On October 9, 1990, President Kim Il Sung received a delegation headed by chairwoman Doi Takako of the Socialist Party of Japan, who visited the DPRK to attend events to celebrate the 45^th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, and arranged a luncheon for the delegation.

At the luncheon Doi said that the President was aged but looked youthful and asked him about the secret of his youthfulness.

With a smile on his face the President said that it was to live optimistically instead of worrying even before collapse of the heaven.

When Doi suggested a toast for his optimism, the President agreed with her by saying that four cups of liquor are OK because people drink three cups when they perform a sacrificial rite for the god, but they are more intelligent than the god.

And then, the President toasted together with members of her delegation.
