Kim Jong Il traversed the whole course of his revolutionary leadership with his indomitable faith and will, the article notes, and goes on:

The declaration of history Kim Jong Il made to defend President Kim Il Sung in the mid-1950s reflects the core of his revolutionary faith as he glorified his whole life as a soldier of the President.

He visited at least 14,290 units across the country, making the forced march extending 669,844 km equivalent to going round the earth nearly 17 times in the whole period of his revolutionary life.

The high-intensity forced march made by him was featured by his love and trust in the army and people and his devoted service.

He indicated the truth that socialism is sure to win as it is desired and required by the people, and led Korean-style socialism to victory.

Attaching importance to ideology, arms and science and technology serves as the line of building a thriving nation and a weapon for the victory of socialism on which he took hold all his life.

The great Paektusan nation glorified by him all his life is a thriving nation based on everlasting faith.

He will always be with the great prospering Paektusan nation as the great spirit, pluck and indomitable revolutionary faith of the great brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu serve as the inexhaustible mental power of the army and people of the DPRK.
