Life of President Kim Il Sung

The life of the great leader of the Korean people Kim Il Sung was a life brilliant with field guidance. He called on the people, walking rugged roads rain or snow. Since he left his home village Mangyongdae and set out on the road of revolution President Kim Il Sung always found himself among the people and, relying on them, waged an arduous revolutionary struggle against the Japanese imperialists and liberated the country.

After he returned home in triumph after liberation, he called on the workers of the then Kangson Steel Works, passing by his longed-for native home within a hailing distance. He made a long, ceaseless journey of field guidance from the beginning of the building of a new society to the last days of his life.



Here is a touching story. On the way back from his field guidance to several local areas in the early autumn of Juche 36 or 1947 President Kim Il Sung called at a remote mountain hamlet in Yangdok. When he visited his simple house, the old host, showing him a notebook in which he had jotted down his excitement of the day, said: "I wrote in this notebook that General Kim Il Sung visited my home. I will hand it down to my children." With a smile on his face President Kim Il Sung warmly said to him that he should write that golds should be picked from all mountains and hand it down to the children.

The life of his field guidance is decorated with such legend-like stories. In the last days of his life, too, President Kim Il Sung made all efforts for the people´s happiness on the road of his field guidance.

The footprints of his field guidance are found in all parts of the country ranging from the northern border of the country to a rural village near the demarcation line, from a small fishing port on the east coast to a far-off island on the West Sea. The course of the field guidance he made for the people all his life is as long as 14 rounds of the globe and a half. Indeed, the life of the great President Kim Il Sung was a life of field guidance he made for the happiness of the people and for the prosperity of the country.
