On that day of August Kim Jong Il looked round the revolutionary relics in the place which President Kim Il Sung visited despite a hail of bullets and shells in April Juche 40 (1951) when the Fatherland Liberation War raged and personally worked out an operational plan for the defence of the east coast and encouraged commanding officers and model combatants of the combined unit of the Korean People's Army to perform feats.

He underscored the need to preserve the precious revolutionary relics and mementoes and historic sites in their original state and manage them with good care, indicating the tasks and ways for conducting an effective education through them.

The number of the servicepersons, people from all walks of life and school youth and children who visited the revolutionary site has been on the steady increase over the past eight years since his field guidance, totaling more than 460,000.
