Kim Jong Il devoted all his life to the happiness of the people as their true son, the article said, and went on:

He always led a frugal life and shared the destiny with the people.

He regarded it as an iron rule to believe in the people as in Heaven, the motto of President Kim Il Sung.

He made it a principle to bring a flower into bloom even on a rock if the people want to do so.

The Korean people are fully enjoying a happy life in the paradise provided by Kim Jong Il with his tireless efforts and patriotic devotion.

I could feel the love for the people shown by him while visiting the DPRK several times.

A lot of factories, enterprises and leisure complexes have been built in every part of the country to make contributions to improving the standard of people's living.

All these were the fruition of his warm loving care for the people and wise leadership.

His boundless devotion was based on the ardent love for the people and absolute trust in them and the iron faith in the validity and victory of the socialist cause.

Noting that the Korean people are the best in the world, he absolutely trusted in the people. He was convinced of the bright future of the country, saying that let's see who will laugh last.

Indeed, he was a true son of the people who believed in them as in Heaven and devoted himself to them.
