Lunar New Year’s Days are celebrated big in many countries as folk festivals since they bring us recollection of the past one year together with new hopes for the coming year.

Whenever lunar New Year’s Day comes, it is a common practice for everyone to enjoy the holiday with their families, full of optimism and joy. On the contrary, sadness of having lost parents wells up on this day for the children without parents.

But there is no discrimination between children with parents and children without them among the children celebrating the lunar New Year’s Day on this land.

Hereunder is an emotional story told with the lunar New Year’s Day.

10 years ago, respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, who visited Mangyongdae Revolutionary School on the lunar New Year’s Day, warmly said that he found himself here to meet the parentless children who would weep missing the great General Kim Jong Il, and that he would celebrate the holiday together with them, becoming their parents.

Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un visited the school, even putting off his rest of the New Year’s Day, to remove the shadow in the clear eyes of the parentless children who were yearning for the great General Kim Jong Il. Looking up to him, children of the school could see image of the great General who had visited the school in the New Year 1997 being exposed to large flakes of snow.

The look of the children throwing themselves into the bosom of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was just like being embraced into their long-awaited father.

Story of love told with New Year’s Day is also imprinted in the morning of the New Year 2015.

On this day, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Pyongyang Baby Home and Children’s Home. He warmly said he would enjoy the New Year’s Day together with the children, saying that he was so much eager to see children yearning for affection once he had wished all the children of the country brighter future in his New Year Address.

Not only our people but the whole world could hardly refrain from expressing high praise looking at the emotional look of the children who competed with each other to be embraced by him saying they looked forward to seeing him and saying proudly that a new palatial house built by Marshal Kim Jong Un is indeed to their liking.

“Not adults but innocent children are shedding unaffected tears following so faithfully their leader. These tears enable us to envision the future of Korea. DPRK is really the world for children. We truly saw the acme of love for the coming generation.”
