Picture of the Day: The Chollima Statue in Pyongyang
This photo, taken on Jan. 18, 2017, and released by the Choson Sinbo newspaper on Jan. 31, 2017, shows the snow-capped Chollima Statue in Pyongyang, which depicts a soaring pegasus with a pair of citizens riding the majestic beast. The name of the statue means “thousand-mile horse.” (Yonhap)
Chollima “speed” was a phrase that used to be common in North Korea. Apparently Kim Jong Un didn’t think working at “chollima speed” (1,000 miles a day) was good enough, so he came up with the expression “mallima speed,” which is “10,000 miles a day.”
No doubt this fresh, new slogan has had a dramatic effect on productivity.
