The life of the President was the life of a great revolutionary and a great man who believed in the people as in heaven and devoted his all for them.

It was his motto of life and struggle that a revolutionary emerges victorious all the time when he always believes in the people and depends on them, but he suffers defeat when he is forsaken by the people. From the first days when he embarked on the road of revolution with this motto, he covered a long journey of bloody battles in the anti-Japanese war for the sake of the people.

Stories of his loving care with which he threw bundles of "Minsaengdan" documents into fire and spent 20 won, money of profound meaning, for the ill-clad members of the Children's Corps in Maanshan convey the lofty popular personality and virtue of the President.

From the historic day when he went to Kangson after the national liberation to meet workers there bypassing his old home within a calling distance to the last days of his life, he visited more than 26,000 units, recording the history of love for the people.

He went out to various areas from December Juche 34 (1945) to February next year to acquaint himself in detail with the conditions of the countryside and proclaimed the Agrarian Reform Law most correctly reflecting the demands and will of the peasants and made their centuries-old desire realized.

In the period of building a new country when each gram of iron counted, he found himself in the then Songjin Steel Works and showed deep concern for the life and health of the workers. And he gave instructions to blow up the cursed oven of first-stage iron processing where the Japanese imperialists had brutally overdrove Korean workers and killed them.

When he visited there again later he felt a gnawing ache in his heart, seeing a furnaceman working in wooden shoes. He lost no time in taking a benevolent measure to build shoe-making factories in different parts of the country so that leather shoes could be supplied to the people.

He unhesitatingly exposed himself to rainstorms and snowstorms as well as muddy roads and readily went into pits thousands of feet underground for the people. He visited them ceaselessly even in the days of the hard-fought war.

The distance of his field guidance to factories, agricultural and fishing farms and all other places of the country for the sake of people in his lifetime is more than 1,445,000 ri (578,000 km).

His great life dedicated to the people will be remembered long as a life of a peerlessly great man without precedent in the world history of famous persons.
