On the occasion, the Workers' Party of Korea Publishing House issued the book "Brief Biography of the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung".

The house also released Vol. 100 of "Among the People", a collection of reminiscences. This book deals with the devoted efforts the President made for the country's development and the people's wellbeing, as well as his generosity and lofty virtues.

New posters for the Day of the Sun have also come out, giving a glimpse of the undying feats he performed for the country and people, the times and history in the course of leading the revolution and construction to victory for many years.

A synchronized swimming demonstration performance "Eternal Sun of Juche" took place at the Changgwang Health Complex and an ice figure skating demonstration performance at the Ice Rink in Pyongyang.

Letters "Our eternal leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, Dedicated to the centenary of the birth of the leader, April 15, Juche 101 (2012)" were carved in a rock near the Pakyon Falls in Kaesong City.

Preparations for the 14th Kimilsungia Festival and the 28th April Spring Friendship Art Festival have been under way. The festivals will be most admirable ever in their history in scale, form and content.

300 families removed to new dwelling houses in Wonhwa Co-op Farm in Phyongwon County, South Phyongan Province, ahead of the Day of the Sun. The farm had registered President Kim Il Sung and general secretary Kim Jong Il as its honorary farmers.

Meanwhile, commendations were conferred on officials and working people who have made a good job and state academic degrees and titles were awarded to intellectuals.

The Huichon Power Station, associated with Kim Jong Il's steadfast will, energetic guidance and patriotism, is as good as one of gifts dedicated to the anniversary.

Streets of Pyongyang are now undergoing facelifting in the run-up to the holiday.
