Ryongchon People Move into New Houses
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK
Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- In Ryongchon, which had been devastated by a train explosion, 1,650 families have moved into new houses built after the disaster, amid deep concern of all the people of the country. The streets of the county are crowded by people -- old people dancing on trucks, women and children in high glee and passers-by sharing joy with them and a brass band rocking the streets.
Kim Myong Hwa, above 90, who said she was born in the area, told KCNA:
"When the disaster occurred, I was at a loss. I was afraid that I could not see my sons and daughters living a stable life before my death because the damage was very serious. Seeing the rising houses, however, I have keenly felt the strength of our country again. I would like to make a deep bow to leader Kim Jong Il for the nice house where I can spend the rest of my life."
Kim Ryon Song, chairman of the Ryongchon County People's Committee, said in an interview with KCNA:
"I am very pleased to see people moving into new houses and the face-lifted county. I, on behalf of the county people, extend deep thanks to all people throughout the country for their sincere assistance and other countries for their humanitarian aid for the restoration of the county."
