Put on the stage were such colorful numbers as chorus "Party Represents Care of the General", mixed duet "Country under Party's Sunshine", female instrumental ensemble "Memories of the Road to Front", male quartet "Bonfire, Flare up" and female chorus "Yearning is Endless".

The performers sang highly of the undying feats of Kim Jong Il, who led the WPK along the road of victory with his outstanding ideological and theoretical activities and energetic leadership for nearly half a century since he started his work at the WPK.

The atmosphere of the performance reached its height when chorus "General Will Remain Forever as Sun" resounded throughout the auditorium.
