A great sage of the revolution who shines his long history of revolutionary leadership with heroic struggle

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"General Kim Jong Il was a peerless patriot; he loved his country and fellow people more ardently than anyone else did, and he devoted his whole life to achieving the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people. Thus he performed imperishable exploits that are etched in the history of the country."

The history of the revolutionary leadership of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il shines with heroic struggle.

Looking back the history of patriotic devotion of the legendary great man, we are filled with the infinite pride of how great man we had as our leader.

The course of his struggle is the history of the offensive in which he braved all the trials and difficulties head on.

Nobody in the world can defeat the person who doesn't fear to die, who will be the final winner and we will surely win. This is the matchless courage and grit of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il.

In the 1990s when the imperialists were making desperate efforts to suffocate the DPRK, he devoted everything to strengthening the People's Army and resolutely smashed the challenges of history.

In those days it involves the dangerous moment when we pushed the field car down the cliff on Mt. Osong, and the visit to the soldiers on Cho Island and the day when he crossed the rugged path of Chol Pass with a handle.

Our Korean people remember the image of the great leader who continued the road of revolution without hesitation or vacillation in any adversity, singing in his mind the song "We Will Go along this road with hope even if nobody can understand him".

The steadfast faith and will of Kim Jong Il are based on the noblest sense of mission for the revolution and boundless sense of responsibility for the destiny of the people.

Kim Jong Il had in mind the ardent desire to provide our people with happy life and the firm belief to defend our country at any cost.

The people ardently wished him to have a rest for his health, but he continued his march on train for people saying that it is a rest for him. The image of Kim Jong Il is the good example of the faith and will the fighter should have.

Under the leadership of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, our people have learned how to live by their own efforts, how to defeat the enemy and overcome difficulties, and how to defend their dignity and truth.

This is a precious wealth for our Korean people who have to overcome severe trials and difficulties in the future, too.

The whole life of Kim Jong Il who led the revolution and brought up the people in the van of the offensive will shine forever along with the advance and development of the country.

Kim Jong Il's struggle is a history of his self-sacrificing devotion yearning for the prosperous future of our country.

"Live not merely for today but for tomorrow", this was his noble view of life. When the country was undergoing difficulties, the great leader presented a bright blueprint for building a powerful nation based on self-reliance and made a bold decision to use precious funds for CNC for the bright future.

Leaving the streets, villages and dead factories behind him, Kim Jong Il shed tears of blood, not simple tears in his heart, but he was steering the road of prosperity in the van.

It was the noble intention and the earnest request of Kim Jong Il to do everything perfectly so that the coming generations can benefit from them in the future.

His whole life was, indeed, the noble life of the peerlessly great man who did everything he could for the prosperity of the nation like the root supporting the giant tree.

Our socialist country of Juche, where the independent dignity of our people is shining, is the country defended by Kim Jong Il with ardent enthusiasm and affection, and the valuable life and happiness enjoyed by the Korean people is the result of his sufferings.

That is why our Korean people say that Korea would cease to exist without him and that we won the victory thanks to his leadership.

Today the DPRK is demonstrating its dignity with the exploits performed by Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Il is always alive amidst the prosperity of the DPRK advancing with his idea and intention.

The life of the peerlessly great man who shines his long history of revolutionary leadership with heroic struggle is a precious example of training all the Korean people to be indomitable fighters and ardent patriots who resemble him.

That we live and struggle in the way of Kim Jong Il is that we are boundlessly faithful to the revolution, infinitely sincere to the people and devote ourselves to the country like Kim Jong Il.

Our people will bravely break through all challenges and difficulties as befitting the soldiers and disciples of Kim Jong Il and build a prosperous powerful country of Juche on this land without fail.
