Lofty World of Patriotism Touching Heartstrings of All People
Recollecting Immortal Classic Masterpieces Written by President
The boundless yearning for President
The President is a peerless patriot who built people-centered socialism of Korean style and laid eternal foundation for the lasting prosperity of all generations to come.
The President keenly felt the preciousness of the country through his experience of stateless people’s misfortune and pain from his childhood.
The most ardent and lofty was his love for the country.
His ardent patriotism is reflected in the immortal classics he personally wrote.
Whenever thinking about the world of lofty patriotism possessed by the President, we solemnly recollect the immortal classic "Song of Korea" before anything else.
The President who was directing great efforts to implanting in the hearts of young people the soul of Korea in early １９２８ in Fusong personally wrote the words of the immortal classic "Song of Korea" and set it to music. The song was published in the newspaper "Saenal" to imbue the youth and people with the love for the country and revolutionary optimism.
Every line of the masterpiece vividly reminds us of the venerable image of the President, who made the ２５０-mile journey for revolution with burning desire to liberate the country as quickly as possible and turn everything into ours, into Korea’s after making a grim resolve not to return before Korea had become independent.
There is no such a great patriot as the President who declared resistance against Japanese imperialists armed to the teeth and embarked on the road of bloody struggle for liberating the country even in his teens, ambitious to liberate the country, the most beautiful one, in reliance on our people and glorify it.
The immortal classic "Nostalgia" warmly conveys the President’s whole life shining with great patriotism.
Its melody still touches heartstrings of our people.
Once, the President recollected with great emotion the unforgettable song "Nostalgia", saying that he and other anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters kept the love for the country deep in mind singing that song on mountains and bravely annihilated the Japanese imperialists on the strength of that song.
Ardent as his love for the country was, the President wrote in person many immortal classics reflective of his iron-like will to liberate the beloved country lost to the Japanese imperialists at any cost.
The immortal classics including "Song of Anti-Japanese War" and "Song of the Sea of Blood" the President personally wrote in the days of the anti-Japanese revolution show his unwavering faith and firm will to accomplish the cause of national liberation.
It was when the President was returning from his first north Manchurian expedition.
Snowstorm and biting cold checked the advance of the ranks while persevering pursuit by the enemy and extreme difficulty of obtaining food made the members stand at the crossroads of life and death.
At the time when the ranks were making a narrow escape from trials, the President who was guiding the ranks in the van fell seriously ill.
It was the destiny of the country and nation the President first cared for before himself amid bitter cold, high fever and semiconscious condition.
He incorporated his extraordinary will to rescue the revolution, the country and people in misery whatever may happen in his immortal classic "Song of Anti-Japanese War".
With such a fervent love for the country, the President finally brought about the historic event of national liberation.
Indeed, the President is a peerless patriot and a great man who performed immortal exploits before the country and revolution, people and all generations to come.
The immortal classic "Mt. Myohyang on an Autumn Day", an impromptu poem recited by the President in October １９７９, still tells the world of his great patriotism.
Recollecting the peerless great man’s noble world of patriotism through the immortal classics, our people are full of boundless reverence for the respected Comrade General Secretary
It is the steel-like faith of the respected Comrade General Secretary to turn our country into the most dignified country, the socialist paradise where the people enjoy all blessings to the full.
