Leader Kim Jong Il’s life was a career of great revolutionary who devoted his
all on a road of tour guidance for the country and the people.
With the conception “The people are
my God” as his motto, he spared nothing for the people and embroidered all his
life with utmost loving care for the people.
During his whole life he visited at
least 14 290 units across the country, covering 669 844 km, nearly 17 rounds of
the globe.
In the whole period of his Songun
revolutionary leadership from April 25, 1960 he gave his field guidance to a
total of over 12 790 units, traveling 629 992 km.
From the day when the Arduous March
started in January, 1995 till the last moment of his life Kim Jong Il went on a forced march with a patriotic devotion, covering 353 576 km.
The last three years of his life
represented a review of the popular and heroic life of the peerless patriot
unprecedented in history.
Between 2009 and 2011 the number of
reports of his revolutionary activities reached nearly 480. It means that he
gave field inspection or guidance across the country every two or three days
over the last three years.
Similar reports increased in the new
century from a little over 100 times on the average to nearly 160 in 2009.
Over the last three years he visited
nearly 1 000 units.
In less than 100 days from early
January in 2009 he visited 4 times more units than in the same period of the
previous year, covering several thousand kilometers across the country.
Foreign mass media vied with each
other in reporting of the explosive increase of the reports of his
revolutionary activities in three years.
Media of Russia, Japan
Reporting of his watching a New Year
concert of the Unhasu Orchestra on December 31, 2010, they said “it made the
reports of General Secretary Kim Jong Il’s revolutionary activities in 2010 number 161, the highest ever”.
Similar reports amounted to 160 in
2011 alone.
He traveled all places of the country
from January in the coldest weather ever in 60 years and the rainy season to
December, the closing month.
He went to a modern glass bottle
factory for his first field guidance in the New Year and, in the last days of
his life he visited the Hana
Music Information
Center
In December alone his revolutionary
activities were reported on nearly 10 occasions and on the evening of December
16, the last days of his life too, he was on a running train, thinking of fish
to be supplied to people.
Despite bitter cold he set out on a
road of field guidance again, but to our greatest regret, he passed away on a train
due to mental and physical overwork.
At the sad news of his demise a total
of over 260 million officers and service persons of the People’s Army, working
people of all strata and school youths and children expressed their deep
condolences.
The demise of Kim Jong Il was a great loss not only to the
Korean people, but also to the progressives of the world.
Over 190
countries, international organizations such as UN and hostile countries paid
condolences to the demise of leader Kim Jong Il and foreign party and government heads paid a condolatory visit to DPRK
missions in their countries.
Flags were hoisted at half-mast and
different condolatory functions took place in a solemn manner.
During the mourning period over 3 000
condolence messages came from party, state and government heads, senior
officials of different circles, representatives of international organizations,
Juche idea study organizations and friendship and solidarity organizations in
at least 120 countries.
The great life of Kim Jong Il was praised highly by all people of
the world.
The progressive people of the world
as well as the Koreans called him “great leader for the 21st
century”, “champion of global peace”, “peerless patriot” and “rarely great
sage”.
The world people have so far called
him with more than 1 200 titles. In particular, they praised him as the sun
such as “the sun of humankind”, “the sun of Juche”, “the sun of Songun” and
scores of other titles linked with the sun.
In praise of his immortal
revolutionary exploits party and state heads, political, public and other
personages presented him with at least 39 900 gifts.
He was conferred the title of
Generalissimo of the DPRK for the immortal services he had rendered to the
country and the people and also held in high esteem as Eternal General
Secretary of the WPK and Chairman of the National Defense Commission of the
DPRK.
Though short,
the life of Kim Jong Il would remain alive forever in the
hearts of the Korean and world progressive peoples.
