‘Tremendous are benefits provided by the country for families with many children’
I have so far enjoyed much more benefits from the country than anyone else, because I have 15 children.
But I felt more deeply how great benefits the country offers to the families with many children when I suffered the unexpected natural disaster.
The country called me and my 15 children all together to the capital city of Pyongyang before anyone else and provided me with much more benefits than others.
Over a dozen children of mine were brought up healthily and strongly at the nursery and kindergarten so that I could enjoy a happy time to the full at the cultural and leisure centres in Pyongyang and scenic spots across the country.
During our stay in Pyongyang the country saw that birthday parties were given for my six children including the first birthday of the youngest on a large scale to the surprise of even their parents, various kinds of seasonal clothes and goods for children were supplied to us and we had hearty meals every day. Infinite was the love it had shown for me and my children.
When we returned to our home village, it provided us with the best house preferentially, calling us a family with many children.
Looking round the rooms brimming with the warm care and enormous benefits of the country again and again, I made up my mind to repay them by bringing up my children well for the country.

‘I’ve also become owner of a new house’
On the day when I received the licence for the use of a new house, I looked at my nameplate on the door again and again with tears in my eyes.
In the past I had failed to lead an honest life. As new fairyland villages took shape and the day of moving into new houses came nearer, I was unhappy with the thought that such a palatial house would not be allotted to someone like me.
When the ceremony for moving into new houses was held, I stood at the rear with drooping head.
But the country allotted wonderful houses to such people like me, who had not lived honestly in the past, without discrimination.
I am determined to repay the dreamlike favour bestowed by the country by putting all my heart and soul into filling the country’s granary with rice.

A family receives three houses on the same day
My children and I received three licences for the use of houses at the same time on the same day.
In fact, my wife and I thought that when new houses were built, we would live in the house of one of our children. But our benevolent Workers’ Party saw that new houses were allotted to us and our children in full consideration of the number of family members with motherly care.
We are farmers and have done nothing great for the country. And it is more than we deserve to receive a new house fully provided with all living conditions. But our family received three licences for the use of houses. I think ours is the happiest family in the world.
This time I’ve realized once again that as we are led by the Party which puts the people first, there is no one on this land who suffered misfortune, though it was hit by natural disasters.
