   Pyongyang, May 5 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates a signed article to the 16th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's famous work "Our Socialism Centred on the Masses Shall Not Perish".
    The article says:
    The past 10 odd years represented a period in which Korean-style socialism has fully demonstrated its validity, truth and invincibility as most advantageous man-centred socialism.
    The solidity and invincibility of Korean-style socialism can be found in that it was built, guided by the great Juche idea, the Songun idea and advances on that basis. They can also be found in that it enjoys absolute support and trust from the people and advances under the uplifted banner of the single-minded unity.
    The Juche idea serves as an ideological foundation of Korean-style socialism and the Songun idea of Juche as great guidelines for achieving the victory of the cause of socialism in the new century. People's support and trust provides a fundamental source of the system's solidity and invincibility, and the single-minded unity a mainstay of the Korean revolution and a sure guarantee for augmenting the might of our own socialism.
    The great idea brings about a great reality. The present reality clearly proves that Korean-style socialism advancing on the basis of the most solid ideological foundation and with the might of ideology will always emerge victorious.
    President Kim Il Sung set it as the supreme principle to govern the party building and activities to turn the WPK into a popular party serving the people and defending their interests long ago. The immortal exploits performed by him served as a fundamental source which made it possible for Korean-style socialism to strike its roots deep among the masses.
    Kim Jong Il, regarding the President's noble idea of "Believing in people as in Heaven" as his maxim, has always oriented all his considerations and activities to showing loving care for the people.
    The celebrations of the 75th birthday of the Korean People's Army that startled the world and the loud cheers of the army and people there represented their absolute trust in Kim Jong Il who has increased the national power of the country and immensely glorified man-centred Korean-style socialism.
    The single-minded unity which has served as a banner of all victories in the annals of the Korean revolution has grown as solid as a rock and its might has been drastically augmented through the struggle to defend and glorify socialism over the past more than decade.
