The revolutionary opera TELL O FOREST! is about the courageous and epical struggle of Choe Byong Hun, a member of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army who fought heroically during the anti-Japanese armed struggle in the 1940’s.

Choe Byong Hun carries on underground political work, under the cloak of a "village head" serving the Japanese imperialists in a mountain village in the northern border region of Japanese-occupied Korea. In this situation of acute contradictions, he suffers from unbearable mental pain. He burns with the hatred and vengeance against the Japanese imperialist aggressors, but he does not allow himself to reveal his feelings before the enemy and appears indifferent to the suffering of his countrymen.

When he forces the villagers to build the barracks of the knavish Japanese garrison he becomes the object of wanton abuse, contempt, and scorn. The villagers heap insults on Byong Hun, calling him "puppet village head," because he "obeys" orders of the Japanese imperialists and "forces" them to submit to them. His in-law Song Myong Sik, gets into a rage and spits in his face. His only dear daughter Bok Sun, no longer able to endure the shame of a "daughter of the puppet village head," attempts suicide by throwing herself into Flower Lake.

No greater mental pain can there be for Choe Byong Hun who warmly loves his country and people and has communist humanity! But he bears his internal sufferings and keeps the secret of the revolutionary organization. With iron will and indomitable fighting spirit, he combats his anguish and suffering and carries out his revolutionary tasks. Avoiding the strict watch of the enemy, he manages to send goods to aid the Korean People's Revolutionary Army and actively helps the village youths to destroy the garrison barracks of the Japanese devils. In reprisal, the Japanese imperialists try to massacre all the villagers. At the critical moment Choe Byong Hun saves the villagers and eliminates the special agents of the Japanese imperialists, thus firmly maintaining the secrecy about the revolutionary organization.

Byong Hun then lures, at the risk of his life, a large unit of the Japanese imperialists who are desperate to mop up the KPRA, into the Hongsan-gol Valley and admirably fulfills the heavy and difficult task given by the great revolutionary leader Comrade Kim Ii Sung.

The revolutionary opera TELL O FOREST! vividly shows through the acute dramatic composition and touching incidents the lofty and heroic character of Choe Byong Hun who undauntedly fights on with the firm confidence in the victory of revolution without the slightest vacillation and pessimism in severe trials. It makes clear the great truth of life and struggle that a revolutionary fighter must adhere to his revolutionary constancy in any dangerous situation going through manifold ordeals and devote his life and home to the cause of the revolution.

This work is based on the Juche-oriented principle of creation and representation embodied in the revolutionary opera "The Sea of Blood."
