Orphan is a child whose parents are dead. The world people often call the orphan a synonym for misfortune and sorrow.
In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea those parentless children are living in the baby homes, orphanages and primary and middle schools for orphans.
One day, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Pyongyang Middle School for Orphans and said: I was told that ours has become the society of the parentless children as the baby homes, orphanages and primary and middle schools for orphans have been built across the country one after another. The orphans are not the parentless children, but the sons and daughters of the Workers' Party of Korea. I have so many sons and daughters.
It is his noble intention to bring up those children in the baby homes and orphanages well to be famous scientists, sportspeople, artistes, soldiers and heroes.
In the bosom of the benevolent father who shows parental love and affection, the orphans enjoy all happiness without any worry just like the children with their parents.
