An article titled "Mt Paektu and Kim Jong Il" said the august name and exploits of HE Kim Jong Il will shine long along with Mt Paektu, praising his personality as a great man who embodied the spirit of Mt Paektu.

Another article titled "Kim Jong Il, image of great man" praised the revolutionary career of Kim Jong Il who covered his journey of service to the people without a moment's rest in his ordinary jumper and single padded clothes.

Noting that he had lived his life as purely as snow, the article said:

Leader Kim Jong Il dedicated his all to the prosperity of the country and happiness of its people.

He had worked devotedly day and night to add glory to the DPRK as a socialist state centered on the popular masses, protect the destiny of the country and the nation from the heinous moves of the imperialist allied forces and dynamically advance the socialist construction.

He was born in Mt Paektu in snowy February and weathered storm and stress. The people of the DPRK paid their last respects to him in snowy December.

The philosophy on snow that runs through the noble life of the great saint is deeply moving the international community.
