A grand performance was given before the Monument to the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War on the evening of July 27, elevating the delight and excitement of the great war victory day shining as a symbol of the immortal honour and sure victory of the dignified Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The grand seat of education in the tradition of victory, where the sculptures of the first defenders of the DPRK are standing imposingly, was filled with the great pride and self-confidence of the victorious wartime generation who won a legendary victory unprecedented in the world history of wars and the successors’ generations who have carried forward the great tradition and demonstrated the indomitable, heroic spirit most honourably for more than 70 years.

When Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, appeared at the venue of the performance together with war veterans, all the participants broke into stormy cheers of "Hurrah!" and fireworks were displayed.

All the participants paid the highest tribute and glory to the great Comrade Kim Jong Un who is ushering in a new era of building a rich country with a strong army imperishable for all ages by dint of the most thoroughgoing succession and genuine revolutionary obligation, firmly carrying forward the spirit of the great years, which had consolidated the unshakable foundation of the DPRK at the cost of blood, as the blood vessel of an independent power.

Kim Jong Un and war veterans were presented with fragrant bouquets by sweet children.

Invited to the performance were veteran officials who had worked for a long time at the important posts of the Party, government and military and their families.

Members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee and other senior officials of the Party and the government were present there together with the participants in the celebrations of the 71st anniversary of the victory in the Fatherland Liberation War, students of revolutionary schools, Pyongyang citizens, youth and students.

Taking the seats were commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defence, commanders of the large combined units of the Korean People’s Army and other service personnel.

Among the audience were diplomatic envoys and members of missions of different countries in Pyongyang.

The sacred national flag of the DPRK was shown on the screen of the stage as the national anthem of the DPRK was played.

All the participants solemnly looked up to the national flag of the DPRK associated with the blood of the heroic fighters who brought about July 27 war victory, the noble soul each generation of the revolution has dedicated to defend the precious victory for over 70 years after the war and the eternal future of Juche Korea.

Starting with narration and song "Tell, Fireworks Display for the War Victory", the performers staged wartime songs, hymns to war victory and songs of faith that resounded in the years of succession.

Wartime songs including "Song of National Defence", an all-people song of volunteering for military service on the front and a marching song for annihilating the enemy, which made the whole country turn out in the decisive battle against the aggressors in June 1950, evoked memory of the all-people patriotic resistance that defended the dignity and sovereignty of the country and toughly frustrated the outbreak of a new world war on the front line at the eastern corner.

Singing the songs of life and struggle of the great heroic generation, the performers paid high tribute to the participants in the Fatherland Liberation War who set an excellent example in defending the country, the revolution and peace, as they held the outstanding leader in high esteem and overcame the most serious challenges and disasters soon after founding the state.

Looking up to the image of the respected President Kim Il Sung, an ever-victorious and iron-willed brilliant commander who gave shameful destruction to the arrogant US imperialists for the first time in history and put the DPRK's proud name and national flag on the position of a powerful country by leading the fledgling DPRK, the audience keenly realized that the miracles of July 27 are the most precious assets of the country which can never be bartered for anything and a valuable tradition that should be carried forward for all ages.

The performance reached the climax with the hymns to war victory "Tell, Fireworks Display for the War Victory" and "July 27, Our Victory Day".

After the performance was over, conductors and leading actors and actresses presented the war veterans with bouquets by reflecting the respect of all the performers.

Amid the stormy cheers, splendid fireworks were displayed one after another to arouse greater excitement on V-Day.

The wonderful fireworks gorgeously illuminated the indestructible sculpture "Victory" and the sculptures of heroic soldiers like confetti of respect for the victorious wartime generation who created the legend of the most just strength by dint of great faith and unity in the most fateful years of the Korean revolution.

All the participants renewed their iron will to surely build a thriving nation of Juche, admired by the world, by leading the eternal history of the revolution to the great victories with the invincible spirit of July 27 as a powerful driving force under the guidance of Kim Jong Un.
