Having keenly experienced the grim realities of the country and the miserable plight of the fellow-countrymen groaning under the military jackboots of the Japanese imperialists, he put forward the great idea Aim High in his early years to indicate a new path to be followed by the Korean independence movement.

Aim High illuminated the correct fighting target and way for the Korean nation to achieve the independence of the country by its own efforts. It was a thorough-going revolutionary idea reflecting the people's wish for building a new society and a guideline for forcefully propelling the development of the anti-Japanese national liberation movement.

He took the idea of Aim High as his goal of life and struggle and thoroughly applied it in the whole course of his revolutionary activities.

He showed his outstanding organizational ability as a leader of the student movement while attending Sungsil Middle School. He unremittingly waged activities for enlightening masses and winning comrades and formed the Korean National Association in March Juche 6 (1917).

He, who conceived a new orientation for the development of the national liberation movement, advanced a policy of shifting the anti-Japanese national liberation movement from nationalist movement to proletarian revolution at the Kuandian Meeting in August 1919.

He established schools and night schools everywhere he went under the difficult conditions of underground struggle and devoted all his sincerity to educating the young people in the spirit of national independence and anti-Japanese patriotic idea.

It was precious exploits performed by Kim Hyong Jik for the country and people, the times and history that he brought up the members of revolutionary Mangyongdae family to be ardent patriots and great revolutionaries who devoted themselves to the country and people.

He sent President Kim Il Sung, his 11-year-old son on one thousand-ri journey alone. This fact still moves all the people as a revolutionary legend of the revolutionary Mangyongdae family.

His unswerving will and mettle to achieve the country's independence without fail by fighting down through generations is vivid in every verse of the poem "The Green Pine on Nam Hill" written by him.

An eternal song of faith, the poem is powerfully inspiring the army and people of Korea to the heroic struggle and feats.

Indeed, the idea of Aim High of Kim Hyong Jik who walked the untrodden path of history is being carried forward generation after generation, century after century.
