Happiest News

One early morning in April, 2001, Chairman Kim Jong Il visited a fish farm. Every fish pond of the large fish farm in tiers in a cosy valley was teeming with rainbow trout. Seeing the neatly-built fish ponds and the spectacular scenery of the cosy fish farm like a park, the Chairman had a smile of pleasure in his eyes. Then, he expressed great pleasure over the fact that the sure prospect for gratifying the wish of President Kim Il Sung, who had been so solicitous about providing our people with plenty of more kinds of fish, was opened up. When one of the officials told him that they had supplied some rainbow trout to the people on the occasion of the Day of the Sun, the Chairman was so glad that he highly appreciated their good job. Then, the Chairman smiled a broad smile, saying that it was the happiest news he had ever heard.

Trivial, Yet Significant

It was one day decades ago. That day Chairman Kim Jong Il was giving an official precious instructions on the development of the country’s postal service when suddenly he asked what prevented the production of envelopes for people. At that time, the officials thought it would cause no problems as people could make things like envelopes by themselves. Learning about this, the Chairman told him in a solicitous tone that the failure to maintain the supply of envelopes would cause considerable inconvenience to our people as they each would bother to make them whenever necessary. He explained to the conscience-stricken official that the envelopes would not certainly need much paper and, even if they would, we should spare nothing as it was for the good of our people. Then, he emphasized that the addition of stamps and illustrations on the envelopes and the supply of postcards in various formats along with them would provide the people with more convenience as well as beautiful aesthetic sentiments.

Significant Photo Session with Mothers

The women who attended the Fifth National Meeting of Mothers held in December, 2023, have a precious memory. It is a historical moment when they were honored to have a significant photo taken in the presence of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un. Looking up to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, all the participants in the conference were full of great excitement and gratitude as he bestowed all affection and benevolence on them repeatedly although they only fulfilled their due responsibility and duty of motherhood for their families and society. He had a significant photo session with them, wishing health and happiness to all the mothers who had displayed the mental and moral traits of the Korean women best in the world while invariably taking the road of devotion for their families and younger generation and for the prosperity and development of the country, cherishing deep in mind the dearest and sacred call, mother.

To Resuscitate a Scientist

One day in March, 2017, an aged scholar at Kim Chaek University of Technology (KUT) who had been dedicating his whole life to scientific research fell into a critical state because of an attack of brain hemorrhage while staying at a factory for his scientific research work. Upon receipt of the report on this, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un immediately saw to it that an excellent medical team from a central hospital was sent to the site by means of a military helicopter, saying that we should not hesitate even a moment for the issues concerning the lives of scientists and technicians as they are valuable assets our Party values and loves most. In addition, when the helicopter with the medical team was getting near Hamhung, he made sure that it reached the site as soon as possible for intense first-aid treatment and personally made the treatment plan of sending the patient to the central hospital by helicopter as soon as he got a little better. When he heard the report that the helicopter with the patient arrived in Pyongyang the next day, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un emphasized to revive the life of the researcher of KUT at any cost. Saying that necessary medicine and competent doctors should be sent to the hospital and a sincere consultation should be held to save his life, he personally guided the medical team’s treatment several times on that single day alone. Having never met before, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un valued an unknown scientist who had dedicated his life to scientific research work to implement the instructions of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il so highly that he sent a lot of precious medicine and dispatched several officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Cabinet. Indeed, the benevolence of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was that of a beloved father found nowhere else in the world. Eventually, the scientist, who had already stepped over the threshold into the hell, was miraculously recovered by the great love of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

Lobby Undergoes Another Change

One day in November, 2012, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited Chongryu Health Complex, which was nearing its completion. Looking with delight at the lobby furnished with couches around the flower bed full of various kinds of flowers on the first floor, he expressed great satisfaction over the tasteful flower bed. The officials were excited over the fact that another wonderful rest place was born thanks to his ardent love for the people, when he happened to look round the lobby once again and suddenly wore a look of discontent across his face. After a short while, he pointed out the need to replace the carpet laid on the floor with parquet, offering red sandalwood blocks. He said that the woodblock covering would make a great change to the circular rest place. This is how the love of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who spares nothing for the people, brought about another change to the appearance of the lobby.

Against Even a Small Bit of Inconvenience

One day several decades ago, Chairman Kim Jong Il visited a small branch of a general shop. After learning in detail about commodity supply from the shop assistant, the Chairman asked her whether they always had sundry goods in stock. The shop assistant replied that every item is always provided well for sale. As she said, the display racks were packed with dozens of various sundry goods. Looking closely at the miscellaneous goods of various sizes, shapes and colors, the Chairman said that he could not find needles. The shop assistant looked over the department and hung down her head for shame. She was unaware that the needles had sold out. Feeling sorry about it, the Chairman instructed that although a needle is a miscellaneous item, it is indispensable for people’s daily life and that if we do not pay attention to such small items, it might cause inconvenience in people’s life. The shop assistant was deeply moved. In the past, a lot of officials had visited the shop but no one had ever been concerned for such a small item as a needle. It was only the Chairman who was so solicitous about the absence of needles, fathoming the people’s inconvenience that it might cause.
