The immortal revolutionary career of Chairman Kim Jong Il, who paid absolute trust to and devoted his all to his revolutionary comrades and people all his life, is shining forever as the history of great comradeship.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"General Kim Jong Il's comradeship was based on his firm trust in, selfless devotion to and warm affection for his comrades, and on the death-defying spirit of unhesitatingly going against all odds for their sake."

The revolutionary history of Chairman Kim Jong Il is the history of great comradeship throughout which he trained all his comrades and people to become revolutionaries with invariable trust in them and led them warmly along the road of the sacred revolution.

Absolute trust in the revolutionary comrades and people was the noble motto he kept in his heart throughout his revolutionary life and the highest manifestation of comradely love that brought them into the bosom of great love and provided them with genuine pride of life and eternal happiness.

Belief is love, and its magnitude is proportional to the height of love. It is because there can be no love without belief, and belief itself is consistent with love.

Chairman Kim Jong Il's trust in his revolutionary comrades and people was an absolute one believing them just like himself, an immutable one believing them until the end, and the noblest one that could parallel with the entire trust all over the world.

He enriched the decades-long history of revolutionary leadership as the glorious one of comradeship by absolutely believing in and relying on their inexhaustible strength, cherishing the firm comradely belief that only comrades and people are the ones who will share life and death with him to the end on the road of revolution.

That is why the Korean revolutionaries cherished the great comradely trust of Chairman Kim Jong Il as their lifeline and held him in high esteem with loyalty anytime and anywhere, and recorded the history of purest loyalty and obligation to their leader with the firm faith and will that they would have nothing more to desire only if they had his trust.

The revolutionary history of Chairman Kim Jong Il is also the history of sacred comradeship which was associated with his ardent devotion to his revolutionary comrades and people.

Devotion is love and an important factor that steadily consolidates it.

Love is not only a self-consciousness that one should love, but also a noble act that manifests itself as a practical act of love and devotion.

Therefore, devotion to comrades and people itself is love for them, and it is the most important factor in consolidating the relations of comradely love.

His revolutionary comradeship was the highest level of his self-sacrificing spirit and the highest peak of his boundless devotion for his comrades and people and the most precious ideological and spiritual source that recorded the history of the immortal revolutionary struggle as the one of the greatest devotions.

He set a brilliant example in his great revolutionary leadership, regarding it as the true nature and the real spirit of life of a revolutionary that only the one who could die for his comrade and could take care of him forever even at the cost of his life could get a genuine comrade.

He regarded it as his lifelong mission for the times, history, country, revolution and people to devote his whole life to the country and people and glorified the whole course of revolutionary leadership as the one of great devotion and immortal comradeship.

Saying that the stars in the sky should be picked and flowers be grown on the stones for the sake of the people, he gave them the most precious things from all over the world and all the love and benevolence.

His devotion to the revolutionary comrades and people was the noblest, the most ardent and infinite one that could not be compared to the height of the sky or the depth of the sea.

He visited comrades and people all his life, made every effort to spare nothing for them, saying that we should never seek for the economic benefit in the work for the people and made such a long and rugged journey to realize all the people's wishes. The long journey of his undying devotion is being descended as a legend of great comradely love unprecedented in history.

This long journey tells a legendary story of love he made by pushing his car when it started to slide down on the sharp-end cliff of Mt Osong to visit his beloved soldiers and give them love and benevolence. It also tells a story of heartfelt love he gave to the people by making a forced march, traversing the muddy and rugged path covered with cold snow.

He loved his comrades and people so much that he made undying devotion having a short and uncomfortable sleep and simple rice-balls on his way to see the people and soldiers.

Indeed, the revolutionary career of Chairman Kim Jong Il was an immortal history of benevolent fatherly love embroidered with comradely love for his revolutionary comrades and people, and the history of his revolutionary comradeship is shining forever.
