General Kim Il Sung is just a myth and legendary
hero
The south Korean paper “Gukbang-Ilbo”
published private papers of Chang Ji-ryang (His autonym was Chang
Dong-chae) who served as the Chief
of the General staff of the south Korean Air force, introducing legendaries
that speak highly of General Kim Il Sung
as a legendary hero of the anti-Japanese armed struggle and leader of the Korean
nation in the period of the Japanese colonial rule of Korea.
Here are some parts of his
memoir.
“He was well known in
Manchuria as a man of Herculean strength that repulses the five or six Japanese
at once.
He had an excellent
marksmanship than hunter.
He was elusive in his
movements.
He was said to be a cavalryman.
He went to Manchuria and trained the Korean independent army to restore Korea
and killed the Japanese army at one shot.
He was a skillful
cavalryman. He rode a horse after having breakfast on Mt. Baekdu and had lunch
on Mt. Chiri or Mt. Mudung in south Korea.
He dealt heavy blows at the Japanese army by employing the art of shortening distance.
He was really a myth and
legendary hero.
Suffice it to say that the
Korean people were happy with General Kim
Il Sung who inspired them.”
Chang Ji-ryang exchanged
words about General Kim Il Sung with
his cadets at the Japanese military academy and said with his colleagues in
Busan after the liberation that it will be idealistic that General Kim Il Sung, a legendary hero, would build
new Korea, they vowed to follow General Kim
Il Sung, he added.
