This bright and optimistic song was created in Juche 36 (1947) marking the first anniversary of the proclamation of the Law on Sex Equality.
In the past the Korean women used to sing a song on touch-me-nots withering in severe rainy wind under the fence, likening their miserable lives to the flower.
But after their country’s liberation they emerged as masters of the country, provided with equal rights to men thanks to the Law on Sex Equality promulgated on July 30, Juche 35 (1946).
After the promulgation of the law they, united more closely under the banner of democracy, voluntarily shed patriotic sweat at factories and enterprises, full of determination to contribute to building a new country.
The song, which resounded far and wide in liberated, new Korea, is still sung generation after generation, telling the ennobling patriotism, passion and pride cherished by the women of the first generation of the Republic.
