Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- Zhou Wei, daughter of Zhou Baozhong who was related to the anti－Japanese revolutionary struggle in China, visited the Kumsusan Memorial Palace where the bier of leader Kim Jong Il is placed to mourn his demise.

She said in bitter grief:

We were seized with indescribable sorrow upon hearing the sad news of demise of Kim Jong Il.

All of us, looking up to the sky of Pyongyang, bitterly cried "General, our father, you should not leave us behind. Rise up, please."

We have wished him good health as he has been shouldering upon himself the heavy responsibility of the revolution.

Now we cannot meet the great general any more. How lamentable it is.

He took utmost care of children of the comrades who fell in action while fighting alongside President Kim Il Sung.

We keenly felt he was our real father.

His sense of moral obligation went beyond the border of the country.

The history of his noble revolutionary obligation will shine forever.

Kim Jong Il, our kind-hearted father, is always with us.
