During his field guidance over the ri, the President learned that there was a spring in its vicinity and turned his steps toward it.

The officials of the rural community told him the spring was in muddy land. But the President did not hesitate to go to it, saying that he had covered rugged paths during the anti-Japanese armed struggle.

Arriving at the spot, he advised the officials to use the spring water for fish breeding and fully supply fish to the people of the ri.

That day was his birthday.
