On the afternoon of December 12, 2013, Jang Song-taek reappeared in front of the camera, after he had disappeared in front of ** for more than a month.
North Korea's No. 2 still wears the gold-rimmed glasses of the past, but the outfit is different.
It is not a black suit that you like to wear on formal occasions, nor is it a general's uniform for special occasions, but a light blue ordinary daily dress.
Known as a beautiful man when he was young, he no longer has the look of the past, his dyed hair is missing and his gray hair is exposed, and his once raised head is firmly held down by a big hand.
Jang Song-taek reappeared, along with two military policemen.
The former No. 2 man confessed to all his crimes in prison.
When he was carried to the venue, everything he had done in the past was meaningless.
In North Korea, a country that has always been mysterious, the leader's uncle lost his ugly and lost his life in front of the world.
Interrogation, confession, verdict, and summary execution, Jang Song-thaek's ups and downs came to an end in just one afternoon.
If Jang Song-taek hadn't gotten married, his life would have been different.
But when this beautiful man climbed the high branch and walked to the center of power, he took his life to the gambling table.
Jang Song-taek in college is ordinary and not ordinary.
Born in an ordinary family, he looks ordinary compared to the noble children in the school, but he is outstanding, and his tall figure has made countless young girls emotionally moved by the beautiful notes played by the violin, including Kim Il Sung's daughter Kim Kyung-hee.
Countless people are skeptical about this relationship with a huge family background, but the barriers such as changing schools have been crossed by the lovers together.
No father could withstand his daughter's insistence, and Kim Kyung-hee's insistence finally relieved Kim Il-sung.
In 1972, Jang Song-taek returned to North Korea with the snowstorm in Moscow, and after returning from his studies, he finally married his lover.
If it is a fairy tale, then the marriage between Jang Sung-taek and Kim Kyung-hee is a happy ending, but for life, everything has just begun.
During his college years, Jang Song-taek had a reputation for being good at singing and dancing and drinking well, and these qualities themselves represent a possibility.
After becoming a North Korean concubine, Jang Song-taek officially stepped into North Korea.
In the 10 years after his marriage to Kim Kyung-hee, Jang Song-taek began to hold various important positions, and in 1982, he became the deputy director of the Youth Affairs Department of the Workers' Party of Korea.
* First Deputy Director of the Youth Division, Head of the Youth and Three Revolutions Shaping Department.
* First Deputy Minister of the Organization and Guidance Department......
* After another 18 years of training, Jang Song-taek's name is finally listed in the same news as those familiar names.
On March 5, 2000, Jang Song-thaek accompanied Kim Chong-il to visit the Chinese Embassy in the DPRK, marking the first time that the DPRK reported on this man who had been in politics for nearly 30 years.
Although only the words "Jang Song-taek" appear at the end of the entourage column in the entire report, the fact that Jang Song-taek has taken a key step is no longer the "wait" after that name.
At this time, he was already the first deputy minister of ***, and he finally squeezed into that small circle.
Two years later, Jang Song-thaek went to South Korea for an "unprecedented" expedition with Kim Jong-il's wishes.
Some foreign media quoted well-informed sources as saying:"The general (Kim Jong Il) said, 'The person who is most faithful to my policy is Jang Song-taek,' and his trust in him is very strong. ”
In Kim Jong-il's eyes, this brother-in-law is trustworthy.
With this trust, Jang Song-thaek came to the forefront of North Korea's reform and opening up, and as a representative of economic reform, he single-handedly led the early stage of North Korea's economic reform.
He ...... to visit South Korea, be familiar with how to make money with capital, and have good personal relations with Japanese dignitaries
Under the deep digging of the family, this man who travels on behalf of North Korea has almost become synonymous with North Korea's economic reform, and countless people think that he will be the economic helmsman of North Korea in the future.
However, when he was in the middle of the day, he suddenly went to the party school to become the person in charge after returning from the inspection.
Mr. Jang spent two years at the party school, and when Kim Jong-un's mother, Ko Young-hee, died in 2006, the colt reappeared in KCNA cables.
After this comeback, Jang Song-taek became.
In 2008, Kim Jong-il fell ill and his physical condition was not optimistic, and his sister and brother-in-law became the people he relied on.
In this year's report, Jang Song-taek, who accompanied Kim Jong-il's North Korean art troupe, had put his name in the third place in his entourage.
Beginning in 2009, North Korea's 70-year-old veterans left and younger officers began to take up key positions.
At the time of the change of the North Korean army, Jang Song-thaek became Kim Jong-il's right-hand man, and as a member of the National Defense Committee, he followed the leader to inspect the army.
