Kim Jong Un Clarifies Essence of Kim Jong Il′s Patriotism

Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) -- The dear respected Kim Jong Un clarified the essence of Kim Jong Il's patriotism in his work "Let Us Effect Kim Jong Il's Patriotism and Step Up the Building of a Prosperous Country".

Kim Jong Un said in his work that patriotism which leader Kim Jong Il embodied in practice is the noblest patriotism that can be called after him only in the light of its essence and tremendous vitality.

Kim Jong Il's patriotism is the culmination of socialist patriotism, Kim Jong Un said, adding: Kim Jong Il's patriotism is the warmest love for our socialist motherland and people and the most energetic and self-sacrificing devotion to the prosperity of the country and people's happiness. It is genuine patriotism as he loved every tree and every blade of grass of the country.

It is based on a noble outlook on the motherland. In his early years Kim Jong Il wrote masterpiece "Embrace of Country" in which he described the embrace of country as warm as the sun as the embrace of President Kim Il Sung. He clarified a profound idea that the country means the leader, and the embrace of the country is precisely that of the leader for the Korean people.

Motherland is not a mere place where one was born and brought up but a place where the people lead a genuine life and their eternal happiness is guaranteed. This is possible when there is a leader. That is why devotion to the motherland means loyalty to the leader and loyalty to the leader is the highest revelation of patriotism.

Kim Jong Il's patriotism is based on a noble outlook on the people. Kim Jong Il said the almighty being in the world is not the God but the masses. It is the patriotic creed of Kim Jong Il that the masses build a country. Devote everything to realizing what the people desire -- this was his noble will and determination for love for the people.

Kim Jong Il's patriotism is most vividly reflected in his noble outlook on the younger generation. Kim Jong Il's outlook on the younger generation can be clearly found in the slogan "Let Us Live Not Merely for Today But for Tomorrow!" It is his noble will and earnest request that everything should be completed in a perfect way so that the younger generation can benefit from it.

Kim Jong Il's patriotism is a noble spiritual heritage he handed over to the Korean people and the model of practice.

Kim Jong Un Refers to Noble Patriotic Life of Kim Jong Il

Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) -- The dear respected Kim Jong Un in his work "Let Us Effect Kim Jong Il's Patriotism and Step Up the Building of a Prosperous Country" said leader Kim Jong Il warmly loved the country and the people more than anything else and devoted all his life to the prosperity of the country and happiness of the people.

Deeply cherished in Kim Jong Il's mind were the country and people whom he always loved anywhere he went, Kim Jong Un said, and continued: Kim Jong Il used to call thick forests and standardized vast fields green mountains and green fields.

During his visits to foreign countries, he used to call the country and the nation my country and my nation, longing for them. Viewing neat villages shrouded in apricot trees and company barracks in persimmon trees, he called them an apricot tree village and a persimmon tree company.

Since the very day he embarked on the road of the revolution, resolved to be responsible for the Korean revolution, Kim Jong Il had defended and glorified the socialist country all his life. He kept to the road of patriotic dedication to the country and the people till the last moments of his life.

The struggle to defend the socialist country was the most acute confrontation with imperialist allied forces and the grimmest struggle in history. Kim Jong Il made a long journey of the arduous Songun leadership in the do-or-die spirit to tide over the grim difficulties faced by the country and defended it.

It was thanks to the wise guidance of Kim Jong Il that our country which had been deprived of its state sovereignty due to weak military muscle a century ago is now demonstrating its might as a world-level military power equipped with tremendous military capabilities.

It was also thanks to the long journey of patriotic devotion made by Kim Jong Il covering rugged path all his life that the country has been face-lifted and a solid cornerstone for the prosperity of the country laid.

The land of the country has been rezoned as befitting the socialist country and gravity-fed waterways were built in several regions, turning rural villages into a socialist land of bliss. Lots of modern heavy industrial and light industrial factories have been built and the factories that had existed have been renovated as required by the new century and grand edifices for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of posterity have been successfully built across the country.

