Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- The slogan "One for all and all for one!" can be heard anywhere of the DPRK.

This slogan has been put up higher in the days of difficulties than the days of happiness.

The communist slogan "One for all and all for one!" was born in the 1950s when everything in the country was severely destroyed due to the three-year war ignited by the U.S. imperialists.

At that time, the country was laying foundations for the self-supporting economy with nothing, so its people lacked basic foodstuffs, clothes, housing and all other things. But everywhere was full of good deeds and affection.

The whole country was turned into a large harmonious family and the era of great miracles, the Chollima era, was ushered in on this land as all the people dedicated themselves, placing the collective above themselves and giving priority to the country's affairs before their families.

It is thanks to this slogan that our people could firmly defend the dignity of the country in the grim trials of the 1990s.

In the new century, the DPRK people formed a large harmonious family with affection of kindred and obligation, more closely united in the face of the pain and trials, and achieved victory, through communist virtues and traits, in struggles with the severe natural disasters and the anti-epidemic crisis that can be called the one unprecedented in the history of the country.

When any region of the country is stricken by a severe natural calamity, officials would find themselves among its inhabitants suffering inconvenience in life and show paternal affection for them, and the capital city renders sincere assistance to the disaster-hit areas. Such good deeds can be done only in our country.

The might and vitality of the communist slogan, which has been maintained through centuries, are being further displayed in the ongoing general advance towards the comprehensive development of socialist construction. -0-
