The half century-long history of Kim Jong Il's revolutionary activities is shining as glorious annals of the people's leader who has devoted his all to the prosperity of the country and the people's happiness, regarding it as his motto to believe in the people as in Heaven, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:

His revolutionary history is a sacred history of the people's father which would be unthinkable without the words "people" and an immortal history of the creator of the people's happiness who has done all he can do for them.

It is the greatest feat for the people that he has firmly defended and glorified Korean-style socialism centered on the popular masses under the banner of Juche.

The genuine people's country where the people become the masters of everything and everything of society serves them, the country of single-minded unity in which all the people form a large family, holding the great leader in high esteem as their father and the promising society the members of which are making a leap forward toward the hopeful morrow full of high ambition and conviction--this is Korean-style socialism in which the people's long-cherished desire has come true.

His extraordinary strategy and plan provide a sure guarantee for the victory in the on-going grand drive for building a thriving nation to translate the people's ideals into reality.

It is the important mission and duty our generation has assumed for posterity and history to steadily glorify this shining heyday of Songun Korea, brought by him, with signal victory and successes of great surge and thereby translate into a brilliant reality President Kim Il Sung's desire for building a thriving nation.

The DPRK's cause of building a thriving nation is sure to emerge victorious as there are the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il guiding its army and people to a bright future in the new century, the single-minded unity of all the servicepersons and people rallied close around him and the powerful political and military strength and the solid foundations for self-supporting economy.

Minju Joson says that a very rosy future is in store for Songun Korea holding Kim Jong Il at the top of the revolution. And it calls upon all the Korean people to dynamically advance toward a thriving socialist nation with firm confidence in victory, rallied closer around him.