The 814 units of the People's Army Air Force and the 597 units of the Navy are ......
During the inspection of the army, air force, and navy, Jang Song-taek was the only accompanying person named in the report.
In 2010, Jang Song-taek, who had been in politics for 38 years, finally came to the highest mountain.
At the 12th Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK, Kim Chong-il was elected chairman, and Jang Song-thaek was elected vice chairman of the National Defense Commission, becoming the second-in-command of the DPRK in the true sense.
In the international community, he has even received more attention than Kim Chong-il because of his perennial foreign visits.
Japanese media said that North Korea is reconstructing the pattern of succession, and Jang Song-taek is the center of the pattern.
There are even reports in the United States:"The collective leadership system is a tripartite leadership system involving the Kim Jong Il family, the Workers' Party of Korea, and the Korean People's Army, and its core figure is Jang Song-thaek. ”
At this time, Jang Song-thaek's two elder brothers were important figures in the army, and he himself controlled the financial power of North Korea.
On December 17, 2011, Kim Jong-il passed away.
At the funeral that month, he became one of eight mourners, who succeeded the new leader, Kim Jong-un.
From his debut in 2000 to becoming North Korea's No. 2 man in 2010, Jang Song-thaek completed a counterattack in only 10 years as a colt, and his name fell to the first place in his entourage.
But Zhang Chengze is not satisfied with this.
As early as the time of Jang Song-thaek's first visit to South Korea, defector Hwang Chang-ye publicly stated in the South Korean National Assembly:"If the Kim Jong-il regime collapses, the most likely person to be the first is Jang Song-thaek, who is the de facto No. 2 man in North Korea. ”
When the Kim Jong-il era became a thing of the past, Jang Song-thaek, as the master of the horse, naturally became the de facto core of North Korea.
A month before Kim Jong-il's death, Jang Song-thaek, who had no military merits, was awarded the rank of general, an honor that allowed the man who had been in charge of the economy to make a name for himself in the military, the party, and the government.
Judging from this arrangement, Kim Jong-il, who knew that his time was short, gave his brother-in-law enough trust, but Jang Song-taek failed him.
After Kim Chong-il's death, Jang Song-thaek, as the leader's uncle and a party, government, and military dignitary, became the first minister to take care of his life.
At this time, Jang Song-taek was 65 years old, and he was in the prime of life among the gray-haired old men in the North Korean high-level.
The Sunday Times described this once beautiful man:"He wears gold-rimmed glasses, a black suit, and always has hairspray in his hair. ”
It stands to reason that Jang Song-taek has the identity of a concubine, and as long as he does a good job of assisting the government step by step, he will have a name in the history of North Korea in the future.
But after he was in a high position, he began to dislike the identity of a colt that brought him everything.
The estrangement from his wife Kim Kyung-hee made Jang Song-taek slowly no longer regard him as his own person by the Kim family, and his wife's choice to slowly fade out of ** further reduced Jang Song-taek's political influence.
However, the second-in-command did not realize that the danger was approaching, but began to monopolize power and appear domineering.
Jang Song-thaek thought he could put the young lord under 30 aside and take control of a country, but the leader of North Korea was Kim Jong-un.
The third son of the Kim family has a political skill that is extremely inconsistent with his age, and he is extremely enthusiastic about reform, eager to change the difficult status quo in North Korea.
Jang Song-thaek has been in charge of North Korea's money bags for so long that he has forgotten that the money comes from the people.
The wolves under his command stretched out their bloody mouths to the people, tore at the flesh of the people, and sucked the blood of the people.
As a representative of the reform, Jang Song-taek did not bring a good life to the people.
However, before Kim Jong-un came to power, he was known for fighting corruption.
One is trying to hold on to power and indulge in wealth, the other wants to reform and lead North Korea further, and the conflict erupts.
Less than a year after Kim Jong-il's death, the two sides clashed over fishing rights, and even skirmishes.
In this confrontation, Jang Song-thaek even took advantage, however, he forgot that his military rank was conferred by Kim Jong-il.
In the last two years of his life, Jang Song-thaek often appeared with Kim Jong-un on various occasions.
They inspected Panmunjom, inspected the 123rd KPA Navy Unit and the Jiaodo Defense Unit stationed at the forward outpost on the west coast, performed a commemorative performance at the Pyongyang Grand Theater to commemorate Women's Day, and conducted a joint strike training ...... of the Korean People's Army, Navy and Air Force
In 2012, Mr. Kim publicly reported on the 152 events he attended, and Mr. Jang appeared hundreds of times.
But by 2013, the number of times he accompanied him had plummeted to 56.
