Book made in North Korea, 1989, about the Chilgol Revolutionary Site. Chilgol is known as the place where Kang Pan-sok, the mother of Kim Il-sung, North Korea’s first leader, was born in 1892 and spent her childhood.
The area features many buildings and fixtures related to Kim Il-sung’s life. Kim attended Changdok School in Chilgol between 1923 and 1925. Kang Pan-sok’s father Kang Ton-uk founded the school. Kim Il-sung’s desk, in the front of the classroom and left of the teacher, remains preserved there.
There are statues for Kim Il-sung, Kang Pan-sok, and Kang Ton-uk, and a marked spot where Kim Il-sung used to read among the trees outside. Also on the premises is Chilgol Church, which Kang Pan-sok used to attend, sometimes with Kim Il-sung, and Chilgol Museum of Revolutionary History. The museum houses Kang Pan-sok’s possessions including kitchen utensils. Kang Pan-sok Senior Middle School in Chilgol is named after her.
