Noble Life of a Pro-reunification Patriotic Fighter
- On the Occasion of the 40th Death Anniversary of Comrade Cheo Young-Do-
Comrade Cheo Young-do, chairman of the South Jeolla Provincial Committee of the Revolutionary Party for Reunification (RPR, the predecessor of the AINDF), heroically fought to the last moment of his life for the independence and democracy of the south Korean society and the national reunification.
His patriotism was ardent since his childhood, and he absolutely worshiped and warmly respected President Kim Il Sung, the peerless patriot and the benefactor of the national liberation, and devoted his all to the movement of the social revolution and the national reunification true to the President’s lines and policies.
He waged the arduous struggle with the comrades to found a vanguard party taking it as its guidelines the revolutionary ideas and reunification policies of President Kim Il Sung, the sun of the nation, and formed the preparatory committee for founding the RPR in March 1964.
He assumed the responsibility of the chairmanship of the RPR South Jolla Provincial Committee, energetically worked to let the popular masses be conscious and organized, and made great contributions to the building of a vanguard party and the development of the social revolution in south Korea.
He, who was possessed of gifted talents and high enthusiasm, led the people's anti-imperialist and anti-fascist struggle proficiently dealing a telling blow to the colonial fascist rule of US imperialism.
He was unfortunately arrested in July 1968 by the fascist regime.
In prison and fascist courts he, possessed of indomitable faith, vehemently condemned the enemies.
He shouted in the courts; “the revolutionary ideas of General Kim Il Sung are the supreme revolutionary ideology which humankind greeted for the first time, and the beacon that brightly illumines the way ahead of us.
General Kim Il Sung is the sun of the revolution highly standing in the hearts of the nation and mankind", thus appalling the enemies.
Even on the guillotine, he shouted, looking up to the sun of Juche, “as all creatures cannot live under the shade without the sun, we cannot live abandoning the political integrity given by General Kim Il Sung, the sun of the nation,” and left us with smiling.
President Kim Il Sung and respected leader Kim Jong Il felt more grievously than others over the death notice of comrade Cheo Young-do, and saw to it that all the people cherish the memory of him and the title of the DPRK hero and the National Reunification Prize were awarded to him.
