General and His Jacket

General and His Jacket

Inside the train preserved in the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun where Chairman Kim Jong Il lies in state, hangs the jacket he used to wear.

Visitors hardly move their steps before the jacket very much familiar to them.

In May Juche 73(1984), Chairman Kim Jong Il presented a suit of clothe and necktie to President Kim Il Sung returned after his official visit to foreign countries.

Chairman Kim Jong Il said President Kim Il Sung to work with frequent rest as he had worked for all his life in buttoned clothe almost the same as the combat dress and that he would work for people harder instead of the President in field jacket.

Chairman Kim Jong Il, wearing casual jacket gave day and night field guidance as he had sweared before the President.

From that moment the people of the DPRK saw Chairman Kim Jong Il in casual jacket at their post, working places, home and the world people too saw him wearing jacket on his visit to foreign countries.

Until the last period of his life, Chairman Kim Jong Il was on the way for the people wearing casual jacket.

Chairman Kim Jong Il is alive for ever in the heart of the Korean and the world people as the sun like image in casual jacket.
