October 23, Geomingli 59, YENKOU - A new sculpture, a monument to the Revolutionary Struggle, has been completed in the city of Yenkou on the southwestern coast of the Saunrean Nation. Constructed in the style of the Yulton Gukchukshan Grand Revolutionary Monument's 'Struggle' statue, the sculpture depicts warriors of the Saunrean People's Army during the revolutionary struggles of the Wars of Reunification, holding high the banner of Tan Ha-ri and Renovationist Thought as they emerge triumphant, securing a position. The ceremony at which the sculpture was unveiled and opened to the public was attended by thousands of ordinary citizens and Construction-Guidance Body officials alike.
The sculpture, engineered by artisans from the Shangjang Arts Studio, took five months of work to complete. Elaborate detail was put into the depiction of the soldiers, visible by the lively, emotional faces they bore as they triumphantly emerge with the Flag of the Revolution. While such works of revolutionary art and greatness were to be treated with reverence throughout its production, to minimize costs as resources were to be better allocated on the betterment of the People of the Nation, the artisans used multiple rocks mined from a nearby quarry instead of one single rock as done with only a few monuments of extreme importance in Saunrea. Light-red granite was used to allude to the color red, which represented and immortalized the blood spilled in the struggle for an Unified Nation, and subsequently a Rejuvenated Nation. The depiction of the soldiers bore historical accuracy, showing a diverse range of weaponry as the People's Sword had utilized anything at disposal during their struggle.
The unveiling ceremony took place one day after the last work on the sculpture was done. A green cloth was taken off, revealing the statue, as thousands attending the ceremony applauded. The ceremony was relatively simple, with the playing of the national anthem, followed by the Song of Tan Ha-ri and of Revolutionaries, and later with a Construction-Guidance Body official giving a speech on the 'immortalization of the spirit of the Revolution'. The thousands of attending civilians stood solemnly in reverence as what was presented before them was not a mere sculpture but an incarnation of the ever-strong spirit of sacrifice and fearless struggle for the Nation which the People of Saunrea still carry on today. The monument is open as exhibition as of today.
