In September 1958, after the plenary session of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the “Chollima Working class Movement” appeared on the industrial front. In August 1960, after the national Chollima Pioneer Conference was held, the “Chollima Working class Movement” expanded from the industrial sector to agriculture, transportation, culture and education and other sectors, becoming the labor competition movement of the whole society, making the Chollima movement enter a new stage.
