Brilliant Leadership

Construction should Never be Ceased

One day the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited Mirim Riding Club with its completion just ahead. Wherever he went, he repeatedly expressed great satisfaction, feeling delighted beyond measure at the wonderful scene of the club. Mentioning that a great number of structures were built in our country, he said with pride that many modern monumental edifices conducive to the cultural and emotional life of people and promotion of their well-being sprang up. That day, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un earnestly asked the officials to carry on with construction for the people, saying that he was always thinking about what else he could do for our simple, diligent, revolutionary people.

Even without Breakfast

It was one day several decades ago. President Kim Il Sung visited Ryongchon ri, Hwangju County early in the morning. No sooner had he arrived than he headed out to a maize field, where he enjoyed the view of maize in good conditions for a long time, forecasting a rich crop of maize. Then, he said with great satisfaction that Ryongchon ri was entirely successful in maize farming. Looking up at the President smiling broadly with his accumulated fatigue behind, the farm officials hardly repressed their excitement at the thought of pleasing him even for a little while. However, they never knew that the President had missed his breakfast until quite a while later when the accompanying officials persuaded him to leave as his breakfast was waiting for him. The President told the farm officials feeling awkward: Now that we are expecting a good crop of maize, our people are going to enjoy better dietary life. So, missing a few meals doesn’t make any difference to my life. Just a look at the fields of healthy maize makes me feel satisfied. Stressing repeatedly the need to take good care of rich crops, the President set out on another journey of field guidance.

Take Responsibility for Safety of Project and ...

Whatever we make or build, it has to be world-class, a standard and model of the times so that people can benefit from it generation after generation ― this is the standard of creative activities put forward by the Workers’ Party of Korea. One day, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un told the officials that these days the slogan for taking responsibility for the safety of the project and guaranteeing its absolute quality for all eternity is found at every socialist construction site, stressing that a firm guarantee for high quality like this along with a high march speed of the Chollima upsurge is precious for us. The slogan reminds us of the magnificent monumental edifices of our times built on this land one after another including Munsu Water Park, Mirim Riding Club, Ryomyong Street, Songhwa Street, Terraced Residential District in Kyongru-dong, etc. Every one of the edifices is associated with the noble intention of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who sets goals and ideals highest for the people.

On a Morning-to-Evening Basis

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the completed Sci-tech Complex in October, Juche 104 (2015). Seeing in joy the magnificent appearance of the Sci-tech Complex of charming architectural beauty, he said that he was really impressed by the construction speed created by our people. He added that even though creating new ones had been on a yearly basis until the previous year, nowadays it is on a daily basis, even on a morning-to-evening basis. On a morning-to-evening basis! Our people and service personnel still repeat this phrase in great excitement, visualizing the wonderful and beautiful appearance of the country with great pride.

Column of Love

The military parade in celebration of the 70th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea in October, Juche 104 (2015) welcomed an extraordinary rank called the column of Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade. This bears a moving story. One day in September, a month before the parade, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station. That day he said that every time our revolution faced difficulties and trials, he relied on the young people as his spiritual pillars who had volunteered to make a start of life at the construction site of the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station with patriotic devotion, adding that he was firmly convinced that as there is such a large contingent of young people, our revolution will emerge victorious without fail. Then, he bestowed great benevolence on the brigade as regards the parade. That was how an extraordinary column named the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade column was added to the significant military parade in celebration of the 70th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

Patriotic Appeal

In the first year after liberation, the richest harvest ever known was reaped in our country. The entire peasantry across the country turned out in the campaign of tax prepayment in kind with delight in having had a bumper harvest in the first-year farming thanks to the land reform. The farmer delegates from Sinbu myon (in those days), Sonchon County, North Phyongan Province, which had won the first place in the provincial campaign of tax prepayment in kind, had the honor of being received by President Kim Il Sung. Warmly welcoming and thanking them for having made such a long journey, he passionately shook them by the hands. They were so impressed and excited to be received by the President that they were all at loss about what to say to him. Listening to their incoherent talk, he praised them for successes in their work and said that what was the most important at the moment was to do one’s best at the construction of our country. Giving them valuable teachings that they should try their best to further strengthen the people’s government and do farming very well for the construction of a country, he continued to emphasize that they should, after going back, try hard to produce more crops, cultivate more cotton and silkworms for cocoon and do well in livestock farming, too. Then, looking over the whole delegation, he promised them he would also dedicate his all heart and soul to the construction. He also said that there would be nothing impossible for us when combining our efforts, strength and intelligence and firmly united as one, and appealed to them to build a powerful, good-to-live-in democratic country without fail. All the delegates were really excited at his teachings. Receiving the instructions of the President from the delegates, all the farmers in that area vowed, shedding their tears, to turn out in the construction of our country as one true to the President’s intention.
