An article titled "Leader Kim Jong Il's outlook on people" said:

Since the start of his work at the Central Committee of the WPK, he wisely led the party officials to be responsible for the destiny of the people and take care of them like a mother dedicating herself to her children.

In those days, the people keenly realized how noble his viewpoint and attitude toward them was.

He always shared joy and sorrow with people, considering them as his teachers and the most powerful beings and deeming it as his mission to build a paradise where their independence comes true.

The Korean people miss him very much and entrust all their destinies and future to the WPK, calling it mother.

Another article titled "Flag of WPK" noted that the Korean people are dynamically advancing to build a thriving nation as early as possible, holding aloft the flag of the WPK as an invincible banner
