A smile bright on this land
Opening the pages of memory listening to the song, people visualize his sunny smile. He smiled so brightly, seeing the realization of the noble ideal to make the Korean people happiest in the world. When he met soldiers, he felt their shoes and showed parental loving care; when he called at an ordinary home, he opened the lid of the cooking pot without ceremony to see what they were eating; talking with farmers, he taught them farming methods. The bright smile of the President represented his sacred life.
The Anhak Manufactured Goods Shop visited by President Kim Il Sung is at the coal-mine village in Anhak-dong, Taesong District, Pyongyang. It was called the Samsin Shop after the Korean war. The shop also has an unforgettable story about the President.
Shopwoman Wi Kum Ran says:
"When President Kim Il Sung visited the then Samsin Shop, everything was imperfect. But he smiled brightly as a state-run shop for colliers was established in the coal-mine village. Saying various goods should be sold without suspension, he bought some goods to evaluate their quality."
Kim Pong Jin, Chief Engineer of the Management Board of the Ryongrim Cooperative Farm in Mundok County, South Phyongan Province, says:
"President Kim Il Sung visited Ryongrim-ri in 1973 and looked at the farm fields smelling of ripe grains time and again for a long time. He beamed all over his face, saying a rain-dependent farm of the past had been changed into a granary. Today, too, our farmers still remember the bright smile he was wearing that day, standing in the farm fields rippling with golden ears.
That day, he proposed turning the granary Ryongrim-ri into an enviable socialist ideal village and discussed with farmers on how to change it till late at night."
Such stories are not limited only to the lands of Anhak and Ryongrim. The workers in Songrim City, North Hwanghae Province, also have a touching story.
President Kim Il Sung, concerned about iron production, visited the then Hwanghae Iron Works and met workers in September Juche 48 or 1959. Opening his arms, he said that in the East Sea large fishes told us to catch them before they die of old age, but it was difficult to realize their desire because many ships could not be built due to the lack of iron.
It was a meaningful humor, but the workers read in it his heartwarming devotion and painstaking efforts and noble ideal for the people´s happiness. They resolved to increase iron production, true to his intention.
President Kim Il Sung was always confident and optimistic on the road of revolution only for the people´s happiness. He started the Korean revolution with the founding of the "Down-with-Imperialism Union" in his teens and laughed together with his comrades, picturing to himself a future ideal society where the people would enjoy a happy life as masters.
In unforgettable March Juche 30 or 1941 when he greeted spring in an alien land during the anti-Japanese struggle as well, he, with a bright smile on his face, had a picture taken with the anti-Japanese heroine Kim Jong Suk, looking forward to the future.
When the US imperialists triggered off a war of aggression, he said the Yankees misunderstood Koreans, optimizing about victory in the war with a hearty laugh. In the difficult postwar days, he called for showing the mettle of the Korean people, and gave conviction of victory and courage to them with a bright smile.
He crossed rugged mountains with a smile during the anti-Japanese struggle and laughed off the rain of shells during the war. His life was the course of devotion for an ideal society of humanity accompanied by optimism about victory.
In the ideal society President Kim Il Sung anticipated with a smile, there was everything including the supreme target of the Korean revolution, shortcut to hit it and a utopia desired by humankind.
Today, too, he wishes the people a happy future with his bright smile. The Korean people are enjoying a worthwhile independent life in the socialist society prospering along with his bright smile. Thanks to his eternal sunny smile, the past, present and future of Korea are bright, rosy and shining with glory.
The great Kim Jong Il devoted his whole life to the building of an ideal society foreseen by President Kim Il Sung with a bright smile, and now, respected Kim Jong Un devotes himself, true to the noble intention of the great leaders.
Today, too, the President´s smile as bright as the sun is the eternal driving force of victory and prosperity for the generations to come.
Under the leadership of another great man of Mt. Paektu, Korea will demonstrate its dignity as a powerful socialist country of Juche where the ideal of President Kim Il Sung is realized.
