Pyongyang, March 4 (KCNA) -- It has been 80 years since the Agrarian Reform Law was promulgated in Korea.
The law is the Juche-oriented programme for agrarian revolution that met the centuries-old wish of the Korean peasants to become true owners of land. It is also a historic land law that put an eternal end to the feudal relations of land ownership deeply rooted in the countryside.
President Kim Il Sung made countless journeys to the countryside to carry on the agrarian reform as the starting point of democratic reforms after the liberation of Korea.
One day in February 1946, he visited a village in Taedong County, South Phyongan Province. He sat together with the villagers and said that they would lead a happy life as owners of land as the country would distribute the land owned by the landlords to the peasants. Land originally belongs to the peasants who till it, he added.
That day he discussed with the peasants for a long time the practical issues arising in the agrarian reform.
In a remote village on the west coast, at the edge of a field in Taedong County, and in a village of Junghwa County and other farm villages, he acquainted himself in detail with the overall rural situation and the peasants' demand and confirmed the principles and ways for the agrarian reform and, on this basis, personally completed the Agrarian Reform Law.
When the peasant representatives came to see him with petitions for land reflecting the desire of peasants all over the country, he again learned about the situation in the countryside and the demands of peasants. He amended and supplemented the draft until the day before the promulgation of the Agrarian Reform Law.
On the basis of such preparations, he promulgated the Agrarian Reform Law that reflected the will and demand of the peasants on March 5, 1946. -0-
