Brilliant Leadership

Repeated Journey to Summit of Ski Slope

One day in May, 2013, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the construction site of Masikryong Ski Resort. After learning about the progress of the construction project, he reached the summit of the ski slope, regardless of the dissuasion of the officials worrying about the dangerous road conditions. Every time he was turning one hundred and tens of risky mountain bends one by one, the officials felt tense with great anxiety. It was not the only dangerous moment. On December 30 that year, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the completed ski resort. Saying that he should take the first ride on the cable car to be used by our people, he reached the precipitous summit in a cable car without any safety measures to learn about its security and convenience. Making repeated journey to the rugged ski resort and even to the summit, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un led the officials to build it into an excellent cultural recreation center for people. Looking up to him, they were moved to tears.

Lighting Becomes Bright

One evening in May, 1978, Chairman Kim Jong Il was passing the fountain park of the Mansudae Art Theatre, when suddenly he called a halt to his car and looked at the park for a long while. Then, he asked the officials accompanying him if they thought the park was bright enough. They could not answer immediately, only looking at each other, for there were already several chandeliers in the park and color lights were illuminating the fountains, making a good harmony of colors in the pond. Looking round the officials for a while, the Chairman said the present lighting is not bright enough for taking photographs at night. Saying that people would be so happy with brighter lighting for them to enjoy themselves having their photos taken even at night, he warmly instructed that the park should be well equipped lest there should be any slightest convenience for the people. Proposing that the lighting of the park be replaced with floodlights as bright as those of stadiums, he personally named even the number and capacity of floodlights needed. This is how the lighting of the park became bright.

Glory of Revolutionaries

It happened when the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was inspecting newly-built Unha Scientists Street. Looking around some dwelling houses in the new street, he was delighted that all the flats were fully furnished with all the things needed for living, which made it possible for scientists to move into new houses without carrying anything with them and to lead happy lives without any worries about their living conditions. He said in excited tones that we came to realize another wish of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il, who had been solicitous about providing our scientists with the best living conditions, and that it is none other than the glory of revolutionaries. Listening to him, the officials were overcome with strong emotion.

Earnest Instruction

It was in December, 2013. North Hwanghae Provincial Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea reported in a document enclosed with some photographs of happy children to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un that his presents of love were conveyed to the baby home, orphanage, orphans’ school and rest home. On receiving it, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un wrote in his autograph to the leading official of the provincial party committee that it would set his mind at rest and that the committee should always be concerned about the problems arising in the baby home, orphanage, orphans’ school and rest home and responsible for solving them. He continued that as it was winter when everyone was feeling cold, they should take good care of the health of the children and the elderly and, in particular, they should bring up the orphans to be cheerful ones not feeling the sorrow of the bereaved. He concluded with an earnest instruction that it was a task he gave personally to the chief secretary of the provincial party committee and the chief secretaries of the city and county party committees in the province.

In the Rain

In one July after liberation, the opening ceremony of a park for the people, Moranbong Pleasure Park, was to be held in Pyongyang, the capital of revolution. That day it was raining from the early morning. The official who was supposed to deliver a congratulatory address at the ceremony was hesitating over the bad weather before finally he made haste to prepare himself to go to the park as it was time to leave. It was some minutes after noon. When the official was about to leave his office, President Kim Il Sung summoned him to say that he would accompany him to the ceremony. Looking at the window streaming with rainwater, he hesitated for a few moments and told the President that they would go there by themselves because of the rain. The President folded the documents on the table, rose from the seat, and declined his proposal. Insisting on going there to see the people happy, he headed for the ceremony in the van. Following the President, the official was feeling himself charged with a strong emotion. That day the President took pleasure in sharing joy with the people even in the constant rain. Looking up at him respectfully, the people were moved to tears with deep gratitude for him.

Story of Underground Pyongyang

All the Pyongyang citizens enjoy traveling on the Pyongyang Metro all day all year round. The Pyongyang Metro is associated with the world of love of President Kim Il Sung, who devoted his whole life to the people. The President personally planned the construction of the subway and clearly indicated the orientation and ways for carrying it into practice. In addition, he led the whole course of the project step by step. In order to provide our people with a more civilized and cultured life as early as possible, the President made a ceaseless journey to the dangerous muddy construction site and even went down deep into the working face to solve every problem arising in the project. Feeling so sorry for the people waiting in bus queues in the cold weather, he kept himself at the construction site skipping his meals and spent nights setting right the subway lines for the convenience of the people. Thanks to the wise guidance of the President, the construction of the Pyongyang Metro, which was said to be impossible without the technical and material help of foreign countries, was finally completed by our own efforts.
