New houses are being built in succession in different parts of the DPRK, ranging from a remote mountain village to a farm at the edge of Yonbaek Plain, a “granary” on the west coast of the country, also this year, the fifth year in implementing the Workers’ Party of Korea’s rural revolution programme in the new era, bringing about a sea change to the appearance of rural communities.

Agricultural workers of the Kujang and Muan farms in Tokchon City and the Sampha Farm in Sinyang County are now living in new dwelling houses designed in diverse and unique styles to preserve the features peculiar to the mountainous areas and ensure modernity and aesthetic beauty.

House-moving also took place at many other farms, including the Choun Farm of Hamhung City, South Hamgyong Province, the Ssangbong Farm of Hoesang District in the same city and the Sillyang Farm of Songnim City, North Hwanghae Province.

Rural villages are spruced up each year, preserving their unique local charms and features. Dwelling houses have cosy living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, warehouses and all others designed for the convenience of their owners. And they go well with the distinctive landscapes adorned with different kinds of fruit trees and other good species of trees.

Agricultural workers give cheerful dance parties at such new ideal socialist villages as a token of their joy of receiving new houses gratis from the state at the same time.

It is not just dwelling houses that are newly built in rural communities.

Modern public and production buildings rose up along with such splendid houses at different farms like the Chilgol Vegetable Farm in Mangyongdae District of Pyongyang and the Toksan Farm under the South Hamgyong Provincial Rural Economy Committee.

All these are the outcome of the painstaking efforts of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un who puts his heart and soul into providing a new life and new civilization to be envied by urbanites to agricultural workers who devote their patriotic efforts on windy fields all the year round in order to fill the granary of the country. Under his loving care, lots of new houses continue to be built in rural villages.
