Kim Jong Il's life is the epitome of the arduous Korean revolution and glorious course shining only with victory, the article says, and goes on:

Kim Jong Il had waged ceaseless struggle till the last moments of his life since he embarked on the road of the revolution with a firm determination that he would become the master of the Korean revolution.

He always stood in the van of the Korean revolution and his strategy brought about only victory.

"Live Not Merely for Today But for Tomorrow", this was his noble view of life.

The history of his revolutionary leadership is recorded as course in which he further enriched the treasure house of the Juche idea with his rare wisdom and energetic ideological and theoretical activities.

He set forth an idea that the single-hearted unity is the mainstay for the revolution and successfully achieved the unity of the leader, Party and masses in thinking and purpose, morality and sense of obligation.

There are state leaders in each country but there is no a distinguished leader like him who made a history of loving care for the people in the spirit of devotion to them.

The self-supporting economy and defence capabilities which he had cemented are valuable asset for building a powerful socialist country.

He also successfully settled the issue of succession to the leadership, which comes to be an immortal exploit that opened a rosy future of the DPRK, concludes the article.
