Problemet med Kim den 1e var att han hade varit medlem i Kinas kommunist parti, ej i Koreas. Därför visste ingen i Korea om vem denna Kim den 1e var.
De flesta av Koreas kommunister fanns i södern.
Nej, ingen visste vem kamrat Kim Il Sung var, iaf i den retuscherade historiskrivningen, som dock professor Bruce Cumings inte har någon del i:
"What was really being celebrated was the beginning of the Korean guerrilla struggle against the Japanese in north-east China, officially dated to 25 April 1932. After Japan annexed Korea in 1910, many Koreans fled across the border, among them the parents of Kim Il-sung, but it wasn’t until Japan established its puppet state of Manchukuo in March 1932 that the independence movement turned to armed resistance.
Kim and his comrades launched a campaign that lasted 13 difficult years, until Japan finally relinquished control of Korea as part of the 1945 terms of surrender.//The story of Kim Il-sung’s resistance against the Japanese is surrounded by legend and exaggeration in the North, and general denial in the South. But
he was recognisably a hero: he fought for a decade in the harshest winter environment imaginable, with temperatures sometimes falling to 50° below zero. "

Edit. Tilläggas ska att det börjat komma fram röster i Syd som börjat erkänna det givna, betydelsen kamrat Kim Il Sung hade i befrielsekampen mot japanerna.
