remembering Jo Ok Hui
KCNA has published a new article reflecting on the life of Jo Ok Hui, the first woman to be awarded the title of Hero of the Republic during the Korean War.
The article follows her journey from growing up in a poor peasant family before Korea's liberation to becoming a member of the Workers' Party of Korea and later volunteering to join a guerrilla unit. The article talks about how she was captured after being wounded, refused to betray her comrades despite torture, and was executed in 1950 at the age of 27. The article reflects how Jo Ok Hui is remembered in DPRK historical accounts.
I just wanted to share this here in case anyone is interested in reading about her and DPRK history in general.
