It said that it is none other than Kim Jong Il who ushered in the June 15 era of reunification to achieve independent reunification by the concerted efforts of the nation.

It went on:

In this era, the reunification movement of Korea has developed into a nationwide one.

The compatriots in the south deeply realized the outstanding leadership quality of Kim Jong Il and his personality as a great man and were convinced that he was a prominent man the Korean nation should always follow and hold in high esteem.

Publications of south Korea edited a lot of articles titled "Noble soul of Chairman of the National Defence Commission Kim Jong Il, the sun of the nation, would be always remembered by the people" and "General Kim Jong Il will be praised in human history forever", giving wide publicity to the great feats of the father of the nation.

People from all walks of life highly praise the noble career of Kim Jong Il, who devoted his whole life to the country and nation.

South Korean people are expressing irrepressible resentment at the conservative regime, which pushed the inter-Korean relations into catastrophe and created the extreme danger of a war.

The Korean nation will hold Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the sun of the nation for all ages and implement his last instructions without fail by weathering difficulties and trials under the leadership of Kim Jong Un and thus surely build a prosperous reunified power.
