Only by Our Own Efforts
It happened when the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army had their activities in small units after Xiaohaerbaling Meeting.
The conclusion of the Neutrality Treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan caused ideological vacillation among some people who were not fully prepared ideologically but stained with flunkeyism.
At that time, President Kim Il Sung gave valuable teachings to his soldiers around him on completing the Korean revolution by our own efforts.
When we set out on the road of revolution, we had decided to make a revolution by our own efforts with firm belief in the strength of our people, not relying on others, and we had never dreamed about it, he said.
He continued to say that a revolution is, in nature, made by the people by dint of their own idea and efforts and it could be neither presented by others nor on the market and that we would advance forward more bravely under the unfurled banner of completing the revolution only by our own efforts no matter how the situation might change and no matter what hardships and difficulties might block our advance.
Bearing in their minds such priceless teachings of President Kim Il Sung, the guerillas were filled with a firm belief “Let cowards flinch and traitors sneer; we will keep the Red Flag flying here!”
