Along the axis of a broad avenue there stand cosy dwelling houses decorated in different colours as if a brilliant rainbow has come down on the land, together with the Jangchon Health Complex with various shapes and features of buildings giving fairy-tale-like feelings, ri hospital, nursery, kindergarten, sports park, fish breeding ground, other public buildings and neat vegetable greenhouses.
This is the Jangchon Vegetable Farm in Sadong District, Pyongyang.
According to manager Hwang Jong Nam, it was called “Jangchon” in the meaning that a spring of longevity is situated in the village since ancient times. But as its land is covered with red mud, it was called “Pultongchon” unfit for farming and abandoned. But, today, it has become a thriving village thanks to the benefits of the country.
Painstaking efforts and devotion of the peerlessly great men were deeply associated with Jangchon which is good to live in, he added.
President Kim Il Sung visited it, rain or shine, for several times in a year, in winter or summer and on holidays, walked along wet field lanes in order to bring a bumper crop of vegetables in the area where foxtail millet or barnyard grass had grown. Chairman Kim Jong Il always paid close attention to the farm which had been known to the President as an “empty-packet farm” on his pocketbook and carefully led it to do vegetable farming well.
That is why General Secretary Kim Jong Un said on his first visit to the farm that it is a meaningful place closely associated with the leadership exploits of the President and the Chairman with deep emotion and took benevolent measures to build vegetable greenhouses well according to the standard design and to give a total facelift to the farm village.
As a result, Jangchon has now turned into a farm, which is good to live in and thriving, by undergoing a sea change.
Green vegetables are grown in every greenhouse and field all the year round, thanks to the enthusiasm for scientific farming, and provided to Pyongyang citizens, and farmers can enjoy rural civilization in the new era to the full in their excellent houses and at public buildings. They are all full of resolve to return the favour shown by the country with the bumper harvest of vegetables.
“We will turn our farm, which is associated with the great favour of the country, into an ideal socialist land where rich soil brings a rich harvest and which thrives generation after generation,” said Hwang.