The phenomenon was first discovered by South Korea, which has an eye on North Korea.
As early as March 2013, South Korea's Minister of Unification Yoo Gil found a clue at an emergency symposium of the Unification Committee:In 2013, the number of public appearances dropped to half of last year's. In 2012, Jang Song-thaek accompanied Kim Jong-un to the most public events, but this year it fell to third place. ”
In stark contrast to Jang Song-thaek is Choe Ryong-hae, director of the General Political Bureau of the People's Army.
By the end of October 2013, he had accompanied Kim Jong-un to 129 events, more than Jang Song-thaek did in 2012.
In November of that year, Jang met with Senator Kanzhi Inoki of Japan, and after that, he did not appear in North Korean reports until the verdict arrived.
On December 8, 2013, at the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the DPRK Labor ***, the crimes of Jang Song-thaek and others were exposed, their positions were dismissed, and all his honors became a thing of the past with the verdict of the meeting.
A day later, the KCNA news agency made the news public, and the world was shaken.
However, long before the report, and even before the meeting, Jang Song-taek's fall was expected.
On December 7, 2013, South Korea's YTN TV station released a news that they found that Jang Song-taek's face had been deleted from the documentary broadcast by North Korea's ** TV station.
Given that South Korea used to publish sensational rumors about North Korea in the past, people didn't realize what that message meant.
When the storm came, Jang Song-thaek's brother-in-law, North Korean Ambassador to Cuba Chun Young-jin, and Jang Song-thaek's nephew, North Korean Ambassador to Malaysia Daniel Zhang Chol, all returned to North Korea.
Jang Song-taek's confidants, First Vice Minister of Administration, Lee Yong-ha, and Deputy Minister of Administration, Jang so-gil, were executed in November.
On December 12, 2013, Jang Song-taek, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared, this time with his name monopolizing newspapers.
"In North Korea, there can't be two suns. ”
Regarding Jang Song-taek's dismissal, Chung Yong-tae, chief researcher at the North Korea Research Center in South Korea, commented.
In North Korea's public trial, which has not been held for many years, Jang Song-thaek's crimes have caught the world's attention.
As early as when he stepped into the top level of the DPRK as vice minister of the Youth Affairs Department, he began to cultivate his own power and installed cronies in departments at all levels.
When he once grasped the financial power of North Korea, he re-used the ** who had been degraded because of his mistakes, and used their gratitude to try to build his own small kingdom.
In his small circle with his henchmen, people called him "Comrade No. 1".
In the days when he controlled a country's purse, he squandered national wealth, went in and out of foreign casinos, and even did not hesitate to give out his own resources in exchange for personal interests when faced with heavy debts.
"(Jang Song-taek) pretended to support the party and the leader in front of the stage, but behind the scenes, he slept with different dreams, disobeyed the yang and the yin, and devoted himself to sectarian activities ......He has flagrantly committed counter-revolutionary acts of disobedience to the orders of the Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army. ”
In the public trial, Jang Song-taek fell from that.
Rodong Sinmun also ruthlessly exposed it in a front-page editorial: "Jang Song-taek's henchmen are a group of rebels who echo the actions of the United States and the hostile forces in the south. ”
In one North Korean report after another, the former second-in-command of the country has become a "loach", "rat" and "scum" ......
Kim Jin-guk, chairman of the North Korean South Hwanghae Provincial Rural Management Committee, said, "They should be eradicated without mercy." ”
Lee Young-sung, thermal energy manager of the Pyongyang Thermal Power Complex, said: "I want to immediately seize Jang Song-taek and his henchmen and throw them into a boiling furnace." ”
Kim Sung-yun, director of the Institute of Mathematics of the National Academy of Sciences of the DPRK, commented:"Marshal Kim Jong-un is an irreplaceable ...... of the sunAnd Jang Chengze dared to try to cover the sun and point fingers at ......It's pathetic and pathetic. ”
The Associated Press reported that in the North Korean subway, people were quietly listening to Jang Song-thaek's crimes, a Pyongyang resident said"We must believe Marshal Kim Jong-un alone, the counter-revolutionaries cannot shake our convictions, he was executed very well. ”
"Weeds, ears of rice will grow better. ”The last words of "Rodong Sinmun" became the swan song of Jang Song-taek's life.
A figure who became the country's second-in-command after 38 years as a colt has become a thing of the past.
Markus Noland, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in the United States, commented on the matter"In terms of the internal politics of the North Korean regime, only the death of Kim Il Sung in 1994 had as much impact as this one. There have been purges and executions in the past, but none of them have been so dramatic. ”
