On Jujak Peak

Our people advancing through harsh difficulties keep in mind the unchangeable truth that we can surely win victory when we live and struggle in the revolutionary spirit of Paektu even though enormous challenges and difficulties stand in front of the revolution.

The respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un visited the Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery on Mt Taesong in April 2022, on the occasion of the 90th founding anniversary of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army.

At that time he said that the anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters, the first generation of the Korean revolution, accomplished the historic cause of national liberation by overcoming in the do-or-die spirit the worst trials baffling human imagination with the transparent faith that they would certainly win victory thanks to President Kim Il Sung, the validity of their cause and the optimism about the future.

He stressed that the immortal feats of the anti-Japanese guerrillas, who established the great traditions of the Korean revolution shining along with the history of succession and provided the eternal foundations of our great state, will be conveyed to posterity.

He earnestly told that the revolutionary traditions of Mt Paektu serve as the firm foundations of our Party and revolution, the noble spirit to be kept by our people and service personnel forever and the most precious treasure that should never be bartered for any valuables.

How can our revolution victoriously advance uninterruptedly without any slightest stagnation and standstill despite the tempest of history? It is thanks to the revolutionary spirit of Paektu, the eternal spiritual asset of our country.

Indeed, the precious truth given by the General Secretary on Jujak Peak that day still arouses all the people and service personnel to performing fresh feats and miracles.

A Song Conveys His Noble Intension

It happened when the song "We Will Go to Mt Paektu" which makes our people redouble their confidence in victory was created.

One day the respected General Secretary told the accompanying officials that the song "We Will Go to Mt Paektu" is a good song encouraging the youth of rising generation to face blizzards of Mt Paektu, equip themselves with the revolutionary spirit of Paektu and take the lead in the struggle for accomplishing the cause of Juche revolution through generations.

At the moment, the officials recollected the meaningful instructions given by the General Secretary the other day.

A man should face the blizzards of Mt Paektu on the top of the mountain to understand the real taste and charm of Mt Paektu and then he will redouble his will to accomplish the Korean revolution. …

A few days later, the General Secretary stressed again that the song is a good song for all the people including the youth. He continued that when anybody sings the song he will picture Mt Paektu, the sacred mountain of our revolution and our people’s native place dear to their hearts, and keep in mind the stamina and spirit of Mt Paektu.

Now our people climb Mt Paektu loudly singing the song "We Will Go to Mt Paektu" reflecting the firm confidence and will to emerge victorious in the revolutionary spirit of Paektu.