The drive for putting industry on a CNC basis that led to Korean-style industrial revolution in the new century proves the high level of Kim Jong Il's patriotism. When the country was undergoing difficulties, Kim Jong Il had valuable funds allocated for putting the country's industry on a CNC basis for the future of the prosperous country even though he worried about the people suffering from the shortage of food.

Nothing is more patriotic than to enlist strength for the prosperity and development of the country. Only when the country is strong, can it defend itself and guarantee the happiness of all the generations to come. Kim Jong Il used to shed tears whenever he heard song "Push Back the Frontiers of Latest Science and Technology" as the song reminded him of the arduous path he had covered and the pains he had taken to put industry on a CNC basis. His tears reflected his genuine patriotism.

His warm love for the socialist motherland and people and self-sacrificing devotion to the prosperity of the country and people's happiness are derived from his absolute trust in his own people and steadfast confidence in justice of the socialist system and victory of socialism.

His warm love and devotion are also prompted by his noble awareness and sense of mission that he is responsible for the destiny of the country and people whom President Kim Il Sung entrusted to him.

Kim Jong Un Sets Forth Tasks for Effecting Kim Jong Il′s Patriotism

Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) -- The dear respected Kim Jong Un in his work "Let Us Effect Kim Jong Il's Patriotism and Step Up the Building of a Prosperous Country" called on all the officials, party members and other working people to learn from leader Kim Jong Il's noble patriotism and effect it just as it is.

Kim Jong Un in the work underlined the need to intensify education to instill Kim Jong Il's patriotism deep into the minds of the people. He underscored the need to educate the party members and other working people in Kim Jong Il's patriotism in a principled, deep and broad way so that they can become genuine patriots who devote themselves to the future.

Education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism should be conducted in a substantial way in combination with practice, he said, and continued: Genuine patriots are those who unswervingly follow the path of true patriotism despite difficulties and hardships and those who sincerely and timely carry out revolutionary tasks entrusted to them by the country and the people. Education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism should be carried out to suit the specific conditions.

Patriotism is not an abstract notion. It originates from the yard of one's own home. All the party members and other working people should be educated to become genuine patriots who love their families, spruce up their own hometowns and manage well their work places and devote their sweats and energies to glorifying the country.

Effecting Kim Jong Il's patriotism means thoroughly carrying out his idea and desire for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of posterity, and conducting all the work for the prosperity of the country the way he did.

We should faithfully carry forward and complete all the work Kim Jong Il had planned and tried to realize in his lifetime in order to materialize his idea and wishes in this land.

The greatest patriotism lies in defending the country. All the people should attach importance to the military affairs, sincerely learn them and devote their patriotism to the sacred war for defending the country if the enemy provokes.

We should become genuine patriots in the Songun era and build a thriving socialist country to be proud of just as the generation right after the country's liberation built new democratic Korea in hearty response to the call of President Kim Il Sung to display patriotism and just as the heroes in the Chollima era built a land of bliss for the people on the ruins after war.

The Korean nation has long suffered from unspeakable misfortune and pains after foreign forces divided it into the north and the south. To reunify the country is the supreme task of the nation that brooks no further delay. National reunification precisely means patriotism and national division treachery. Whoever truly loves the country and the nation should valiantly turn out in the just struggle to reunify the country true to Kim Jong Il's noble patriotism whether they are in the north, the south and abroad.

Kim Jong Un set forth tasks for party organizations, working people's organizations, all national institutions and social bodies to fulfill their responsibilities and roles in the work for learning from and effecting Kim Jong Il's patriotism. He went on: Officials should not just sit down and worry over the country but become genuine patriots who uphold the country with total dedication. "We serve the country and the people!"-- the slogan put up by the party is a patriotic one which all the officials should hold fast to. Officials serving the people should work hard and hard with patriotism so as to make the country prosperous and people lead an affluent life.

The country will emerge as a thriving socialist nation when the hot wind of learning from Kim Jong Il's patriotism prevails in the country and all the people fully embody it into practice, Kim Jong Un stressed.
