Journey of Devotion He Made in Midsummer


Visiting Construction Site in Sweltering Heat


One scorching day in August 2013, the respected Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un gave field guidance at the Mirim Riding Club under construction.

Going round various parts of the construction site, he indicated in detail the tasks arising in splendidly building the riding club.

Officials were deeply moved as his clothes got drenched in perspiration.

An accompanying official earnestly entreated the respected Comrade General Secretary to refrain from field guidance in midsummer, promising to do his work well.

Listening to his ardent request, the respected Comrade General Secretary said with a smile on his face that hot as it might be, he must do what he ought to for the sake of people.

In a week alone after the respected Comrade General Secretary’s field guidance at the Mirim Riding Club, he provided field guidance to construction sites of the Munsu Water Park and apartment houses for educators of Kim Il Sung University.

He must do what he ought to for the sake of people!

Herein lies the answer to why the respected Comrade General Secretary continues his journey of devotion to people despite sweltering heat, heavy rainstorm and bitter cold.


Rough Mountain Path He Trod Readily


It was one sizzling summer day in August 2018 when the respected Comrade General Secretary visited Yangdok County with a great aspiration to build an excellent hot spring resort for people.

His clothes were dripping wet with perspiration as he was treading a rugged mountain path in parching heat.

When he estimated the yield at a hot spring, the respected comrade General Secretary wore an unsatisfied expression as the yield fell short of his expectations.

It was when the respected Comrade General Secretary reached another point of gust over a rugged pass that it began to pour.

However, he briskly headed for the point of gush regardless of heavy rain.

He rejoiced much at finally having found a hot spring with a large amount of water gushing out as if he found out a treasure and cheerfully said that he at last confirmed the site for a comprehensive hot spring hostel though it was toilsome and that he was very pleased for thinking that it became possible to create another asset conducive to promoting people’s health and welfare.

Looking up to the benevolent image of the respected Comrade General Secretary, the officials were moved to tears.
