A Great Man’s Noble Sense of Moral Obligation
July 8 this year marks the 29th anniversary of the demise of President Kim Il Sung, the founder of socialist Korea.
On this day, the people of the DPRK look back with deep emotion on the strong ties President Kim Il Sung maintained with people overseas and the noble sense of moral obligation he showed them during his lifetime.
“My Brother My Savior”
President Kim Il Sung valued the friendship he formed with Great King Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia, and offered him constant and sincere help for 30 years.
When the King was living in exile after falling from power due to the U.S.-fabricated military coup, President Kim Il Sung personally invited the King and continued to treat him as the head of state of Cambodia while rendering active support by doing everything possible for him to be reinstated.
He built a beautiful “Sihanouk Palace” in Pyongyang for the annually-visiting King, and prepared even birthday banquets in the honor of the Queen and the Queen Mother, not to mention the King himself.
The King called President Kim Il Sung a benevolent brother of his and a great savior. “There were many who showed pity towards our Cambodia, but was there anyone who actually helped us with no strings attached? Only His Excellency President Kim Il Sung of the DPRK reached out an unconditional and self-sacrificing helping hand,” he said.
“A Man with A Noble View on Mentors”
“A man who has a mentor he can recollect throughout his life is truly a happy man. In this sense, I am a happy man.” wrote President Kim Il Sung in his reminiscences “With The Century”.
The mentor mentioned by President Kim Il Sung was Shang Yue who taught philology and literature at Yuwen Middle School in Jilin of China, where the President studied during the second half of the 1920s, after he departed from Japanese-occupied Korea to wage a revolutionary struggle in China’s northeastern region with determination not to return until the independence of Korea was achieved.
The President met the eldest daughter of Shang Yue, Shang Jia-lan in August 1989. He recollected with deep emotion that Shang Yue was his protector who strongly influenced his outlook on the world, and therefore he remembered Shang Yue all his life as a great mentor.
The President said over and over again that he regretted so much that he didn’t get to meet Shang Yue while he was alive. And he told Shang Jia-lan to visit the DPRK any time with all the family members in the future.
The President met Shang Yue’s four children when they visited our country in 1989, 1990 and 1991. He presented a wrist watch with his august name inscribed on it and other gifts to all of his old teacher’s children. He also provided meticulous care for them to enjoy their stay in scenic spots.
Shang Yue’s children visit Pyongyang on the Day of the Sun and on other major holidays of the DPRK. They say earnestly that President Kim Il Sung indeed possessed noble view on mentors and a sense of moral obligation.
“His Daughter All My Life”
In September 1993, Cuban lawyer Candelaria Rodriguez Hernandez received an unexpected invitation by President Kim Il Sung, which came as a surprise to her.
All she had done was about writing a book “Korea I Have Seen” in support of the Korean people’s struggle against the U.S. aggression after her visit to the country during the Korean War (1950-1953) as a member of an investigation team of the Women's International Democratic Federation when she was received by the President.
The President, who still remembered her, extended his kind invitation to her to visit the country in more than 40 years.
The President said that he regarded her as “an old revolutionary comrade-in-arms” and highly praised her as “a Cuban who fought against the U.S. imperialism on the Korean front”, when he met Candelaria in November 1993.
He gave her a gift bearing his august name and sent a woolen sweater and fur shoes caring about her, coming from a hot country, not to feel cold.
She was genuinely moved by the deep trust and care shown by the President. “I will live all my life as the daughter of Korea and the daughter of President Kim Il Sung to live up to the great trust the President placed in me by giving me a priceless title of a revolutionary comrade-in-arms.” said Candelaria from the bottom of her heart.
Research Report on Blood-stained History of U.S. Full of War Crimes
Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- On the occasion of the June 25-July 27 month of anti-U.S. joint struggle, the Society for International Politics Study of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on July 6 released a research report disclosing the blood-stained history of wars of aggression by U.S. imperialism that completely destroyed global peace and stability and plunged the earth into a war calamity and misery by provoking big and small bloody wars and armed conflicts.
The report cited the following data to disclose that the U.S. came into existence and has become corpulent through aggression and war:
The U.S. was not built by Indians, aborigines and masters of the American region, but mainly by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded the region, exterminated Indians and deprived them of their land.
