I cannot repress my emotion as the tender-hearted image of General Kim Jong Il comes across my mind when seeing immortal Kimjongilias in full bloom by the warm sincerity and ardent wishes of the people, he said.

I can never forget the day when I had the honor of being received by the General while visiting the motherland as a member of the delegation of chairmen of prefectural headquarters of Chongryon in Juche 91 (2002), he noted, and went on:

The General gave a grand reception and spent long time with us, giving precious teachings.

Seeing the General taking care of the sons and daughters in an alien land as their real parents, who think and love dearer their children far away than those nearby, would do, I took a firm pledge to keep to the path of patriotism all my life.

His love and trust are the lifeline which made me lead a worthy life as an official of Chongryon for nearly 50 years despite tempest.

Generalissimo Kim Jong Il is the great teacher and tender-hearted father of the Chongryon officials and Koreans in Japan.

The movement of Koreans in Japan is now put on a new higher stage as it is led by Marshal Kim Jong Un, the peerlessly great man of Mt. Paektu.

We will usher in a new heyday of Chongryon in the glorious Kim Jong Un's era true to his leadership and thus greet the 60th anniversary of the formation of Chongryon with signal successes.
