Brilliant Leadership

Though Small and Unnoticeable

One day in October, Juche 102(2013), the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un inspected the completed Munsu Water Park. At the outdoor wading pool, he was friendly watching the people go down the water slide, when suddenly he told the accompanying officials that many of the people on the steep water slide fail to slide down to the end. After a while, he affectionately instructed that ladders should be set up at the middle of each side of the horizontal part for those who fail to get down to the end. This is how the ladders were put up. However small and unnoticeable the ladders are, in comparison with the enchanting view of the Munsu Water Park, which everyone feels impressed by, they fully represent the world of warm love for the people of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who gives the highest and absolute priority to the people’s convenience.

Be Aware of Motherland

One day in September, Juche 32(1943), the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung gave a task of drawing a big Korean map to a commander of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army (KPRA). The commander immediately set to work. He brought several reference books and made a deep study of them. Finally, he successfully completed a map as intended by Comrade Kim Il Sung. However, he could not fully grasp the great intention of Comrade Kim Il Sung to have the Korean map made. Some time later, KPRA political cadres and instructors who gathered in the lecture room near the headquarters shouted with joy at the sight of the Korean map hanging on the front wall. As if they had never seen the picture of the dear motherland before, they were hardly ready to leave the map. Looking at them, Comrade Kim Il Sung said that he was going to talk about the need to strengthen the study of the fatherland nearing the great event of the national liberation and about some immediate tasks. Noting that it was necessary to be well aware of the history, geography and brilliant cultural traditions of the motherland in order to carry on the Korean revolution in a responsible manner, he explained in detail that only then, could we make a revolution in an independent and creative way in conformity with the reality of the country. His teachings bore the noble intention that becoming an ardent patriot and a genuine revolutionary surely requires great awareness of the country.

Children Win Ssirum

One day soon after liberation President Kim Il Sung visited Mangyongdae Revolutionary School. At that time the playground were buzzing with the schoolchildren doing ssirum. The President took off his outerwear, handed it to the anti-Japanese war heroine Kim Jong Suk, and suggested a match to the children. The innocent children attacked him at once, some clinging to the lower part of his body, some others shouldering into him, and yet some others pulling him by the arm with all their force… However hard they tried, the President remained unmoved. Comrade Kim Jong Suk, observing the scene, advised the children to unite their strength. The children, more encouraged by her support, shouted in chorus to unite their strength. At that moment the President pretended to lose balance and lean to one side. Then the children’s cheers of hurrah shook the playground. “We won. Hip, hip, hurray!” She congratulated them on winning the match. The President embraced the children with a broad smile as if he were relieved of all his anxiety.

Commending Highly as Most Trusted University

It was late September, Juche 107(2018), when the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made a visit to Kim Chaek University of Technology (KUT) celebrating its 70th founding anniversary. Noting that the university had made great contributions to the country’s scientific and technological education and independent development of the national economy, he said he was pleased to personally meet and congratulate the teachers and researchers of the glorious university on its 70th birthday. He extended congratulations on behalf of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the DPRK government to all the teachers and researchers who devoted themselves to the education and scientific research for the prosperity and future of the socialist country. Then, he had a photo session wishing them proud successes in scientific and technological research and talents training by reliably carrying forward the 70 year-long brilliant tradition. Saying that KUT is one of the universities the Party trusts, boasts and holds up most, he set forth vital tasks for the university to train students into creation-oriented talents and scientists faithful to the Party and revolution with strong revolutionary spirit and high faculties of inquiry and application by steadily enhancing the quality of education as required by the new century. That day he clarified the issues of improving the educational conditions and environment, content and method of the university, and bestowed great favors on the university.

Great Trust

On September 19, Juche 90(2001), Chairman Kim Jong Il visited Kim Chaek University of Technology and gave instructions on training more and better sci-tech talents who would shoulder the building of a powerful socialist country in accordance with its mission and duty. He also clarified in detail all the issues of improving the education of the university ranging from preparing teaching programs and plans and modernizing the content of scientific and technological education to raising the proportion of application of IT and computers in technological subjects. In addition, he took benevolent measures for building an e-library and a multifunctional gymnasium at the university and for providing with all necessary experimental equipment for scientific research and education, books and vehicles. Some years after that, the Chairman made another visit to KUT. Highly appreciating the university, which was making great contributions to the development of science and technology of the country and to the building of an economic power, he said that Kim Chaek University of Technology is a pedigree for training sci-tech talents and a pioneer of an IT industry revolution in our country.

He Foresees Profound Secret of Heaven

It happened on the day of the Banjiegou Battle. When the sun already set and the darkness of the night set in, President Kim Il Sung soon held a commanders’ meeting and issued battle orders. When the ranks of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army quickly got out of the forest onto Banjiegou Road nearby, hanging in the middle of the sky was a silvery moon. It was shining so bright that even ants were likely to be seen crawling. But the guerrillas were full of dauntless courage, as they realized keenly through practical experiences that the battles organized and guided by the President emerged ever victorious. It turned out they were right. The guerrillas fully prepared for battle were about to go over to the further action when suddenly the bright moon faded away, leaving the world pitch-dark. It was an eclipse of the moon. Being admired by his foresightedness once again, they shouted for joy in mind. The raiding party climbed over the earthen wall swiftly, opened the gate and showered a fire on the enemy’s camps and battery. It was only a few minutes before the battle ended in victory of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army.
