   Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- The Korean people are looking back upon the life of President Kim Il Sung who devoted himself for the people's happiness, on the occasion of the his demise anniversary.
    He showed great human love that no one had done.
    He made the Korean revolution with comradely obligation and warm affection for the people. There are so many stories about the lofty outlook on the people the President had showed during the anti-Japanese armed struggle, saying that the commander was also a son of the people.
    He exerted indefatigable efforts to provide a happy life to the people while leading the revolution and construction after the liberation of the country.
    He passed the fork in Mangyongdae to meet workers of the Kangson Steel Works right after the liberation prior to the visit to his native home that he had remembered for tens of years since his departure. In the flames of the Korean war, he helped peasants sow seeds and manure fields in Wonhwa-ri. The fork, the fields and all the edifices including the Pyongyang Grand Theatre and Sungri and Changgwang Streets still tell his deep affection for the people.
    The President's devotion for the happiness of people does not know its depth.
    In October Juche 74 (1985), he saw it to that a decree of the Central People's Committee of the DPRK was issued to enforce the social security system for the co-op farmers and instructed senior officials of the then Administration Council to carry on revolutionary policies on a higher stage according to the developing reality so as to provide more affluent and cultured life to the people.
    He also saw it to that the 26th Session of the 8th Central People's Committee of the DPRK held in May 1989 took epochal measures in connection with the issues related to improving the people's living standard including issues arising in the tideland construction, seashore cultivation and fish-breeding.
    The Korean people keep in their minds that he found himself in fields of co-op farms in his 80s in June 1994 and presided over a conference of senior officials in the field of economy to boost the national economy just before his great hearts stopped beating in July.
