that the delegation would come to take part in the festival from Korea which was in the midst of the Fatherland Liberation War.
The great leader
Kim Il Sung
sent the Korean delegation of youth and students consisting of war heroes, exemplary combatants, wartime labour innovators, students and artistes--more than 120 in all, to the Berlin Festival, saying it should participate in the festival and demonstrate the heroic spirit of the Korean people all over the world.
The Korean art troupe of youth and students gave a performance consisting of various items including the chorus "Song of National Defence", the group singing "Song of Scout" and the dance "A Woman Defending the Country", gripping the hearts of the participants in the festival and Berlin citizens.
The President of the then German Democratic Republic said with excitement that it was the most wonderful performance he had ever seen and that such an art could be created only by fighting Korea.
In the Korean delegation of youth and students, the world saw the Korean young people full of trust in their leader, confidence in victory and firm belief in the future. The world was also convinced of the DPRK which would rise up as a world's power before long thanks to the inexhaustible strength of the young people.
