Great Man’s Lifetime Motto

Politics 2024.7.6.


Go among the People!--this is a lifetime motto which President Kim Il Sung put forward and applied in the whole period of leading the revolution.

The President, with noble idea of believing in people as in Heaven, found himself among the people all his life and shared weal and woe with people while leading the revolution relying on them.

When he was separated from people, he missed people much as if he lost the precious. When he met people, he was the gladdest. Therefore, our people still remember the benevolent image of President Kim Il Sung who wore a broad smile on his face among the people.

The President wrote in his reminiscences "With the Century" as follows:

"I started my revolutionary activities by going among the people and today, too, I am continuing to make the revolution by mixing with the people. I am also reviewing my life by going among the people. If I had neglected contact with the people just once and forgotten the existence of the people even for a moment, I would not have been able to maintain the pure and genuine love for the people which I formed in my teens and become a true servant of the people."

The hours when he mixed with people were his working hours and the places where he met people were ones where he administered the state affairs. The most pleased and happiest time of the President was when he was among people, discussed state affairs and issues of improving their living standard with them.

The people who he loved and valued such were not a group of some specific persons but workers, farmers and intellectuals working at factories and farms for the prosperity of the country.

In the long human history, there had been no such a great man as the President who believed in people as in Heaven, shared weal and woe with them and dedicated his all to people.

The whistle of the people-bound train of President Kim Il Sung brought about the socialist paradise for people and ensured that the monumental creations for people were built on this land.

Indeed, President Kim Il Sung was the peerlessly great man and great leader of people who was always with people and performed miracles of creation and construction by arousing them.
