The November issue of the Chinese Hong Kong magazine International Link carried some articles illustrated with a portrait of smiling Kim Jong Il and photos of Kim Jong Il and supreme leader Kim Jong Un.

The magazine, in an article titled "White Snow and Kim Jong Il", explained the philosophy of snow that runs through the life of Kim Jong Il, saying that he was born in Mt. Paektu in snowy February and left the Korean people in snowy December.

It said that he devoted all his life to the people's happiness and showed warm care for all people.

In another article the magazine told that the exploits Kim Jong Il performed to reliably defend socialism and advance it triumphantly are being creditably carried forward by supreme leader Kim Jong Un.

The Dec. 5th issue of the Iranian newspaper The Iran News, in an article titled "Eternal leader of the Korean people" illustrated with an image of smiling Kim Jong Il, stressed that he would be always praised as the eternal leader of the Korean people.
