Rimhung Street is a large architectural group formed through the second-stage construction of the Hwasong area thanks to the grand plan and tough executive ability of the Workers' Party of Korea to change the capital city of Pyongyang into an ideal city of the people and the greatest city in the world.
There is an apartment with a special name in the street.
It is Block No. 7-21 in Kumrung-dong No. 2 which is called a blessed apartment, "apartment of families with many children" as it is well-known for having a lot of families with many children.
Those families living in the block have their own prides.
Talking about the prides, people mention the names of Ri Kwang Hui and Ri Ok Son living at Flat No. 4 on the 19th floor and Flat No. 2 on the 23rd floor respectively.
It is because Ri Kwang Hui, mother of five children, and Ri Ok Son, mother of triplets, realized their ardent wishes all the Korean people desire.
They took part in the Fifth National Conference of Mothers held two years ago and had the honour of having a picture taken with the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.
Ri Ok Son said she only gave birth to the children but they are growing at the state expense, and continued:
"When I heard I had triplets, I worried about how to bring them up.
Nurses took care of my children at the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital.
I only gave birth to them.
At present, my children are growing at the Pyongyang Baby Home and my husband and I are living here in the three-room flat."
People care about the housing problem.
Those families with many children in this village were provided with new flats in Rimhung Street free of charge as they have many children.
Ri Ok Suk living at Flat No. 3 on the 15th floor said this is also a pride of those families with many children living at the new flats in Rimhung Street, and continued:
"Originally, we lived in Jonjin-dong of Rangnang District. The rooms were small but convenient to live.
As the children grew up, however, our house seemed to be narrower and we felt envy at new houses.
The state provided us with this three-room flat as ours is a family with many children. I could hardly sleep in the evening when we received the permit for the use of house.
My children, too, didn't sleep all night, wondering if it is dream or not.
It was unbelievable."
They proudly said that as they have many children, they were provided with houses, they can receive medical services preferentially, their children were preferentially recommended to vocational schools and people help them with their living.
The residents say in unison that theirs has become a well-known blessed apartment with a lot of prides in the broad Rimhung Street under the care of the grateful socialist system.
