U Chon Song, a fifth-year pupil of Sangmae Primary School in Sariwon, North Hwanghae Province, took the platform before others at the Ninth Congress of the Korean Children’s Union, drawing the attention of everyone.

Moreover, he presented a bunch of flowers to the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un who came out to the venue of the photo session to have photographs taken with the delegates to the Ninth KCU Congress on New Year’s Day.

How could he have such an honour?

‘Bugler of the KCU’

Since he joined the KCU, U Chon Song has visited the statues of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il to clean the area, worked harder and took an active part in the do-good-thing movement.

Through the organizational life of the KCU, he grew in mind more than in physique and became discreet. He was elected as chairman of the KCU committee of the school in the third year and made painstaking efforts to do more good things for the country and socialist construction.

He recorded lots of stirring speeches and his own poems and sent them to major construction sites and posts for national defence, which were too far to go due to the lack of time, in order to encourage builders and soldiers.

Impressed by his speeches and poems, builders and soldiers affectionately called him a “bugler of the KCU” in their replies.

The voice of the “bugler of the KCU” had gradually resounded far and wide.

Upon hearing the news that the respected fatherly Marshal sent medicines prepared by his family to the people in South Hwanghae Province during the top emergency anti-epidemic period last year, Chon Song sent medicines prepared with his parents to the KCU members in the province together with a letter which called on them to remember the love of the respected fatherly Marshal and grow healthily as befit the KCU members by overcoming difficulties.

First step in the year of 2023

In the period of the historic Sixth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the KCU members also decided important matters for upbuilding of their organization by raising their hands and meaningfully greeted the New Year 2023.

At present, Chon Song is redoubling efforts to keep his resolution made at the Ninth KCU Congress.

He has sent hundreds of letters and aid and relief materials to working people across the country and soldiers of the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the Korean People’s Army, who turned out in an advance in the new year to carry out the decisions made at the Sixth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth WPK Central Committee.

He often recites lyric poem “I am the son of a worker” with special pride, and in his rousing speeches he ardently calls on people to make the socialist country, the world of working people, more prosperous and powerful, add brilliance to it and firmly defend it.

His speeches are said to be a great deal of encouragement to people in workplaces of his father, a worker of the Sariwon City Construction Group in North Hwanghae Province, and his mother, a worker of the Sariwon City Youth Theatre.
