Books written by Dr. and Assoc. Prof. Kim Jong Sun

"The book is really wonderful." "The title of the book itself prompts me to plunge myself into the world of fast reading." "I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to its author."

These are the compliments of the "Star of Brain", an educational book on fast reading.

The book consists of five volumes--basic, mental calculation, memorization and reading 1 and 2. It dealt with more innovative techniques and data on fast reading training and difficult training programs. It is very convenient for the people who are desirous of fast reading as training and recording can be done simultaneously.

The author of the books is Doctor of Pedagogy and Associate Professor Kim Jong Sun who is called the pioneer and mother of the fast reading education in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

In her childhood she had a great yearning for the starry worlds and her dream was to be a star of the scientific circles.

After graduating from Kim Il Sung University, the highest edifice of science and education of the country, however, she became a teacher of Pyongyang Middle School No. 1.

The measures taken by the state to turn out stars of science to shine on this land enabled her to pull herself out of a boundary of individual and have a greater dream to train many stars of brain demonstrating to the world the intelligence of the Korean nation and the greatness of the country.

In 2006, Kim Jong Sun boldly started to pioneer the fast reading education. It was not easy to blaze a trail for brain development alone while teaching the students.

She was as passionate as fire. There were unspeakable agony and sacrifice, but she devoted herself to pioneering every step of the fast reading education.

who won the 28th World Memory Championships

In the 28th World Memory Championships held in 2019, the Korean students won 28 medals including 11 gold medals and 3 gold trophies.

Ryu Song I broke the world record in three events and Kim Su Rim in one event to be registered in the Guinness Records and all of the six participants won the "International Grand Master of Memory".

The President of the WMSC said: It is beyond imagination. The DPRK opened up the highest plane of the World Memory Championships. Other countries will not break the record of the Korean players for at least 10 years.

There is a saying that the merits of trainer are more highly appreciated than those of a talent.

But Kim Jong Sun doesn't want any fame. She says she is very happy to see her disciples making achievements in various sectors of the country.

She has set out on the road of pioneering another unknown world to reach the world of stars to be brighter.
