People are Masters of Everything

Chairman Kim Jong Il once visited a hospital newly built in a modern style in a regional city. In a treatment room of the hospital was installed an ultramodern comprehensive treatment table of great rarity. The Chairman was looking at the medical equipment with great satisfaction. Explaining to the Chairman that such equipment was only for state heads like presidents or kings in other countries, one of the officials said that foreign experts had been puzzled how it was possible in the DPRK to import such rare equipment for a regional hospital and never succeeded in finding the right answer. Laughing a hearty laugh, the Chairman joked it was a pity that there was no king in our country. The moment, there was a burst of laughter. The Chairman continued to say that there was no need to worry, noting that in our country the people are masters who deserve to enjoy such valuable equipment. His remark was made half in jest, but the officials were deeply impressed.
