}} Kim Jong-suk (), also Romanized as Kim Chŏng-suk, Gim Jeong-suk, Kim Jong Suk, Kim Jong-sook (December 14, 1919,〔Suh Dae-sook. Kim Il Sung: The North Korean Leader. New York: Columbia University Press, 1988.〕 though the official biography states December 24, 1917〔Kim Jong Suk: Biography. Pyongyang: Foreign Language Publishing House, 2002.〕 – September 22, 1949) was a Korean anti-Japanese guerrilla, a Communist activist, North Korean leader Kim Il-sung’s first wife, former leader Kim Jong-il’s mother, and current leader Kim Jong-un's grandmother. ==Biography== Kim Jong-suk was born on December 24, 1919 in Hoeryong County, North Hamgyong Province, in Chosŏn (Japanese Korea).〔Lintner, Bertil. Great Leader, Dear Leader: Demystifying North Korea under the Kim Clan. Chiang Mai, Thailand: Silkworm Books, 2005.〕 Suh Dae-sook writes that she was "the elder of two daughters of a poor farmer."〔 However, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), states that she had a younger brother, Kim Ki-song, who was born February 9, 1921.〔"Kim Ki Song, Anti-Japanese Juvenile Hero of Korea." KCNA. 25 June 2012. http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2012/201206/news25/20120625-29ee.html 〕 Kim Jong-suk followed her mother to Manchuria to look for her father, but they discovered that he had already died there. Soon after that, her mother died and she became an orphan. Most sources agree that Kim Jong-suk then joined Kim Il-sung’s guerrilla force in 1935 or 1936〔Post, Jerold M. Leaders and Their Followers in a Dangerous World: The Psychology of Political Behavior. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2004.〕 as a kitchen helper.〔〔 The KCNA, however, reports that Kim Jong-suk and Kim Ki-song joined the guerrilla forces after their mother and their elder brother’s wife were murdered by the Japanese.〔 During this time, Kim Jong-suk worked various odd jobs, was arrested by the Japanese in 1937 in an undercover attempt to secure food and supplies. After her release, she rejoined the guerrillas, where she cooked, sewed, and washed.〔 It was around this time that Kim Jong-suk reportedly saved Kim Il-sung’s life. Baik Bong relates the story in Kim Il-sung’s official biography: Kim Jong-suk married Kim Il Sung in the Soviet Union, most likely in 1941.〔 On February 16, 1941〔〔Becker, Jasper. Rogue Regime: Kim Jong Il and the Looming Threat of North Korea. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005.〕 (or 1942, sources vary),〔〔 in the Soviet village of Vyatskoye, Kim Jong-suk gave birth to Kim Jong-il, who was given the Russian name "Yuri Irsenovich Kim," and the nickname "Yura."〔〔〔 In 1944, Kim Jong-suk gave birth to a second son, Kim Pyong-il in Korean and "Alexander" or "Sura" in Russian.〔 In 1946, she gave birth to daughter, Kim Kyŏng-hŭi.〔 Augustina Vardugina, a woman from Vyatskoye, was in her teens when Kim Il-sung’s guerrilla group camped there. She remembers Kim Jong-suk, and how she would come to the village to barter military rations for chicken and eggs. Her son, Kim Jong-il, would be holding her hand.〔 A year after the establishment of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and until her death, Kim Jong-suk was the first lady of North Korea. According to some accounts, Kim Jong-suk "was a small, quiet woman, not particularly well educated, but friendly and life-loving."〔Lankov, Andrei. From Stalin to Kim Il Sung: The Formation of North Korea 1945-1960. New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 2002.〕 Major General N.G. Lebedev, an executive Soviet officer during the Soviet occupation of North Korea, recalled Kim Jong-suk as "a vivacious and generous lady who always cooked enormous amounts of food for the hungry Soviet generals when they visited Kim’s home."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kim Jong-suk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
