Kim Jong Il Was Great Father: Chinese
Pyongyang, December 16 (KCNA) --Zhou Wei, daughter of Zhou Baozhong, Chinese related to the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, is visiting the DPRK to participate in the memorial service marking the first anniversary of demise of leader Kim Jong Il.

She said her yearning for him has grown stronger day by day and she could not repress her anxiety to come to the DPRK whenever she looked up to the benevolent image of Kim Jong Il.

She went on:

I can never forget the image of Kim Jong Il who embraced us with a broad smile on his face.

Kim Jong Il devoted all his life to the people, regarding it as his life-long maxim to believe in them as in Heaven. He also showed warm loving care for those related to the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle.

He was not only the benevolent father of our family but a close friend of the Chinese people who performed great feats for the development of the Sino-DPRK friendly relations.

He will always be with us as the great father.

We feel strong and reassured as there is the dear respected Kim Jong Un who is identical to Kim Jong Il.

The history of the noble internationalist obligation of Kim Jong Il will go on thanks to Kim Jong Un.
