Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday dedicates an article to the 25th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "On Improving Social and Cultural Life." The work comprehensively expounds the importance of improving social and cultural life and questions of principle arising in lifting socialist cultural life in the country to a new, higher stage to meet the requirements of the developing reality. The author of the article says:
    Kim Jong Il has trained the People's Army into the creator of revolutionary soldier culture and pacemaker in the development of socialist culture in the Songun era. This convincingly displays the sagacity of his leadership in opening the heyday of socialist cultural life.
    With his deep trust and under his energetic guidance, the People's Army is setting the pattern of the era in all aspects of ideological, moral and cultural life, modeled on the fighting and living morale of the anti-Japanese guerrillas.
    The sagacity of his leadership finds concentric manifestation in bringing revolutionary soldier culture into full bloom in the whole society and striking illustration in seeing to it that the infiltration of bourgeois culture is decisively blocked. He set it as the main orientation of the development of socialist culture in the Songun era to make the whole society overflow with revolutionary soldier culture and is guiding all the people to follow it.
    Under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il, the army and the people of the DPRK are now creating and enjoying revolutionary and noble Korean-style socialist cultural life representing the requirements of the era and national characteristics, resolutely foiling the U.S. imperialists' ideological and cultural penetration. The army and the people of the DPRK sing songs of their own melodies and dance dances of their own rhythms, have their own way of doing things and live in their own spirit.
