Brilliant Leadership

Like a Real Combat

One day in a November, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un guided the dropping training of the soldiers of a unit of the Korean People’s Army. The transport planes carrying the soldiers flew in groups covering up the sky above the training ground and the soldiers showered down like hail. Seeing their training, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction saying that they were very good at descending and their skillful combat actions directly led by the brigade commanders and political commissars upon the unexpected combat order in an unfamiliar area was worth seeing, adding that they were really brave, reliable and stalwart fighters. Then, he emphasized that they should never cling to the stereotyped training methods but conduct every training and judgment under various adverse circumstances like a real combat.

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.

Personally Feeling Warmth of a Stuffed Wheat Cake

It was one day in September, 2011, when Chairman Kim Jong Il visited the stuffed wheat cake shop which was newly established at Kumsong Foodstuff Factory. Looking at the ceaselessly produced stuffed wheat cakes, the Chairman told the officials with emphasis that the shop should produce high-quality stuffed wheat cakes in larger quantities for people’s diet, relying on the new production foundation. Then, he visited the outdoor stand set up in the factory compound. He personally felt the warmth of a cake. After a while, he called for serving our people warm cakes at every outdoor stand. Then, he repeatedly instructed them to take necessary measures for selling warm stuffed wheat cakes so that people could taste their real delicacy in warmth when steamed hot.

Even for Legislation of Sectional Law

One day in January several decades ago, President Kim Il Sung gave the officials valuable instructions on legislating the law on socialist property. That day, the President taught that only when the socialist state had a law on socialist property, could it protect by law and take good care of the precious property made by the people so that it could prove effective. The officials fell into deep thoughts at the lofty will of the President to make all the people take an active part in managing the socialist property by enacting the law. After a while, noting the situation where proper order was not being maintained in the management of the common property for not having a law on socialist property, the President taught that the main principle of the law on socialist property could be made on the basis of the Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Indeed, under the detailed guidance and warm care of the President, sectional laws for further consolidating the socialist system of our style and fully displaying its superiority could come into the world.

Eternal March

It was at a recreation time one day in August, 1962, when the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il was spending the days of military encampment in Oun-dong. In the middle of it, his fellow students entreated him to sing a song. Willingly agreeing to it, he started with the following words. In the far northern sky packed with high and low mountain ranges rises Mt. Paektu, the sacred mountain of revolution, from which the march of our revolution made a start. This made the campers meditate on the undying exploits of President Kim Il Sung, who had brought about the national liberation crossing steep, craggy mountains with an iron will, and make up their minds once again to go along the road of revolution with unusual preparedness. Taking a glance at them, who were full of strong emotions, he added that we, the new generation had been vigorously following the glorious road travelled by the anti-Japanese revolutionary predecessors and he himself wanted to express his feelings as the lines of a poem. Then, he recited an impromptu poem “I Will Carry on the March Started from Mt. Paektu” in person. His poem reflected his invariable belief and iron will to achieve without fail the victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche by unyieldingly carrying on the march started from Mt. Paektu by President Kim Il Sung generation after generation.

Instructing How to Educate Children

Behind a wonderful child is a wonderful mother, and behind her is the great Mentor. Scores of years ago, President Kim Il Sung arranged the National Mothers’ Conference, personally attended it and made a historic speech. Fathoming the efforts of mothers across the country in the conference, the President gave them precious instructions for the education of children, stressing that they have heavy missions to bring up their children well. Mentioning that no special way is necessary for educating children, and numerous positive models created in our country would do for it, he enumerated good examples one by one. He added there was probably no one that was unaware of the story about the medical workers who saved a boy, Pang Ha Su, and about Kil Hwak Sil and Ri Sin Ja, and that those good examples would surely help bring up their children to be good-natured. Indeed, the President was really a great mentor of all mothers of our country who gave precious instructions for the education of children so that they could become well aware of their duty as mothers.
