Dear father

The Korean people uphold and follow the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un as their dear father.

He is the father of the great family who takes care of the people and devotes his all to their happiness.

Whenever he sets forth a policy or brings about an event, the people have first felt his heartfelt and deep sincerity of caring for them in his courageous decisions, practice and results.

When he came to a rural village hit by flash flood, the villagers shed tears as they pushed his car stuck in the muddy road. When a woman who entrusted the Workers’ Party of Korea with the destiny of her son who had taken a wrong road of life sent him a letter of earnest gratitude, he sent a reply letter full of benevolence.

He has always been among the people.

At the inauguration ceremony of 10 000 flats at the third stage in the Hwasong area held last April, he said that he was sorry to provide the modern apartment houses only then and that he was firmly determined to take upon himself more tasks for the people while seeing the citizens full of emotion and joy that day. And he wished them happy life in good health in the new houses.

At the inauguration ceremony of the regional-industry factories in Songchon County, which were built in some ten months as the first fruition since the start of the regional-industry revolution, he said that at the thought of being able to provide new, modern factories to the locals in that region, he felt a little relieved of what he had always been sorry about before the regional people.

When he visited the reconstruction site in North Phyongan Province again in November two years ago, he said that he always had a heavy heart for the memory of the heart-rending sight of the flooded villages he had seen during the emergency rescue of the local people from flood risk just some months ago, but he was really pleased to see sturdy banks and rural houses of various urban styles rising up competitively as they boasted of their original form in the safe zone, adding that we made a worthwhile and correct decision and brought about a great change with our own efforts by believing in ourselves.

It is his firm will that there is nothing more important than relieving the people of their pain and suffering, getting closer to them and sharing weal and woe with them when the country is in a difficult situation.

He set not only simple wishes of the people but even the centuries-old desires that had never been imagined in the past as projects for fulfilling the long-cherished desire of the Workers’ Party of Korea. Once he makes a promise to the people, he never delays it but translates it into a perfect entity without fail and immediately in that year and on the highest level.

All the glory of the state and all the happiness of the people in the present times are the precious results of his noble devotion.

That is why the Korean people trust and follow him as the dear father of the people, to whom they entrust their destiny and future, and faithfully support his leadership.
