The Train That Ran to the People Through Bitter Cold

The Train That Ran to the People Through Bitter Cold

Leader Kim Jong Il, Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, always found himself on the train and spent his lifetime in field guidance for the sake of the fatherland and people.
The data show that there have been 1 700 media reports on leader Kim Jong Il’s revolutionary activities since the demise of President Kim Il Sung, of which 160 are for the year of 2011 alone.
Thus leader Kim Jong Il worked so energetically all the year round until the last moment of his life despite of the sultry and cold weathers, that he could not recover from the fatigue and passed away to the deepest regret of the people.
From the first day this year he refused to rest and gave spot guidance to different fields of national economy regardless of his birthday and national holidays, thus leading the struggle to build a thriving socialist nation.
His last trip was also made to an establishment that would make contribution to the people’s life. He died of sudden heart attack on his way to another place for field guidance.
The Korean people grieved at the news of his death were even more anguished by the weather records of December 16 and 17 from the weather station, which said:
“The highest daytime temperature on December 16 and the lowest morning temperature on December 17 were the lowest ever recorded up to December 21, this year. The day’s temperature was the lowest in the past 26 years since 1985 ever recorded as the highest daytime temperature.”
His days of successive field guidance for the people were spent more in nasty days than in fair days
Wishing leader Kim Jong Il good health the Korean people would sing a song:
Snows and rains falling on this land
We are ready to go through
Lest you walk sloppy roads
But the last train he was on had to run in the coldest day of this year.
