She dedicated herself heart and soul to the cause of national liberation and the victory of the revolution. She protected the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung at the risk of her own life and ensured that the Korean revolution advanced victoriously under his leadership. With her uncommon intelligence, unbreakable will and outstanding ability to lead people, she assisted Kim Il Sung in winning the great war against the Japanese aggressors, and made a pre-eminent con- tribution to the building of a new country. Kim Jong Suk was a revolutionary paragon of love for her comrades and the people, the spirit of devoted service for them, and thrift and simplicity. In the years of raging battle against the Japanese, she brought up Kim Jong Il to carry forward the Juche revolutionary cause pioneered by Kim Il Sung. For her noble ideology and her imperishable revolutionary achievements for the country and the people, Kim Jong Suk will live eternally in the minds of the Korean people as Kim Il Sung's bodyguard, as an anti-Japanese war heroine, as a pre-eminent political worker and as a great mother of the revolution. Her name shines brilliantly in the modern history of Korea. On the 85th anniversary of her birth, we are proud to publish ªKim Jong Suk, Biographyº. December Juche 91 (2002) CONTENTS 1.

BRINGING UP HER SON AS KIM IL SUNG'S SUCCESSOR Rearing Young Kim Jong Il as the Son of Mt. Paektu Though He Was the Son of Kim Il Sung 1. GROWING UP AMID HARDSHIPS CHILDHOOD Kim Jong Suk was born of peasant parents, Kim Chun San and O Ssi, at Osan-dong, Hoeryong Sub-county, Hoeryong County, (now Tongmyong-dong, Hoeryong City), North Hamgyong Province, on December 24, Juche 61 (1917). Her family had moved from place to place, being mistreated and exploited by landowners. In 1895, in her grandfather's time, they had set- tled down in Hoeryong. Here, too, they had to live in poverty as share- croppers. After her grandfather's death, they became worse off, under the burden of increasing debts, because her father, the pillar of the family, was frequently away from home working for the independence movement. Just before Kim Jong Suk was born, the family, unable to pay back its debts, lost its share-cropping land and its thatched cottage was pulled down. They had to live in a room in another family's house on Osan Hill. After passing the winter in the borrowed room, her father built a lean- to that adjoined the room. Kim Jong Suk was born in the lean-to. The Japanese imperialists, who had occupied Korea, resorted to military rule, shooting, burning or burying innocent Koreans alive. The Koreans suffered all these atrocities, and the whole country was reduced to a prison. The people's wailing over the loss of national sovereignty reverberated everywhere, and the blood of Koreans soaked their own land. The Korean people stood up to fight against the Japanese. In these years of national suffering, Kim Jong Suk's family also fought bravely against the Japanese aggressors, for the country and the people. Her grandfather had participated in a peasant uprising against Korea's feudal rulers, but the patriotic cause failed, and he died in 1908. Her father was engaged in the independence movement against the Japanese for many years, crossing and recrossing the Tuman River (that flows between Korea and ChinaÐTr.). The patriot died in a foreign land in 1929. Her mother helped her husband in his patriotic struggle, bringing up her children to be patriots and revolutionaries. She was killed by Japanese ªpunitiveº troops in July 1932. Kim Jong Suk's elder brother Kim Ki Jun was an efficient underground operative. He was killed by the enemy in 1934 while fighting to carry out Kim Il Sung's Juche-oriented revolutionary line. Her younger brother Kim Ki Song was a member of the Children's Corps (CC), and was also unfailingly loyal to Kim Il Sung. The young revolutionary fighter laid down his life in the struggle for the country's liberation. This patriotic and revolutionary family background motivated Kim Jong Suk from her early years to grow up into a great revolutionary. Her early years were spent in Hoeryong. Although the town had long been known as a scenic place, she had no opportunity to romp and play. She had to learn to pick herbs, glean and weed with a hoe, the handle of which was stained with her mother's sweat, not how to play housekeeping. Her mother, despite her poverty, always taught her children respect for morals. From her childhood, Kim Jong Suk gave thought more to the welfare of her parents and brothers, and her neighbours than to herself. Once, while fetching water from a well for her mother working in a field, she tripped over a stone and broke the earthenware jar, which her mother had brought with her as part of her dowry. A few days later, she called at the local kiln, which hired village women for temporary work and paid them with earthenware jars. Kim Jong Suk, however, was too young to get a job there. Regretfully turning away, she saw that one of the women working there had a crying baby on her back. Feeling pity for the woman, she took the baby from its mother and cared for it till noon. When the work was over, the shop-owner gave a few earthenware vessels to each of the women. The baby's mother came over to Kim Jong Suk, thanked her sincerely, and offered her an earthenware jar. The small jar is still preserved in the kitchen of her old home in Hoeryong. Unable to pay back the accumulated debts, Kim Jong Suk's family was forced to give up share-cropping. To make matters worse, the police harassed her family frequently because of her father who was working for the independence of the country. Deprived of their livelihood in the homeland, her family crossed the Tuman River into China in the spring of 1922. Aboard the ferry, Kim Jong Suk gazed in tears at her dear hometown as it faded into the distance. In recollection of the sad event, she said in later years: ªI never lost the memory of my hometown after I left it. At every moment of joy or sorrow, fighting under the General's command, I thought of my hometown Hoeryong. When on a march or in battle, I felt a little easier, but whenever I looked up at the moon shining on the camp in the forest, the trees, grass and pebbles of Hoeryong swam before my eyes.º Her family took up residence at Beigou, Yanji County, Northeast China. They moved into a deserted hut, and began share-cropping once more. All the family worked hard, but they could not keep the wolf from the door. Although they were poverty-stricken, as they had been in Hoeryong, they always lived in harmony. All her neighbours respected this family, the members of which were hard working and good-natured. Kim Jong Suk, though still a child, worked in the field with her mother and her elder brother by day, and made thread from flax and wove cloth at night by the light of a pine torch.

