Probably, news of moving into new houses has most often been reported by newspapers and TV in recent years in the country.

Now it has become a commonplace for the DPRK people.

Pleasant scenes of moving into new houses unfolded in the new city section of the third stage in the Hwasong area of Pyongyang in April this year after last year.

Modern socialist farm villages have mushroomed not only in Pyongyang but also in all other parts of the country, including remote mountain villages in the northern part and coastal and flat areas.

Happy events of moving into new houses took place in Ungsang-dong and Hongui-dong of Sonbong District in Rason City, the northernmost tip of the country, and at the Unsong Farm in Jonchon County of Ryanggang Province in the remote mountainous area.

The working people in Yuhyon-dong of Rajin District and Janggyo-ri of Kangnam County witnessed similar events this year again after last year and scenes of such happy events unfolded for the third time at the Rajinpho Farm of Yonan County, South Hwanghae Province, the “granary” on the west coast, the Chongun Farm of Songnim City and the Phungthan Farm of Sunchon City.

Similar events have taken place in over a dozen rural villages in October this year marking the 80th anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, including the Taehung Farm under the North Phyongan Provincial Rural Economy Committee and the Sepho Farm in Ragwon County, and they are still reported one after another as front-page news.

The owners of all these houses are the working people.

Under the socialist benefits, the state provides people with houses gratis.

With such news being announced in succession, many dream-like stories have been told in recent years.

In Munam-ri of Pujon County, a remote mountainous region, a family received 12 house licences at the same time, surprising all the people. And a story was told in Yonsan County about the “blessed couple” who received a new house before they got married.

All of them who moved to new houses enjoyed the right to become their owners with the only reason that they live on this land.

As it has adopted it as its mode of existence to hold the people in high esteem as heaven and make selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people, the WPK regards it as the most important affair to solve the housing problem of the people and sees that a large sum of money is invested in the construction of new modern streets and houses to be provided to the people.

Therefore, all the working people who have become owners of new houses are hardening their resolve to work harder to repay the great loving care of the Party.
