It was one day in mid-February 1977.
President Kim Il Sung said to an official to plant such crops as bean without his garden left vacant.
The President’s saying was so sudden that the official hesitated to answer him promptly. As a matter of fact, 1977 was the first year when the President started his work at the (then) Kumsusan Assembly Hall.
The President covered battlefields clouded with smoke and distant and dangerous roads of field guidance for the sake of the people, in his whole life. It was an ardent desire of our people to have the President work at the best office in the world.
Nevertheless, the President told to plant crops even on the vacant space of his garden.
After a while the official answered with excitement that he would do it. As a result, there appeared a plot in one side of the garden of the Kumsusan Assembly Hall. Later the President told to expand the plot wider. He chose the crops like bean, maize, buckwheat and broad bean for the plot and cultivated them.
And the President said that, if the trial plot was arranged finely, he could grasp farming situation of the plot and give guidance to farming across the country without traveling far to the spot. Saying that he would teach the farming method, the President told him to do good farming.
Even on rainy and windy nights when he was away for field guidance, the President made calls to ask about the plot situation. Whenever he returned after field guidance, he always went to the plot before others and acquainted himself with it.
As he was, indeed, the people’s leader who didn’t mind his pain in order to make the people lead better life but preferred aroma of cereals to fragrance of flowers, the President had such an uncommon garden and took care of it.
