Pyongyang, December 11 (KCNA) -- The constructors of the Kumjingang Hungbong Youth Power Station are highly appreciated as models in the Songun era. Two years ago the government took a measure to build power stations along the Kumjin River which had been regarded as difficult one to harness.
The ground-breaking ceremony of the construction project took place on the coldest day in 50 years.
Seeing the construction corps formed with 500 people of various strata, the participants worried about whether they could carry out the huge project.
The builders, however, buckled down to the work without hesitation with a faith and grit that as the Party decides, so we do.
Even when an unprecedented flood submerged everything on the construction site, they redoubled their efforts to build dams.
People in Hamju County carried on their back earth and pebble that could be done by more than 960,000 10-ton- trucks.
Their heroic efforts resulted in the construction of a huge dam across the Kumjin River, a vast artificial reservoir, cosy dwelling houses and farmers' rest home welded with beautiful surrounding scenery.
Kim Jong Il provided field guidance to the power station in November, Juche 95 (2006). Then he highly appreciated the labor feats of the constructors, saying that they, who gave precedence to the interests of the country and the revolution ahead of themselves and their families and devoted all their wisdom and energy to the construction project, were pearl-like people.
The country will thrive by the efforts of such people.