Here, Japanese technocrats demarcated the borderlands through categories of ethnicity and livelihood. At the center of this endeavor was the perceived problem of nomadic decline: the loss of the region’s deep history of transhumance to Chinese agricultural expansion and capitalist extraction.

  • Military Transformation on the Korean Peninsula: Technology Versus Geography
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Military Transformation on the Korean Peninsula: Technology Versus Geography Being a Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Hull By Soon Ho Lee BA, Sungkyunkwan University, Republic of Korea, 2004 MA, The University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, 2005 MRes, King’s College London, United Kingdom, 2006 1 Acknowledgement I am the most grateful to my Supervisor Dr. David Lonsdale for his valuable academic advice and support during the long PhD journey. To reach this stage, I have had invaluable support from my family back in Korea and my dear wife Jin Heon. I would also like to thank my family for being so patient while I was researching. During this journey, I have obtained a precious jewel in my daughter, Da Hyeon. I will pray for you all my life. I would like to give special thanks to my late grandfather who gave me the greatest love, and taught me the importance of family. 2 Thesis Summary This thesis provides an explanation of one RMA issue: the effectiveness of contemporary military technology against tough geography, based upon case studies in the Korean peninsula. The originality of the thesis is that it will provide a sound insight for potential foes’ approach to the dominant US military power (superior technology and sustenance of war). The North Korean defence strategy – using their edge in geography and skill – tried to protect themselves from the dominant US power, but it may be impossible to deter or defeat them with technological superiority alone.

It seemed a turning point. The spectacular failure of the free market ideas that had dominated public policy for a generation seemed at last to have run their course. It seemed a time of reckoning. Surely the catastrophic costs of these policies would call down the reforms needed to curtail the criminal excesses of a system that had brought the global economy to the brink of ruin. The yearning for change that had propelled the election of a charismatic and still youthful president seemed a propitious omen for the pursuit of a vigorous and pro- gressive agenda that would finally address the grave faults of an economic and polit- ical system that had lost all legitimacy.

The Japanese Empire was a transnational one and one that existed during a time of increasing internationalism. In the field there has not been as much attention to the role that Pan-Asianism has played in the foreign relations of Japan. I will study this by using English language Pan-Asianist texts as well as Japanese governmental and semi- governmental publication cross-referenced with United States Department of State archive to see the effect of such texts on the ideology. The effect was usually negligible, but the reasons and avenue that it was pursued may be even more important and interesting. The focus is on the time period from 1931 until 1934 because that it when the massive changes occurred in Japan within a rapidly changing international environment.

  • Timeline for World War II — Japan
    Unit 5: Crisis and Change Lesson F: The Failure of Democracy and Return of War Student Resource: Timeline for World War II — Japan Timeline for World War II — Japan Pre-1920: • 1853: American Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Tokyo harbor and forced the Japanese to allow trade with U.S. merchants with threat of military action. • 1858: Western nations forced Japan to sign the Unequal Treaties. These articles established export and import tariffs and the concept of "extraterritoriality" (i.e., Japan held no jurisdiction over foreign criminals in its land. Their trials were to be conducted by foreign judges under their own nation's laws). Japan had no power to change these terms. • 1868: Japan, in an effort to modernize and prevent future Western dominance, ousted the Tokugawa Shogunate and adopted a new Meiji Emperor. The next few decades saw rapid and successful industrialization during the Meiji Restoration. • 1899: With newly gained power from recent industrialization, Japan successfully renegotiated aspects of the Unequal Treaties. • 1899–1901: The Boxer Rebellion led China to a humiliating defeat by the Eight-Nation Alliance of Western powers including the United States and Japan, ceding more territory, and dealing one of the final blows to the struggling Qing Dynasty. • 1904–1905: The Russo-Japanese War began with a surprise attack and ended by an eventual Japanese victory over Imperial Russia. The Japanese took control of Korea. • 1914: During World War I, Japan and other Allies seized German colonial possessions. • 1919: Japan, as a member of the victorious Allies during World War I, gained a mandate over various Pacific islands previously part of the German colonial empire.
