Whole life of Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the DPRK people was the most brilliant life of a peerless patriot, a people’s leader who continued high-intensity forced march for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people holding aloft the banner of Juche, the banner of Songun.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said.
“Though he devoted his all throughout his life to the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, he left nothing for himself. He was on the most intensive forced march, taking not a moment’s rest, until he breathed his last on a moving train. Such a leader has never been witnessed anywhere in the world.”
Chairman Kim Jong Il’s high-intensity forced march was the round-the-clock forced march irrespective of day and night, the forced march of arduous long journey covered everywhere including the urban and rural areas, the flat and mountainous areas, the steep mountains, etc. and the forced march of boundless devotion and labor made even in the cold weather of winter and the hottest period of summer. His high-intensity forced march included the one he covered while regarding the train as his office room and the one he made while taking a field vehicle to cross steep mountains.
In the whole period of leading the revolution, Kim Jong Il continued his high-intensity forced march devoting his labors without a moment’s rest not only on holidays and red-letter days but even on his birthday.
It can be found in the fact that Kim Jong Il, in his whole period of leading the revolution, gave field guidance to over 14 290 units while covering over 669 844km, which is equivalent to the 17 rounds of the earth.
Kim Jong Il covered high-intensity forced march of boundless and unimaginable devotion and labor, because he kept a principle of life cherished in his whole life.
His principle was that the harder he works, the more country prospers and happier the people become.
He failed to have enough sleep, rest and food because he was always lack of time. He said that he wanted to take rest but could not do it because of the thought that the advance of the country would be slow if he took a brief rest. He always said that he would have a full rest and lessen his accumulated fatigue as the people wished when he puts the DPRK on the highest level of the world and the people lead affluent life without envying in the world. Grudged the passing time, Kim Jong Il would not look at the watch but he was much pleased saying that he relieved of his fatigue whenever he saw the people’s happiness come true and devoted his all to the country and the people while finding his happiness in the progress of the country and the happiness of the people.
With this principle, he continued the long journey of field guidance for the sake of prosperity of country and the happiness of the people.
Following Kim Jong Il’s traces of high-intensity march of field guidance, the flames of revolutionary great upsurge were ignited in every part of the country and the miraculous events unfolded startling the world.
Today, the DPRK displays powerful national strength while demonstrating its might as a nuclear power and satellite manufacturer and launcher. This is ascribed to the lifelong exploits of Kim Jong Il who continued high-intensity forced march.
There are many leaders and great men in the world. However, there is not such a great man as Chairman Kim Jong Il who devoted his all to the country and people like a burning candle although he underwent all sorts of hardships as a revolutionary and a human being since he embarked on the road of the revolution.
Time advances, but the Korean people will never forget Chairman Kim Jong Il who continued high-intensity forced march all his life with passion and emotion.
