Listening to his heart's story, the President encouraged him to study the geography of Korea to the full and bring into full bloom the dream he had cherished in his youth.
The President discussed the building of a new country with him sitting on a wooden chair at an outdoor resting place.
Later, the President visited Paeksong-ri on April 12, Juche 41 (1952) during the Fatherland Liberation War.
He said that the university should carry out the research for the natural resources of the country and make rational use of them.
In order to carry out the tasks given by the President in July, Juche 41 (1952), he took charge of a group of researchers in the northern highlands formed of teachers and students of
After the war, he led teachers and students of the university to conduct a preliminary survey of the west coastal tideland cutting his way through the mud in the severe winter weather, thus supporting in the van the work of land development of lasting significance and the grand nature-remaking project planned and designed by President.
Later, in the late 1960s, when tideland reclamation began on a large scale in our country, he continued his thoughts and research to carry out the President's instructions that it was important to solve the water problem in farming on the newly reclaimed tideland.

In this way, Pak Thae Hun contributed to carrying out the grand nature-remaking project by finishing the survey of the tideland in the difficult post-war period, true to the President's grand plan for transforming nature and arrived at his senescence.
But thanks to the trust and love of the President, he could devote his passion to education and geographical study and make new scientific research achievements even in his old ages overcoming mental laxity.
He took part in the education of the rising generation and scientific research from Juche 52 (1963) to Juche 80 (1991) and trained a large number of holders of academic degrees and titles.
He wrote many essays, textbooks and reference books including "Tideland of Korea", " Beautiful landscape", "Wide prospect of the west coast Tideland", "Natural Geography of Korea", "Natural conditions and resources" and "Geography Dictionary" to contribute to the geographical development of the DPRK.
In high appreciation of his feats, President
