54 years have elapsed since
leader Kim Jong Il
started his Songun-based revolutionary leadership with a visit to
Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th
Tank Division of the KPA on August 25, Juche 49(1960).
From the historic day till the
last period of life Kim Jong Il
went wherever soldiers lived, looking after their life with parental
affection.
One spring day in Juche 84(1995)
he dropped in at a women’s coast artillery company on the tour of
his Songun-based revolutionary leadership and took a measure for the
soldiers to come up to Pyongyang for relaxation.
He mapped out a schedule for
their tour and instructed officials to make an able cameraman
accompany them to take souvenir photographs of them and provide
photograph albums to them.
The soldiers spent a good time.
When they were to return, the soldiers received photograph albums,
collective and individual, from Kim Jong Il.
Opening the albums, every
soldier was surprised to find the first page blank.
An official told them how it
was.
Kim Jong Il
had seen a company photograph album and small individual photograph
albums showing girl soldiers smiling in happiness.
Examining the composition of
photographs and their color and the quality of print paper, he
watched an individual photograph on the first page and was lost in
thought.
After a while he suggested
leaving the first page blank, saying:
“In the future the girl
soldiers would be discharged from service. They would marry and have
wedding picture taken. Then, it would be very significant to put the
wedding picture on the blank page, I think.”
Like this, Kim
Jong Il, seeing
photograph albums, took a quite scrupulous interest in the future of
girl soldiers as their father rather than their Supreme Commander.
That’s why the soldiers of the
Korean People’s Army call him their father, trusting in him
absolutely and supporting his ideas and leadership more faithfully
than anybody else.
Kim Jong Il’s
Songun-based revolutionary leadership was a proud history of forming
a harmonious whole with soldiers and emerging victorious by dint of
its strength.
The history will continue under
the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un,
Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army who is just the same
with leader Kim Jong Il.
