KCNA: Achievements of Speed Campaign Youth Shock Brigade
The Speed Campaign Youth Shock Brigade is greeting the Youth Day, August 28, with tremendous achievements in major projects. It has completed in the main the reconstruction on a modern basis of the Tudan Duck Farm, which covers an area of over 907,000 square meters. It is now giving a finishing touch to the interior project of the farm.Real baby ducks... Wabbits and Giant Gerbils coming soon... The shock brigade undertakes difficult and laborious projects for the socialist economic construction. Yep. The "economy" doesnât exist Leader Kim Jong Il organized the shock brigade in May Juche 64 (1975) and named it "Speed Campaign Youth Shock Brigade." Catchy... just trips off the tongue. Under his wise guidance, it has performed brilliant feats in the socialist construction by giving full play to the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and hard work to live up to his expectation. They even gave up tree bark soup (yummm!) and ate dirt during the speed campaign for the Baby Ducks Farm project. Thatâs the spirit! It built ten-odd revolutionary battle sites and revolutionary sites including Wangjaesan, Samjiyon, Oun and Hoeryong. Yes. Ten odd. There were no battles there, but that just shows how revolutionary the Dear Leader is! It also erected tens of monumental edifices including the International Friendship Exhibition, the Mangyongdae Schoolchildrenâs Palace, the Grand Peopleâs Study House, Pyongyang Department Store No. 1, the Youth Hotel and the Changgwang Health Complex. It constructed over 2,000 kilometer-long railroads including the Manpho-Hyesan Youth Line and Kumgangsan Youth Line, and the Youth Hero Motorway, carried out railway electrification projects and erected 49 major industrial establishments including the East Pyongyang Thermal Power Complex. They were augmented by hundreds of unemployed Hollywood PR types to think up the catchy names, too. Dwelling houses of the Changgwang, Munsu, Kwangbok, Thongil and other streets were associated with the labor feats of the young builders. Street housing, once again, weâre talking revolutionary. It has produced some 20 labour heroes, over 120 winners of Kim Il Sung Youth Honour Prize and 39,260-odd state commendation and order recipients. Yes, we have many, many medals. No food, you understand, but medals? Hey - we got shitloads of âem. The latest revolutionary idea from the Dear Leader is to make the medals edible. Posted by: .com 2003-08-27 |