At the end of their fight against the rulers of the British mainland to seize the control over North America, the Anglo-Saxon colonialists established the United States of America in 1776.
When the Anglo-Saxons seized the cradle of the life of Indians, the American aborigines, and declared their "independence", the territory of the then U.S. covered only some of the North American continent.
Quite unbecoming to this was the fact that the U.S. colonialists unhesitatingly and openly made their country go by the name of a continent called "America" and the general term "united states".
By doing so, the U.S. colonialists fully revealed their shameless and brigandish ambition for expansionism and aggressive nature to swallow up the whole of the American continent when they made the name of their country.
The U.S., whose territory had been 700 000 square kilometers only at the time of its foundation, seized other countries' territories of 9 million square kilometers through 114 predatory wars in about 130 years until the end of the 19th century, which were 13 times as large as its original territory.
The Stars and Stripes, consisting of the red-and white-colored 13 stripes meaning 13 states at the time of "independence" and 50 stars which came into being through annexation, intuitively shows the belligerence and the aggressive nature of the U.S. revealed in the course of territorial expansion.
The U.S. is also a country regarding aggression and war as its nature.
Countless are the U.S. military aggression, intervention and state-sponsored terrorism such as the 1950-1953 war of aggression against the DPRK, the invasion of Cuba and the Caribbean crisis in 1961, the invasion of Laos between 1964 and 1973, the military suppression of the Dominican people's progressive struggle in 1965, the 1964-1975 war of aggression against Vietnam, the invasion of Cambodia in 1970, the invasion of Grenada in 1983 and the invasion of Panama in 1989.
During the past Korean war the U.S. imperialists committed all sorts of brutal atrocities baffling human imagination against the Korean people. This brought to light their criminal nature created when massacring Indians.
The U.S. made no scruple of masterminding a coup through its armed invasion against any government, irrespective of whether it is of an ally or not, if it did something insignificant but against its ambition for world domination and graft.
For more than 40 years since the end of the Second World War to the end of the 1980s, the U.S. has masterminded more than 550 coups. This amounts to cooking up more than 10 coups across the world every year.
Such coups fabricated by the U.S. are aimed to stamp out justice, progress and independence and bring the countries which newly achieved independence under its control again, thus realizing its unchallengeable domination and securing its rights and interests in the regions where those countries are situated.
The U.S. invasion of Panama and Grenada showed before the world once again that it is an arrogant gangster-like state which regards it as easy as pie to sacrifice not only the president of a sovereign state but also many innocent lives for its interests and greed.
The U.S., which launched a brigandish "fear airstrike" at former Yugoslavia to bring the latter to its knees in 1999, has resorted to aggression, war and armed intervention in different parts of the world even in the 21st century, being blamed by the world people.
It is precipitating its self-destruction through aggression and war, the report said, and went on:
When the 45-year-long "Cold War" ended with the collapse of the former Soviet Union in the 1990s, the U.S., which styled itself the world's "only superpower," had harbored a foolish pipedream that it can keep the world under its thumb as the "powerful U.S." and the "powerful only superpower," entering the 21st century.
On September 11, 2001, the 110-storeyed twin buildings of the World Trade Center, the "icon of the U.S. economic power," and its 47-storeyed annex in New York were completely destroyed by the attack of four airliners, and some parts of the building of the U.S. Defense Department in Washington collapsed, an extra-large incident that caused a lot of casualties.
Occasioned by the September 11 incident, the U.S. declared a "war on terrorism", labeled the countries incurring its displeasure as "den of terrorism" and "sponsor of terrorism" at its will and launched a madcap "anti-terrorist war" by mobilizing huge forces.
The U.S. ignited a war against Afghanistan by mobilizing huge forces, a curtain-raiser to the "war on terrorism", in October, 2001. It launched an invasion of Iraq in 2003, which was followed by its invasion of Libya through a large-scale airstrike in 2011 and a war against Syria in 2015.
