Unforgettable Stories about His Devotion to People


Newly Fixed Bookshelf


The following happened one September day in 2013.

That day, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un inspected the construction site of apartment houses for educators of Kim Il Sung University nearing its completion.

When he dropped in at a flat, he, making a round of different rooms including living rooms and a kitchen, troubled himself to provide the educators with better living conditions.

In a study, he sat on a chair before the desk and had a look at the front wall.

Then he advised that it would be good to fix the bookshelf to the front wall lest the teachers and researchers feel any inconvenience while researching and preparing lectures.

The accompanying officials were impressed with the General Secretary who meticulously looked after the living conditions of educators saying that all the necessary things should be equipped for the owners of the flats to make them feel envious of nothing.

Presently, he reiterated that it would be better to put on the bookshelf the books the teachers and researchers frequently read.

After that, every flat was equipped with bookshelves thanks to his loving care for the researchers and teachers who devoted their all to educating sci-tech talents of the country.


What He Gave Importance to in Every Work


It was a late night of August in 2018 when the respected General Secretary guided the trial run of a new-type trolley bus.

When the trolley bus began to run the silent streets of the capital, he, looking round the interior of it, commented on the arrangement of chairs.

He, advising that as the trolley bus had to run along the fixed course in the capital, it would be better to arrange the chairs laterally, and if so, more chairs could be arranged and also passengers would be convenient to use it. Then he stressed that the trolley bus should be made in conformity with the passengers’ convenience.

The officials were shocked because they had only considered making well the chairs but failed to think about people’s convenience in arranging them.

After a while, he let the driver try a mike to estimate the quality of sound. Then he expressed his satisfaction at the normalcy of all technical aspects.

That day, the officials kept deep in mind his noble will that whatever they do, they must think of the people’s convenience first.
