Chairman Kim Jong Il's Long Journey for Country and People
Pyongyang, December 14 (KCNA) -- With the tenth anniversary of Chairman Kim Jong Il's demise approaching, the people in the DPRK recall the history of his devoted efforts for the country and the people.

In his lifetime, the Chairman visited more than 14,290 units across the country, traveling the long distance of 669,844 kilometers equivalent to going round the earth 17 times.

In the course, he personally drove a car more than 400 kilometers in a day to visit the frontline units and made a forced march in the blizzards of winter and the sweltering weather and a ceaseless high-intensity forced march to raise the flames of revolutionary upswing in the whole country.

Such revolutionary anecdotes as "short and uncomfortable sleep and rice-ball" and "field haircut" came into being on the road of long journey for field guidance.

The history of his journey of field guidance and devotion to the country and the people is now being given continuity by the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un.

The General Secretary inspected the Panmunjom and Persimmon-Tree Company, visited by the Chairman, and had photo sessions with servicepersons. When Taechong-ri in Unpha County of North Hwanghae Province and Sinpho City and Hongwon County of South Hamgyong Province were hit by natural disasters, he came to the areas to take relief measures.

Witnessing such touching scenes, the DPRK people hardened their firm will to glorify the revolutionary life and immortal feats of the Chairman forever and build a powerful socialist nation of Juche without fail under the guidance of the General Secretary.
