The first WIPO National Creation Award Winner appeared at Kim Il Sung University. The winner is none other than Choe Ryon, a teacher of the Faculty of Korean Linguistics of Kim Il Sung University who wrote a full-length novel "Make the Youth Green".

In the novel, she lets the readers know that the more valuable and necessary one than talent and enthusiasm for our young scientists of new generation is just the patriotic conscience and attitude with delicate description of details peculiar to a woman and ardent emotion and appeal based on the earnest pursuit of the scientific world and scientific understanding.

As soon as the novel was published, it evoked positive repercussions from many people from all walks of life and read with avidity.

Above all, the novel that monopolized popularity from young university students and scientists took the first place in the copyright field of "Intellectual Property Development Exhibition-2024".

Many people who read the novel are showing deep respect and great curiosity to the author.

Choe Ryon, from her childhood, liked reading and writing compositions and always dreamt to grow up to be a novelist someday.

Thanks to the benevolence of the Party which valued seed of talent and dream of a teenage girl who liked literature, she became a student at Kim Il Sung University. She learnt hard and strove to realize her dream.

She put her heart into the composition of poems during her undergraduate course and into writing novels in the postgraduate course.

These hard efforts finally brought about novels of marked creation individuality.

She created 60-odd works including short novels "Warm Dream" and "Blessing", an epic poem "Dream of Korea", a lyric poem "Full Moon in the Sky" and essays such as "Love and Motherland" and "Look of Eyes".

In her most works, she gave an answer to the fact that the true value of a life laid not in happiness of a family but in the patriotic devotion to the country truthfully and significantly with a female scientist of strong will as a prototype.

The same is the case of the full-length novel "Make the Youth Green".

Her works marked by her strong individuality became the ones frequently read by everyone and once again elucidated about the genuine patriotism, true value, glory and happiness of a life. The author, herself also grew together with the protagonists of her works, the real prototypes of Kim Il Sung University.

For that reason, Choe Ryon says to the people who ask her key to success that the vibrant spirit and lofty emotion of Ryongnam Hill, the pride and happiness of living and working as a member of such a great group and the true respect and love to such honourable scientists who are eternally young in their spirits for the motherland.

Even now, Choe Ryon keeps cherishing the ideal and aspiration of youthful days.

Readers are waiting for a new work of the first WIPO Creation Award winner who is boundlessly truthful and devoted to the literature and is making strenuous efforts with the goal of guiding the thoughts and feelings of the masses by steadily opening up the world of new beauty.
