Korean Central News Agency of DPRK
Ryongchon, April 27 (KCNA) -- The Korean people's spirit of guarding the leader with their very lives was fully displayed when there was an unexpected explosion at Ryongchon Railway Station in Ryongchon County, North Phyongan Province, on April 22. Upon hearing the sound of the heavy explosion on their way home for lunch, Choe Yong Il and Jon Tong Sik, workers of the County Procurement Shop, ran back to the shop. They were buried under the collapsing building to die a heroic death when they were trying to come out with portraits of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.
When the building of Ryongchon Primary School was destroyed by the violent storm and the classroom on the third floor caught fire, teacher Han Un Suk, 32, also died after bringing portraits of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il to a place of safety from the classroom and saving seven pupils.
Teacher Han Jong Suk, 56, also breathed her last with portraits in her bosom.
Principal of the school Choe Pyong Ryop and his son rushed to the accident scene and evacuated materials concerning the revolutionary ideas and immortal exploits of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il from the school, wrapped in fire.
Such noble deed was also done by Head of the County Nursery Pak Sun Mi and seven nurses including Jang Yon Hui, Ri Pong Suk and Principal of Ryongchon Middle School Kang Yong Su.
Many people of the county evacuated portraits before searching after their family members or saving their household goods.
