Schoolchildren from across the DPRK started the study tour of the 1 000-ri (250 miles) Journey for National Liberation on the occasion of the centenary of the journey made by the great leader Generalissimo Kim Il Sung and the 50th anniversary of the great leader Generalissimo Kim Jong Il's first expedition along this route.
A meeting took place to start the expedition before the statues of the great Generalissimos at Mangyongdae Revolutionary School on January 22.
Present there were Kim Jong Sun, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Kim Sung Du, minister of Education, officials concerned, officials of the youth league and members of the study tour group.
The participants laid a flower basket and bouquets at the statues of the great Generalissimos and paid tribute to them.
Mun Chol, chairman of the Central Committee of the Socialist Patriotic Youth League, made a report.
He said that the expedition of the 1 000-ri journey serves as an important occasion in grasping the noble intention and revolutionary spirit of the peerlessly great men recorded on this road of history and demonstrating the firm faith and strong will of all schoolchildren to steadfastly carry forward the march of Paektu under the guidance of the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un.
He called upon all the participants to make a report of loyalty by accelerating the march and arriving in Phophyong, the land of history, in good health, keeping in mind that the respected fatherly Marshal is always watching them.
Then followed oath-taking speeches.
When the start of the march was announced, the study tour group began to march, flying the flag in front of the ranks.
Schoolchildren selected from across the country will trek more than 1 000 ri from Mangyongdae to Phophyong along the immortal course covered by the great Generalissimo.
