Kim Jong Sun, wife of Pak Thae Son who was a hero miner at the Komdok Mining Complex, has recovered from her leg injury and become able to walk again after decades.

Ten years ago Pak Thae Son sacrificed himself to save a colleague from an accident and the Workers’ Party of Korea and the state, highly appreciating his heroic deed, have repeatedly shown favour to his bereaved family.

His wife hurt her leg at the age of three and got some treatment. She, however, could hardly turn over in bed and walk more than 1 kilometre for 35 years. Now she has become able to work in the workplace where her husband worked thanks to ten years of sincere treatment by medical workers at Pyongyang University of Medical Sciences Hospital.
