What type of person is Chairman Kim Jong Un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea?
There could be several answers to this question, but the most important of all is that he is the leader who loves the people most.
His thoughts and practice are all oriented to the devoted service for the people.
It is his outlook on life that he would be happy even though his body may be scattered like grains of sand on the road for the good of the people and his creed that anything for the people must be perfect and the best.
There have been several meetings of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea this year; agenda of each meeting was different but the main subject was consistently related to the safety and wellbeing of the people.
In August this year many dwelling houses and paddy fields were inundated in the area of Taechong-ri, Unpha County, North Hwanghae Province.
On receiving the report, he drove his car to the stricken area.
On the site Kim Jong Un was relieved to hear that there was no casualty because all the residents had been evacuated to safe areas in advance. Then he, walking on muddy road, looked round the site and gave tasks and ways regarding the rehabilitation. His field guidance was very impressive.
He took immediate measures of supplying cement and other materials needed for the rehabilitation and providing the victims with food grain, beddings, daily necessities, medicines and other things. When officials proposed rebuilding only 400 houses out of 800 houses in the inundated area and repairing the remaining 400 houses, he said that all the 800 houses should be pulled down and rebuilt.
He advised them to ask the inhabitants which type of house they preferred, house for one family or shared by two families, and reflect their opinions in the design of the houses.
Several days later the Workers’ Party of Korea convened the 16th Meeting of the Political Bureau of its Seventh Central Committee.
While informing the participants in the meeting of the collected data of the damage, Kim Jong Un said the flood victims must be suffering greatly as they were living in temporary dwellings after losing their houses and other properties and that at such a time, it was none other than our Party that should take full responsibility for them and go closer to them to share their hardship with them and relieve them of it.
Through this fact alone the international community realized once again that Kim Jong Un is indeed the dear father of the people who regards them as everything to him.
