Yuwen middle school (吉林毓文中学) is a high school in Chinese city of Jilin. The school is situated next to the city's river Songhua.[1] North Korean president Kim Il-sung studied at the school in the 1920's.[2] Kim attended for two and a half years starting from 1927. Kim Il-sung also studied in a Korean Hwasong High school, also at Manchuria.[3] Kim was part of the South Manchurian Communist Youth Association there in 1929. Kim was arrested in the spring of 1929 and was consequentially expelled from the school.[4]

The school was described as the most progressive in the city of Jilin.[5]

In 2010, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il made Yuwen his first stop during a trip to China. Kim stayed there for some 20 minutes.[6] Premier Choe Yong Rim did visit the school too.

The visit to Yuwen associated with Kim Il-sung's youth thus became a political message of a young successor's viability.[7]


On the Day of the Sun, Kim Il-sung's birthday, North Koreans residing in the are gather at the school.[8]


There is a bronze statue of Kim Il-sung, portraying him in a guerrilla uniform, at the school grounds.[9] A schoolroom where Kim Il-sung studied is retained as a memorial, and there is a modest museum at the school.[1]
