FOREWORD
Kim Jong Suk was an indomitable revolutionary fighter and an anti-Japanese war heroine. 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 contribution 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 "Kim Jong Suk, a Biography".
