Greatness of President Reflected in "Vehicle to People"

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

   Pyongyang, April 15 (KCNA) -- The Korean people with deep reverence for the peerlessly great man are looking back upon President Kim Il Sung's immortal services for the country and people on the occasion of the Day of the Sun.
    The President was the benevolent father of the people. He had found himself among the people for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people throughout his life.
    The word "vehicle to the people" is implied with the great trait of the President who had taken the idea of believing in the people as the heaven as his lifetime motto and built the people-centered socialist country in this land, always finding himself among the people and sharing weal and woe with them.
    Already in the first days of his revolutionary activities, he found the truth that the popular masses are the master of the revolution and the revolutionary struggle will be crowned with victory when they are educated and mobilized.
    He created the history of love for the people, visiting more than 26,000 units from the day of history in October1945, after the liberation of the country when he called on the workers in Kangson without visiting his native home in a calling distance that he had remembered always for 20 years, to the early July of 1994.
    He visited various local areas from December 1945 to Next February to acquaint himself with the actual conditions of the rural community for the solution of their cherished aspiration. And then he saw to it that the Law on Agrarian Reform in which the requirements and opinions of the peasants were reflected in a most correct way was promulgated.
    He went to the Songjin Steel Works in the days of building a new country when a piece of steel was valued and directed deep attention to the health and life of the workers there. He instructed officials that the oven of first-stage iron-processing which was built by the Japanese imperialists to bleed workers white should be blown up.
    Later he visited the works again and felt his heart rent to see workers wearing wooden shoes. And he took a benevolent measure to build footwear factories in different parts of the country so that all the people could wear leather shoes.
    He made his way to a tideland ahead of others saying it was for the people, walked a path in a bog in a northern area saying that he should go to all places where people lived and found himself on a farm land at the age of 80 in June 1994, the closing days of his life.
    Indeed, the life he spent in the "vehicle to the people" was full of love for the people.