Seized with extreme arrogance and uni-polar hegemonism, the U.S. declared its "victory" after easily bringing down the weak Taliban government of Afghanistan with recourse to its superior military muscle and the "allied forces." Then its "war on terrorism" spilled over into other countries as a war of aggression.
Under the signboard of "eliminating WMD", the U.S. launched a unilateral military attack on Iraq and continued its "war on terrorism." This was not just for combating terrorism but was mainly aimed to seize the rich oil resources in Iraq and put the Middle East region under its control with the country as a strategic vantage point.
Recently, the U.S. has masterminded countless "proxy wars" by instigating its stooges and anti-government forces in the countries and regions disturbing its realization of the wild ambition for world domination. Due to this, armed conflicts and wars are unabated and refugee crisis lingers across the world. The U.S. is using such troubled waters for gaining profits.
However, the U.S. policy of aggression has faced a stumbling block.
The U.S. started a "war on terrorism", touting "freedom", "prosperity" and "development", but it has become clear that it has only caused huge casualties, drained state finances and extreme disorder and chaos.
The war maniacs of the U.S. are asserting that a "new world" managed by the U.S., the "eldest brother" of the world, will soon emerge. They persist in fanning the war fever, saying the whole world will kneel down once it is pounded by their "iron fist" again.
This is no more than a pipedream.
It is because it is a law of historical development that those keen on aggression, plunder and war are bound to meet ruin.
The horror of the "empire of power" once rampant throughout the world has turned into derision and ridicule at it. The movement for rejecting the U.S.-advocating "unipolar world" and realizing multi-polarization has become a worldwide trend.
Against this backdrop, a long documentary film containing a meaningful dialog "empire's rule can never last forever … the U.S. domination will soon end" was produced and screened in the U.S. a few years ago. This hints at many things.
The end of the U.S. hegemony, being acknowledged even in the U.S., is an outcome of history declaring the impending collapse of the "empire of power" in the 21st century.
The reality clearly shows once again that brigandish U.S. imperialism is the principal force of aggression and war and the most hideous enemy of mankind.
As long as the hegemony-seeking entity of aggression called the U.S. exists, there will be no peaceful day on this planet and it is preposterous to talk about genuine peace and stability.
The international community loving justice and peace should go all out for the struggle against the U.S., the chief culprit of aggression and war, and contribute to bringing peace, stability and genuine international justice to the world.
Home of Happiness Brimming with Love for Future
Today, all the students at the Pyongyang Secondary Boarding School- a wonderful palace of love and home of happiness built without any flaw thanks to our Party’s noble view on posterity and future-are fully enjoying the paternal love of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.
On July 2, 2016, seven years ago, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un spared his valuable time to visit the Pyongyang Secondary Boarding School even though he was heavily preoccupied with lots of state affairs.
The panorama of the school brought a broad smile on his face. He appreciated the building is spacious and praised Pyongyang citizens for having done another great work worth boasting before the world; he said that whenever he passed the construction site, he looked forward to the day when the clear voices of the children reading and singing would reverberate far and wide.
On this scorching hot day of July, he looked around several places of the school with the love of parents who wish to give the best things to their children so that they can grow up without feeling the orphan’s sorrow.
At the dining room, he set forth detailed ways for the care of the children, saying that the children should never feel the sadness of orphans.
He said that the foodstuff such as staple and non-staple food, meat and fruit should be supplied on a regular basis, that school things and new school uniforms be provided every season, and that early fruits and special dishes also be served for them.
He also said to the accompanying officials that they should pay attention to the education and life of the parentless children to make sure they give full play to their talents and hopes.
Then, he had a broad smile on his face, saying that all of them are the sons and daughters of the Party, and our Party is blessed with many sons and daughters.
Even the sun’s rays fail to lift off all the shade. However, the loving care of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for our parentless children knows no limit.
In the embrace of the great sun, the children of the Pyongyang Secondary Boarding School are now learning to their hearts’ content with dreams of becoming such excellent people as the service personnel impregnably defending the defense lines of the country, famous scientists, artists, sportsmen exalting the dignity of the country and as the future heroes.
As we hold in high esteem respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who loves our posterity most and renders endless love and affection to them, the happy laughter of our younger generations will resound far and wide, and our future will be bright forever.
