The Anti-Japanese revolution was the defining conflict of the DPRK's founding years, leading to the veneration of many great commanders, generals, and soldiers. One such commanding figure from the early years of the country was Choe Hyon. A boy partisan, turned independence fighter, and eventually becoming a leading light in the new Korean socialist state.
His legacy has led to the naming of new naval destroyers, and his life story is analagous of East Asia's struggle against imperialism. This is the story of the politician, general, and revolutionary, Choe Hyon.
