The Chollima Movement (Hangul: 천리마운동; Hanja: 千里馬運動) was a state-sponsored Stakhanovite movement in North Korea (DPRK) intended to promote rapid economic development. Launched in 1956, the movement emphasized "ideological incentives to work harder" and the personal guidance of Kim Il-Sung rather than rational modes of economic management.

Famous quotes containing the word movement:
“Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
