Even poor families who weren&#8217;t able<br \/>\nto afford the gear were not granted permission to forgo the training.<\/span>\u201d<span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">She added, &#8220;However, after their<br \/>\nparents kicked some bribe money back to the school, the children of <i>donju <\/i>and<br \/>\ncadres were exempted from the training. The non-exempt students hustled<br \/>\nover to the outdoor training field each afternoon following their morning<br \/>\nclasses. Rain or shine, they then engaged in synchronized dance and gymnastics<br \/>\nuntil late in the evening. It was a strenuous task for the students, who were<br \/>\nmade both hungry and tired by the grueling sessions. That&#8217;s why the parents who<br \/>\ncould afford to pay a bribe got their kid excused.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201c<span lang=\"EN-US\">In Pyongyang they normally give snacks and<br \/>\ngifts to performers in the mass games, but here in the countryside they don<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">t even give a single piece of food. It was really difficult for the students,&#8221;<br \/>\nthe source said. &#8220;As the date loomed closer to April 15th [the day of the<br \/>\ncelebrations] the children of cadres showed up to school with medical<br \/>\ncertificates to excuse them from the Mass Games roll call. That, or their<br \/>\nparents just came to school directly to give a bribe.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">According to the source, the &#8220;Day of the Sun&#8221; tradition of annual student-based Arirang Mass Games exhibitions began at Pyongyang in<br \/>\nthe 1970s. Through the 1980s, the regime provided the funds and costumes to<br \/>\nfund the event, but since the 1990s, that burden has been passed onto the<br \/>\nstudents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">&#8220;April is the beginning of the new<br \/>\nsemester, so along with all the preparations and supplies that come along with<br \/>\nthat, parents also have to buy things for the Mass Games. That&#8217;s why April is<br \/>\nregarded as an &#8216;inescapable money pit,'&#8221;<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;she<br \/>\nexplained, adding that because the students are busy devoting their energy to<br \/>\nthe games, they are unable to properly invest in their studies, describing the<br \/>\nwhole thing as&nbsp;<\/span>\u201c<span lang=\"EN-US\">a big waste of time.&#8221;<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Participation can be detrimental to one<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">s health as well. &nbsp;&#8220;The students who participate in the<br \/>\nbackground section as card holders [the ones who flip colored tiles in<br \/>\nsynchrony to create a vast image] are forced to sit for three straight hours<br \/>\nuntil the end of the training session. Some of them have contracted bladder<br \/>\ninfections,<\/span>\u201d<span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;she said.&nbsp;<\/span>\u201c<span lang=\"EN-US\">Instead of getting the proper rest they need, they simply buy<br \/>\nmedicine from the <i>jangmadang<\/i> [markets] and continue through the pain. The<br \/>\nstudents are complaining that, &#8216;The sun is so hot it&#8217;s burning us up [a play on<br \/>\nwords based on &#8216;The Day of the Sun&#8217;]. We&#8217;re dying out here.'&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Arirang Mass Games have been used by the regime as propaganda throughout North Korean history. On September 19th, 1961 a performance called<br \/>\n&#8220;The Age of the Workers<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;Party&#8221; was at<br \/>\nKim Il Stadium [formerly known as the Moranbong Stadium]. That performance was<br \/>\nthe genesis of the Mass Games that can be seen today. From the 1980s forward,<br \/>\nduring the Kim Jong Il era, the performances scaled up in size and<br \/>\ncomplication. In 2002, one million participants contributed to the first<br \/>\nperformance, held in honor of Kim Jong Il&#8217;s birthday. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Party cadres and the donju [new affluent middle-class] offered up hefty bribes in order to get their children exempted from the Arirang Mass Games gymnastics training sessions taking place at city and county middle schools in honor of Kim Il Sung&#8217;s birthday &#8211; or &#8216;Day of the Sun&#8217;- celebrations, Daily NK has learned.&nbsp; &#8220;The gymnastics [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":30525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[645],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.7) -
