The headquarters of North Korea’s Labor Party, holding the pain of war

蕴含战争痛苦的北韩劳动党的铁原郡党舍

 
This is the headquarter of the Northern Labor party, constructed by North Korea for the purpose of strengthening power and civil control after the liberation of 8.15. It was used until the Korean War broke out. When they planned on constructing this building, North Korea extorted 200 sacks of rice under the name of donation. Plus, manpower and equipments were also forcefully put into work. On the other hand, only labor partisans worked on the inner side of the building for the sake of security. North Korean government exercised several brutal activities subjected towards the people around Cheorwon, Gimhwa, Pyeonggang, and Pocheon. It is told that the ones captured and taken in came out either dead or half dead. At the dugout behind the building, many skeletons, bullets and ropes used during the brutality were found.

这里是8.15解放以后北韩为了加强共产独裁政权并控制住民而建立，6.25战争之前为止使用的北韩劳动党的铁原郡党舍。建设该建筑物的当时，北韩以捐款为借口，每一个里剥削200袋白米，并强制性动员了人力与装备。但是，在建设建筑物内部时，为了保密，除了共产党员之外，没有动员其他人。北韩在此处掌管铁原、金化、平康、抱川一带，以良民与爱国人士为对象进行了逮捕、拷问、虐杀等残酷的野蛮行为。当时的野蛮行为残酷无比，一旦被带进去，出来的时候不是变成尸体，就是半死不活。建筑物后面的防空洞还发现人骨与用于野蛮行为的实弹、铁丝等。

The Cheorwon Labor Party headquarters were built to be a 3 floor building, but only its outer walls remain from its destruction during the Korean War. The soot and canon marks still remain at the outer walls. You can see that it is a firmly built structure, compared to the near buildings that are destroyed completely. It was designated as the Modern Cultural Heritage no.22 on May 27, 2002.

铁原劳动党舍是三层建筑物，6.25战争当时被破坏，只剩下建筑物外墙。外墙遗留着战争当时被熏的痕迹与炮弹痕迹。但是，邻近建筑物全部被破坏并烧毁，但唯独该建筑物遗留来看，可以知道当时建筑的多么坚固。2002年5月27日，被指定为近代文化遗产登录文化财第22号并加以管理
