All Members of Society Called upon to Learn from Soldier Culture

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

   Pyongyang, December 6 (KCNA) -- The Korean People's Army is playing the role of a pacemaker in developing culture in the Songun era and the revolutionary soldier culture serves as a model culture for all members of the society. Herein lies the essential characteristics of the socialist cultural construction in the Songun era.
    Rodong Sinmun today says this in an editorial.
    It is the intention and will of the Workers' Party of Korea to make the revolutionary enthusiasm and militant spirit, optimism and emotion of the People's Army prevail throughout the country and help all the people become genuine creators and enjoyers of socialist culture in the Songun era, the editorial notes, and goes on:
    The soldier culture reflects the spirit of the present times, fixed faith in and optimism about victory in the revolution and militant enthusiasm, joy and rich emotion. It has served as a powerhouse as it helped effect a revolutionary turn in the Korean people's ideological and moral traits and cultural and emotional life.
    It was through the drive to learn from the revolutionary spirit and lifestyle of the People's Army that the Korean people emerged those strong in faith and optimists who cheerfully pull through any hardships and ordeals and the whole country was pervaded with revolutionary enthusiasm free from stagnation and standstill, hesitation or vacillation.
    The people can enjoy a worthwhile life as genuine creators and enjoyers of socialist culture when they always carve out a noble life full of faith in certain victory and optimism just as servicepersons do. This is the truth the Korean people have learned in practice.
    All party members and other working people should steadily intensify the work to learn from the revolutionary soldier culture as required by the era in which they are working hard to achieve the great prosperity of the country and thus bring about full efflorescence in the cultural construction in the Songun era.
    It is the greatest pride and honor of the Korean people to have such a model for the socialist cultural construction as the revolutionary soldier culture.
