Volunteers and Hermits

Date: 25/09/2024 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source

It was reported several years ago that 33 156 young men and women became hermits in a capitalist country that year. In that country many young people gave up everything owing to various reasons like debt, unemployment, difficult access to education and failed married life and chose to live the hermit life.

According to a journalist who covered a place where they live, they stay together in a small and poorly-equipped room with no access to the Internet, telephone or TV. Moreover, they are not allowed to talk to others from 18 o’clock, and most of them do not want to do so.

A young man decided to be a hermit on his way to work. As for the reason, he said the rigid discipline and extreme labour intensity in his company drove him almost mad. Reportedly, there are countless hermits in the US and other capitalist countries.

When the number of hermits is daily increasing in capitalist countries, that of volunteers is rising in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

The Korean young people are creditably fulfilling their mission of vanguard of the struggle to build a powerful socialist country. Many young men and women volunteer to work at the major economic sectors. The number of volunteers reached more than 100 000 last year alone. The modern street of Jonwi with thousands of flats could be built in the capital city of Pyongyang thanks to their inexhaustible strength. At the inauguration ceremony of the street, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un met young men and women including a girl truck driver who had performed labour feats in its construction and highly appreciated them.

Recently, many young people volunteered for the rehabilitation projects in the northern areas like the city of Sinuiju and Uiju County. An increasing number of young people volunteer with a determination to exalt the brilliance of their youth by dedicating their youth to the country and people and thereby proudly recording their meritorious deeds as volunteers in their personal accounts.
