| Abstract |
A man is reconnecting a railway track cutting through the military demarcation line separating north and south Korea. The railway line reconnects the northernmost city of Sinuiju with the southernmost city of Pusan, a historical railway line severed since the imposition of the division of Korea. The work of reconnecting this stretch of railway serves the purpose of reunifying the peninsula. In the bottom right corner, the shackled hands of the South Korean people reach out to the North Korean worker reconnecting the railway line. South Korean president Syngman Rhee is seen clinging on to a chain emanating from the UN command, which guarantees his power and keeps the South Korean people in shackles. It is the strength of North Korea's industry that crushes through the military armistice line and overwhelms the UN command, here represented by a white-helmeted soldier holding a nuclear bomb. The overpowering industrial might of North Korea is crushing through the demarcation line moving inexorably forward in achieving the unification of Korea, so longed for by the South Korean people.
