Brilliant Leadership

Women as Masters of Factory

It was when Chairman Kim Jong Il visited a factory. Looking around the factory, he expressed satisfaction again and again at the fact that the women who became the masters of the factory were enjoying a cultural and emotional life including various sports activities while fulfilling daily production as well. He added that it was very nice of the women director to work for this factory all her life upholding the teaching of President Kim Il Sung. After a short while, the Chairman told the emotion-charged director that she should prepare the female workers as genuine masters of the factory to add eternal glory to the honour of a housewives’ model factory. Figuring out the ardent wish of the factory staff, he had a loving photo session with them that day.

Immortal Exploits Marked at Foot of Moran Hill

Immortal Exploits Marked at Foot of Moran Hill On the 16th of February, Juche 71 (1982), the reconstruction and expansion site of the Moranbong Stadium (in those days) was filled with burning passion, for Chairman Kim Jong Il personally visited the site to clarify the shortcut to the project. Because it was the birthday of the Chairman, an official earnestly requested him, who was about to set out for a field guidance, that he should have a rest that day and postpone his departure. Replying that he had to keep to his plan, the Chairman said as follows. Now that we have already planned to complete the upgrading and expanding project of Moranbong Stadium at all costs by the 70th birthday of President Kim Il Sung, every minute and second is precious for us. Furthermore, the President is painfully anxious about its slower progress than scheduled. We are going to have the President in the stadium completed on the highest level. How pleased the President will be! The Chairman continued that he felt the happiest when he saw the President satisfied, and that it always set his mind at ease. Out of the intention, the Chairman visited the construction site and said that the stadium should be naturally called Kim Il Sung Stadium after its reconstruction.

Enthusiastic Cheers Shaking the Congress Hall

One day in February, Juche 101 (2012), the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un called an official to acquaint himself with the preparation for the Conference of the Workers’ Party of Korea. Having listened to the report of the official, he expressed his intention to hold in high esteem Chairman Kim Jong Il as the permanent General Secretary of our Party. Then, he gave some detailed instructions concerned with the conference, saying that the Party Conference should be a historic one for discussion of important issues of brilliantly carrying forward the revolutionary cause of Juche with the great leaders of our revolution as the eternal leaders of our Party and revolution. His instructions also covered the details of the first agenda item of the Party Conference and fresh contents to be supplemented in the Party rules. Later in the historic 4th Conference of the WPK, a decision on holding in high esteem Chairman Kim Jong Il as the permanent General Secretary of the WPK and on adding eternal brilliance to his revolutionary life and immortal revolutionary exploits was adopted amid the enthusiastic cheers of all the participants.

Retrospection of Meaningful Day

It was the morning of February 8, Juche 37(1948). In the middle of preparing to head to the military parade venue, President Kim Il Sung told the anti-Japanese war heroine Kim Jong Suk that it was really a significant and historic day, saying that it was already 16 years since he founded the Anti-Japanese People’s Guerrilla Army in Antu in the uniform that his mother personally made in her sickbed, although he felt as if it happened just the day before. Comrade Kim Jong Suk could hardly repress her excitement. He continued that the backbones of the revolutionary armed forces and rich experience trained and gained during the years of the anti-Japanese armed struggle made it possible to make full preparations for the founding of the Korean People’s Army in time even in the difficult and complicated situations after liberation. Then, he suggested all go to the parade venue to watch the grand parade of our people’s army that would defend the dignity and honour of the nation with arms. Reminiscing about the origin of the regular revolutionary armed forces on the morning of a historic day to shine forever in the history of army building, the President headed towards the parade venue with his wife Kim Jong Suk and little son Kim Jong Il.

Source of Invincible Might

On February 8, Juche 62 (1973) Chairman Kim Jong Il met with a commanding officer of the Korean People’s Army (KPA). Mentioning the meaningful speech made by President Kim Il Sung on revolutionary comradeship in the banquet in celebration of the 25th founding anniversary of the KPA, the Chairman gave him some really precious teachings. The anti-Japanese guerrillas sacrificed their lives to defend the safety of the headquarters in the period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, the Chairman said, adding that those days they sincerely held the President in high esteem, not because they foresaw that he would be the state head after liberation but because they were convinced that it was the immutable truth of the revolution that the Korean revolution would emerge victorious only when the revolutionary ranks were firmly united centered on the leader on the basis of one ideology. Noting that since the revolutionary ranks were overflowing with beautiful traits of revolutionary comradeship in the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, the guerrillas could accomplish the historic cause of national liberation by overcoming all kinds of trials and difficulties in the fight against the Japanese imperialists, he stressed that as the President instructed, the unity based on the revolutionary comradeship is the source of invincible might of the people’s army and the guarantee for all victories.

I Will Cover Your Root with My Whole Body

Several years ago, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un gave a very meaningful talk in the presence of some officials. Noting that a description of his thoughts and feelings about Kim Jong Il’s patriotism in plain poetic language is “I will cover your root with my whole body”, he said that he loves the song “I will remain your son forever”, which contains a line “I will cover your root with my whole body” because the line reflects a noble thought and feeling for contributing to the prosperity of the country by dedicating one’s all. “I will cover your root with my whole body.” Thanks to the noble outlook on life of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who burns with a desire to dedicate his all to support the motherland like a giant tree just like the leaves that cover the roots even though they are fallen amid the strong wind, our country is growing stronger and the building of a powerful socialist country is being hastened.
