Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- Schoolchildren from across the DPRK on the march to trace the course of the 250-mile Journey for National Liberation have accelerated their march.

The expedition group, which left the township of Hyangsan on Jan. 25, toured revolutionary sites in Huichon City and Tongsin, Songwon, Jonchon and Songgan counties, recollecting the patriotism-based noble intention of the great leader Generalissimo Kim Il Sung.

The members of the group were welcomed and seen off by officials, working people and schoolchildren everywhere in Jagang Province.

After arriving in Kanggye City on Jan. 30, they laid a floral basket and bouquets at the statues of the great leader Generalissimo Kim Il Sung and the great leader Generalissimo Kim Jong Il and paid tributes to them.

Going around the revolutionary sites in Kanggye, they deeply grasped the immortal revolutionary career and noble exploits of Kim Il Sung who accomplished the historic cause of national liberation, fighting his way across tens of thousands of ri in the bloody war against the Japanese imperialists after embarking on the road of revolution in his teens.

The members of the expedition group left Kanggye City for Phophyong on Jan. 31, singing revolutionary songs with a high resolve to prepare themselves as true sons and daughters of the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un and strong pillars of prosperous Korea. -0-
