President Kim Il Sung’s teachings on the greatness of leader Kim Jong Il

- Abstracts from volume 44 of Kim Il Sung’s works -

In our country Comrade Kim Jong Il has been giving wise leader­ship to all the work of the Party, state and army; the problem of ensuring continuity of leadership has thus been brilliantly solved.

In our country now Party work is successful, state work is suc­cessful, military operations are successful and socialist construction is successful, under the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Il.

Comrade Kim Jong Il is the genuine leader of the people. He is loyal and dutiful and versed in civil and military affairs. He is a pre­eminent thinker and theoretician, statesman and military strategist, unfailingly loyal to the country and people and very dutiful to his parents. He is the paragon of loyalty and filial devotion.

Comrade Kim Jong Il has been engaged in ideological and theo­retical activities with an unusually strong spirit of inquiry and ener­gy, brightening our Party’s Juche idea as the great guiding ideology of the age of independence.

In other words, he has cultivated the Juche idea, the seed which I had planted in the soil of our people and developed, into a thriving crop and has gathered a rich harvest, so to speak.

Comrade Kim Jong Il gives wise leadership to the revolution and construction with uncommon leadership ability.

Comrade Kim Jong Il strengthens the Party and enhances its leadership role as the main link in the whole chain of leading the revolution and construction.

Under the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Il, our revolution ushered in a new period of upsurge. Since he assumed leadership, a new change has taken place in all areas of political, economic and cultural work as well as in Party work.

I should say that Comrade Kim Jong Il has rendered distin­guished services when he has developed a powerful motive force, welding the Party and the popular masses into a single socio-politi­cal organism and effected a great historic change by transforming nature and society on the strength of the motive force.

This bespeaks his loyalty to the revolutionary cause of Juche and also proves his preeminent qualities and ability as the leader.

Comrade Kim Jong Il’s leadership has brought about a new change also in building up the revolutionary armed forces.

In line with the Juche-orientated policy of building the army, he stepped up the work of the Party’s political and ideological education, established the Juche-orientated military command system by which the entire army moves as one under the Party’s leadership, and made the People’s Army truly the army of the Party, the army of the revolution.

Comrade Kim Jong Il has unbreakable will, audacity, outstanding strategic intelligence and the art of military leadership worthy of the supreme commander of the revolutionary armed forces. This is the guarantee for the continuous development of our revolutionary armed forces and their victory in every battle.

Comrade Kim Jong Il has all the best qualities required of the people’s leader.

He is, before all else, unfailingly loyal and devoted to the Party and the revolution, and to the country and the people.

Comrade Kim Jong Il does everything to see that my wishes come true, and that the problems of my concern are resolved. Exactly here his loyalty to the Party and the leader, his devotion to the country and the people, and his filial devotion find concentrated expression.

Comrade Kim Jong Il has the virtue of respecting his seniors in the revolution.

He respects and gives prominence to the veteran revolutionaries, my comrades-in-arms in the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, and takes meticulous care of them in and out of work. He looks after retired veterans, providing them with good clothing and sending them to holiday homes every year to keep them in good health.

Judging from the single fact that Comrade Kim Jong Il respects the revolutionary forerunners and holds them in high public esteem, we can say that he has an excellent virtue as the leader of the people. If he trains many more officials loyal to the Party and the revolutionary cause and educates the younger generation so that all of them maintain the tradition of respecting their revolutionary forerunners, our revolutionary cause will be stoutly carried forward from genera­tion to generation.

Comrade Kim Jong Il takes care of the workers, farmers, intellec­tuals and all the other sections of the population in his embrace, puts them forward as the masters of our society and leads them to play their role as masters. He warmly looks after even people with stained family backgrounds or with chequered socio-political records without discrimination and enlists them as legitimate mem­bers of our revolutionary ranks if they follow our Party and support socialism at present. He always goes out among the people, shares weal and woe with them and spares nothing for their happiness.

I can say that love for and trust in his revolutionary comrades and the people are the basic characteristics of Comrade Kim Jong Il’s statesmanship.

Because Comrade Kim Jong Il carries forward our revolutionary cause splendidly, everything in our country is going successfully at present and will proceed with success in the future as well. The era of Kim Jong Il is glorious today and will be more prosperous and resplendent in the future. Our revolution has a really great future.

Kimjongilia, flower of the sun in full bloom

20 years have passed since Kimjongilia, flower of immortality, came out in the world.

Kimjongilia was bred by the Japanese horticulturist Kamo Mototeru. He presented leader Kim Jong Il with Kimjongilia, in celebration of his birthday in February, 1988.

The progressive humankind of the world admired the appearance of Kimjongilia named after the leader, highly praising him as the sun of independent era, prominent and outstanding leader and, father of all people.

Kimjongilia is the flower of sun that the world people present to leader Kim Jong Il, the peerless great man.

Therefore, the world people cultivate Kimjongilia along with Kimilsungila named after the august names of great men, eulogizing it as a flower symbolizing victory of the global cause of independence, not as a natural flower.

Kimjongilia has now been distributed and cultivated in more than 20 countries in Asia, Europe and Latin America.

The North European Kimjongilia Association was formed in Sweden in 1995, the Kimjongilia Association in Mongolia, the Kimjongilia Lovers Society in Japan and the American Kimilsungila and Kimjongilia Association and various kinds of organizations were formed in other countries and regions to distribute and cultivate the flower.

Charmed by the flower of the sun, the south Korean people cultivate the flower in their families with sincerity and sent the flower to the Kimjongilia festival held in Pyongyang every year.

The progressive organizations and figures supporting the cause of Korea’s reunification sent Kimjongilia to the festival every year, highly praising the greatness of leader Kim Jong Il and wishing his good health.

Wide distribution of Kimjongilia in the world is a true reflection of the world people’s warm reverence for him.

The 12th Kimjongilia Festival is now being held in Pyongyang, reflecting the warm feelings of the Korean and world people.

The Kimjongilia festival is the greatest basket of flowers and a poem dedicated to leader Kim Jong Il who enjoys boundless respect from the progressive humankind for the great exploits he has performed for the country, era and revolution.

Kimjongilia will come into full bloom century after century with the world people’s infinite admiration for leader Kim Jong Il.
