It has become commonplace for old persons to do good things for society and younger generations. The aged are eager to dedicate the rest of their lives to adding brilliance to the benevolent socialist system which provided them a worthwhile life. “Before retirement, I taught music at the senior middle school which is widely known for the contribution of its students to representing the theme songs of animation films. My name is well known to others along with the school and many teachers envied me for training excellent students. I want to do more good things for the country, society and collective,” said Ri Hyon Suk, 65-year-old woman living in Tongdaewon-dong No. 2, Tongdaewon District, Pyongyang. A lot of senior citizens with the same mind with her volunteer to work for the country. Some of them have sent lots of aid materials to major construction projects for years, while others volunteered to take care of historic sites. The aged people in Ryongsong District, Pyongyang, organized a group to afforest surrounding mountains and turn them into orchards like young people. Ryu Ho Chun, a 58-year-old woman who authored a book this year, plans to write a book about women’s health, family life and traditional medicine. Many former researchers or teachers bring out important inventions and develop new products. Ro Jae Hyok who is nearing 80 developed a sauna bath material and mousse, which were registered as patented products in 2017, by extracting nutritive solution from pine. The Songhwa art show which is held to mark national holidays is a good occasion for old artists to demonstrate their fine brushwork and calligraphic skills. Those who were engaged in the field of the arts are making excellent works through their creative activities and other aged persons show special skills as good as professionals in different sporting events. “I think this is an epitome of our society that the aged people enjoy themselves in modern cultural recreation places. As our country and social system are so admirable that good musical expression or dancing rhythm comes of its own accord,” said Kim Yong Son, 68-year-old former dance director at a central art troupe who is living in Sanghung-dong of Sosong District, Pyongyang.
