Story Conveyed by Gem-like Terrace on Bank of River Pothong


What Counts Is Positive Appreciation by People


Once, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un inspected the Pothong Riverside Terraced Residential District under construction.

He wore a bright smile on his face while looking round the construction site which underwent a big change in just a few months since groundbreaking.

When he dropped in at a flat of Apartment Block No. 7, he expressed satisfaction at the fact that the interior of the flats was arranged well for the convenience of the residents’ family life.

The accompanying officials also marveled at the splendid interior of the flat.

When he went out to the balcony attached to the study, he enjoyed the bird’s-eye view of the construction site for a while.

Presently, he told the officials that what counts is the positive appreciation by the residents.

It was evident that such wonderful flats to be envied by the world people would have no flaws but the respected General Secretary underlined the need to regard the people’s evaluation as the absolute criterion.

Indescribable indeed was his ardent love for the people.

The officials saw the panorama of the construction site.

They could cherish, along with the beautiful view of the Pothong Riverside Terraced Residential District, the noble intention of the respected General Secretary that everything, however wonderful they might be, can be valuable in the true sense of the word only when they are favored by the people.


Full-fledged Owners Who Deserve Happy and Highly Civilized Life


In April several years ago, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un, who attended the inaugural ceremony of the Pothong Riverside Terraced Residential District and cut the inaugural tape, looked round dwelling houses together with the masters of the new cradles.

When he was looking round with pleasure the splendidly-built new houses and congratulating their owners, the respected General Secretary received a report from an official on the impression of people that our Party, our system and our world are the best after witnessing the reality that the newly-built houses were allocated to ordinary labor innovators.

After listening to his report, the respected General Secretary said to the accompanying officials that there was no flat pulled down in the area and that if any, it was just the residence of the President, adding that he would have been satisfied to see the modern dwellings built for the persons of merit and labor innovators in the place where his residence had once located.

He said that such phrase as a world for the people is not merely a slogan to our Party, in which a climate of unconditionally serving the people has been established, and our people, who firmly uphold their sovereignty with their own efforts, are the full-fledged owners who deserve a happy and highly civilized life.

It was indeed meaningful words which could be given only by the respected General Secretary who regards people as heaven and loves them the most.

Looking up to his benevolent image, the officials said to themselves that our people holding the respected General Secretary in high esteem are the happiest.
