Yang Hyon Chol is a driver at Rangnang Tram Car Station under the Pyongyang Municipal General Passenger Service Enterprise.
He wanted to do many things with a great ambition when he returned home in his early 20s after military service.
But he volunteered to be the driver of a tram car running along the magnificent Thongil Street in the capital city.
An official of the station praised his sincere attitude towards work, saying that he has ensured non-breakdown drive without a simple mistake in operation.
His tram car ran even on Sundays and national holidays. Looking at the happy passengers getting on his tram car every morning, he felt unusual pride in his job.
He kept his tram car more cleanly and repaired its breakdown by himself with spare parts he had prepared in advance.
He has covered a distance of millions of kilometres up to now.
In April 2022, his family moved into a luxury flat in the Pothong Riverside Terraced Residential District built by the country for labour innovators.
He said to his colleagues extending congratulations to him that he has only driven his tram car for 33 years.
Still today, he is running along the street of Pyongyang.
