The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un sent birthday spreads to Kim Un Hoe who lives in neighbourhood unit No. 22 in the county town of Sonchon, North Phyongan Province, and Kim Kye Hwa who lives in neighbourhood unit No. 28 of Tongryong-ri in Sinchon County, South Hwanghae Province, on their 100th birthdays.

After receiving the honour like in a dream, the centenarians shed tears of boundless gratitude to the leader unable to suppress their strong emotion.

Officials of the Sonchon and Sinchon county committees of the Workers’ Party of Korea visited the centenarians’ families to congratulate the elderly who firmly believe in and follow the Workers’ Party of Korea with vigour despite their advanced ages, sharing the happy event together with them while inquiring about the state of their health and their living conditions.

Overcome with strong emotions at the favour shown by the leader who considered the birthdays of the ordinary elderly persons important though he was quite busy dealing with a lot of state affairs, their family members said, “Our Party, state and society are the best in the world.”
