Rodong Sinmun Kim Jong Il Is Greatest Model to Be Followed by Revolutionaries
Pyongyang, December 12 (KCNA) -- General secretary Kim Jong Il's noble traits have become the greatest model for the revolutionaries, Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says in an editorial.

It goes on:

Kim Jong Il was possessed on the highest level of the ideological and spiritual traits as the leader, revolutionary and human being and performed immortal revolutionary feats to shine long in the history of the country.

He was an outstanding revolutionary who led the socialist cause of Juche to the victory with his firm faith and will under the uplifted red flag of the revolution all his life.

The red flag of the revolution represents the transparent idea of Kim Jong Il and his unshakable faith and will. He devoted his all to the accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of President Kim Il Sung under the uplifted banner of independence, Songun and socialism all his life.

He was a matchless patriot who worked heart and soul with the warmest love for the country and the people and cemented the foundation for the prosperity and happiness of the rising generations.

To him, it was justice and patriotism to put forward and love the country and the people while it was injustice and treacherous and counterrevolutionary act to neglect and despise the country and the nation.

He embraced the country and the people with his ardent enthusiasm and devotion and laid a solid foundation for guaranteeing the prosperity of posterity.

He was the great sage of revolution and peerlessly great man who took warm care of all people with his noblest personality and virtue.

He gave comrades and people trust and love deeper than an ocean out of his warm humanity, great simplicity and informal character.

Those who met him were carried away by his charisma and entrusted their destinies and future to him. This great personality served as a touchstone for the single-minded unity of the revolutionary ranks and an eternal model for the revolutionaries in the Songun era.
