Why Did “Wild-Billed Migratory Bird” Cry?


On May 18, 1980, the then female writer of West Germany had an honor of meeting President Kim Il Sung during her visit to DPRK.
Once she was called “wild-billed migratory bird” because she always wrote criticism touring different countries.
While having a conversation with the President she asked about some questions she wanted to know.
Hearing her questions very carefully, the President gave kind answers to them.
At the luncheon given for her the President said: you lost your husband and was in prison and was sentenced to death at the anti-fascist front, so I treat you as a comrade-in-arms.
When she returned to her lodging place, tears of gratitude were rolling down her cheeks at the thought of the President calling her a comrade-in-arms with warm hospitality.
