a heartwarming story from #rodong of love, labour and Juche amidst the Tram cars of Pyongyang #NorthKorea rodong.rep.kp/en/index.php?s…

'...Kim Chol Nam and Jin Chun Sim are husband and wife. They are drivers at the Rangnang Tram Station in Pyongyang. Unlike the others, the drivers of the RTS cannot afford to enjoy themselves happily on holidays and off days owing to their passenger traffic in Pyongyang...'

'...But the couple chose to drive streetcars of their own will and have faithfully applied themselves to their work since then. Jin Chun Sim was employed in the RTS and functioned as a conductress of a streetcar after she left her secondary school more than a decade ago...'

'...She determined to devote her all to enabling the people to enjoy our Party’s love for them and became a streetcar driver of her own accord. She tried her hardest to be a good driver...'

'...Sometimes she burnt the midnight oil joining the repairmen of her RTS to repair her streetcar to run it on a normal footing. Moreover, she did not go home after the day’s shift work on many occasions but went on with her streetcar service to master operational skill...'

'...Kim Chol Nam volunteered to work at the RTS when he was discharged from military service more than ten years ago. He was firmly resolved to serve the people devotedly the way he did so during his army life...'

'...Consequently, Kim Chol Nam and Jin Chun Sim were distinguished as model drivers. They got tied to each other by assiduity and finally fell in love with each other...'

'...The day they were united in marriage Jin Chun Sim told Kim Chol Nam that she would remain a streetcar driver all her life...'

'...Kim Chol Nam fully endorsed this. They did their best day and night to perform their duties well every day...' #NorthKorea rodong.rep.kp/en/index.php?s…
