Performers enthusiastically sang of the revolutionary life and exploits of Kim Jong Il who made ceaseless high-intensity forced march only for the people's happiness and the prosperity of the generations to come despite strong wind, snow and rain.

Whenever the tender-hearted image of Kim Jong Il was projected on the background of the stage amid the resounding of the hymn praising the great man, the audience clapped their hands. Tears were seen rolling out from their eyes.

The narration "Oh, snow in December" made the audience look back upon the unforgettable days of December when the people deeply grieved over Kim Jong Il's demise, lining both sides of tens of km route where they lamented, "Dear leader, don't go leaving behind this land and people you loved so much."
