To Affirm Security of Amusement Facilities

Politics 2024.12.7.


Our people yearn for Chairman Kim Jong Il in December when he passed away.

It is a story about his love for the people.

One October day in 1977 Chairman Kim Jong Il visited the newly built Taesongsan Amusement Park.

After looking at the park for a good while, he said with satisfaction that the park had been built so excellently that the people of Pyongyang, including children, would love it.

Then he looked round every amusement facility.

Presently, dusk began to settle, cold autumn wind blew at the ancient fort on Mt. Taesong, and officials asked him several times to take leave.

Kim Jong Il said:

"How can we open the amusement facilities to our children without any hesitation when we have not seen them even once?

"We may not come here often, so let’s look round all of them though we may be late."

Kim Jong Il walked to the Mad Mouse and was getting on it, when officials hurriedly approached him and said he must not try as it was already dark.

He said:

"Our people will enjoy themselves on this facility, so I have to try it. So don’t worry. And it will not be dreadful when one rides it in the dark."

Like this Chairman Kim Jong Il personally affirmed security of the Mad Mouse by venturing the facility.

The accompanying officials were deeply moved looking up to the Chairman.

Indeed, Chairman Kim Jong Il was the benevolent father of our people.
