People should not be Allowed to Carry Loads on Their Backs

 2026.9.1.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"The glorious and ennobling life of Comrade Kim Jong Il was that of a great revolutionary who, upholding the red flag of the revolution, blazed a trail with his iron will and super-human energy, and that of a peerless patriot who devoted his all to his country and his people."

In the immortal revolutionary history of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, who devoted his all to the people, remains a story about his loving care that mobilized helicopters for the carrying of building materials to the mountain tops during the construction of VHF relay stations and TV relay towers so that people would not bear loads on their backs.

One day in early September 1975, when the construction of VHF relay stations and TV relay towers were underway across the country, he was acquainting himself with the progress of the project when he was reported by one of the officials in charge that the construction materials were being carried on people's backs to the high and rugged mountain tops where lorries, tractors and oxen could not reach.

Being reported, he was rather enraged and severely reproached him for his late report.

The official, who had been told off by the great General, could not stand feeling guilty about having had the construction materials loaded on people's backs, regarding it as inevitable.

Reading the officials' self-complacency, he said that people should no longer be allowed to carry loads on their backs although the construction was for the sake of people, and asked him how many helicopters would be needed for carriage.

The official was so touched that he could not say anything. The General said that helicopters should be used for such occasions and that he would provide them as required so that all the building materials, machinery and equipment would be carried up by helicopter.

The helicopters carrying his loving care flew into the sky right away and thus the construction progressed at a faster speed.

Chairman Kim Jong Il was, indeed, a benevolent father who showed all sorts of love and care for people without any calculations.
