Immortal Exploits in Keeping Life-line of Revolution

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, June 5 (KCNA) -- The traditions of Paektu, life-line of the revolution, are being carried forward with credit in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
    The new era for inheriting the revolutionary traditions was opened up in the middle of the 1950s.
    Kim Jong Il made an expedition to the revolutionary battle sites in the area of Mt. Paektu, leading an expedition party formed with students of the then Pyongyang Middle School No.1 in June Juche 45 (1956) when the enemies within and without made desperate efforts to obliterate the revolutionary traditions.
    The historic expedition was a stern declaration that there were no other traditions but the revolutionary traditions of Paektu established by President Kim Il Sung.
    He published many famous works including "Let us cultivate the revolutionary spirit of Paektu among the rising generation" and "Let us brilliantly carry forward the revolutionary traditions of Juche" while leading the Korean revolution. He, in the works, gave a comprehensive exposition of the theoretical and practical problems arising in inheriting the revolutionary traditions.
    He, thus, provided such the fundamental guidelines for accomplishing the revolutionary cause as the idea that the attitude toward the revolutionary traditions is directly related with the stand and viewpoint on the leader and the idea and theory on embodying the revolutionary traditions in socialist construction and in all fabrics of social life.
    He saw to it that all the ideas, theories and policies of the Workers' Party of Korea were shaped to defend and glorify the revolutionary ideas and exploits of the leader and created a shining example in building the sacred temple of the revolution and the grand palace for the education in the revolutionary traditions.
    Under his leadership, the Monument to the Victorious Battle in Pochonbo, Samjiyon Grand Monument, Monument to the Victorious Battle of the Musan Area and Phophyong Monument to Revolutionary Activities were erected as immortal grand edifices and the revolutionary battle and historic sites have been converted into centers for the education in the revolutionary traditions.
    His on-the-spot guidance to the revolutionary battle sites in the Mt. Paektu area in March 2000 marked a turning-point in sprucing up the area as a sacred place of the revolution.
    Kim Jong Il gave instructions that the glorious revolutionary traditions of the WPK should be glorified for all ages, while giving on-the-spot guidance to the field of the preservation of revolutionary sites in Kanggye City recently.
