Man of faith and will remembered by the country and people
In Thongil Street of Pyongyang, the capital of the Democratic People´s Republic of Korea, there is a bust of the indomitable patriotic fighter Ri In Mo who is well known to the Korean people as an incarnation of faith and will.
He was arrested by the enemy during the Korean War provoked by the US imperialists in the 1950s. He suffered in prison in south Korea for 34 years, remaining faithful to the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and to the Workers´ Party of Korea. He is a man of faith and will who showed through his life how a revolutionary should remain loyal to his leader and party and how to keep his pledge made before the party and revolution.
Ri In Mo was born into a family of poor slash-and-burn farmer in present Kim Hyong Gwon County of Ryanggang Province in the dark years of the Japanese imperialist colonial rule. He grew up experiencing the sorrow of an occupied nation to the marrow of his bones.
It was the anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk who led him to the road of revolution. Just after the Pochonbo Battle in Juche 26 or 1937, Kim Jong Suk came to Phungsan and organized a branch of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland. She met Ri In Mo and infused him with the faith in the revolution. Under her positive guidance, he worked as the head of the western section of the Phungsan Area Revolutionary Committee of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland.
He strove to expand the organization and implement the line of all-people resistance set forth by General Kim Il Sung.
In his reminiscences "With the Century", the great leader Kim Il Sung said:
"Ri In Mo is not a man who fell out of the blue. He was trained to be an incarnation of faith and will by the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland and the fighters from Mt. Paektu, who went through all sorts of hardships and difficulites to sow the seeds of the organization in every part of the country."
To Ri In Mo the fatherland was the leader and the WPK was the pillar of his faith. After liberation and during the grim Fatherland Liberation War, he remained true to the leader and the party. While working active as a war correspondent, he encouraged the People´s Army soldiers and people to the victory of the war. In January Juche 41 or 1952 he had a bullet wound and was arrested by the enemy. His cell in south Korea was five spans wide and 13 spans long and dark without sunshine.
The hangmen put him to brutal tortures to break his faith. Unbearable hunger and cold accompanied the daily medieval tortures, all sorts of appeasement and deception, despicable tricks and persistent threat and blackmail. The ordeals in prison were beyond description. But he could not betray the conscience of a member of the WPK, the native home and his beloved family members.
The pledge he made before the great leader and the party, special trust shown by the anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk and his ardent love for the fatherland made him strong in faith and will. He fought unyieldingly keeping political life given by the great leader and demonstrated all over the world the noble revolutionary spirit and strong will of the member of the WPK.
The motherland did not forget its loyal son even a moment for tens of years.
The great Kim Jong Il praised Ri In Mo who remained true to the faith and principles in jail in south Korea as an incarnation of faith and will and took measures to take him back home.
Thanks to his noble comradeship and lofty revolutionary obligation, Ri In Mo returned to the beloved motherland on March 19, Juche 82 or 1993.
Though busy, the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il met him on several occasions and bestowed every possible loving care on him.
Amid the deep concern and care of the great leaders, he enjoyed a worthwhile life as an awardee of the Order of Kim Il Sung, the supreme order of the DPRK, twice hero of the DPRK and National Reunification Prize winner.
After his death, the great Kim Jong Il had his bust erected in Thongil Street so that the whole country could learn after his spirit. The life and struggle of Ri In Mo teach all the Korean army and people the noble truth of life that they should not abondon the revolutionary faith though dead and then they can become final victors and will be remembered forever by the party and the leader, by the country and the people.
