Chairman Kim Jong Il, Father of All People
Pyongyang, February 16 (KCNA) -- Foreigners have sent floral baskets to the statues of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il on the occasion of the Day of the Shining Star (February 16, birthday of the Chairman) every year.

Among them is Jindallae Saphariny, president of the Jindallae Children's Foundation. This Palestinian woman, well known among the Korean people, has called the Chairman father from her childhood.

Loving care shown by the Chairman for her and her family transcended differences in ideology, social system, race, nation, political view and religion.

Her parents could not fulfill their wish of having their child at various famous hospitals in the world in the 1980s.

Their wish came true in the DPRK. The wife of Mustafa Al Safarini (father of Jindallae), who was a diplomatic envoy of Palestine staying in Pyongyang in Juche 74 (1985), gave birth to her pretty daughter at the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital.

At that time, the couple sent a letter of thanks to the Chairman and requested him to name their daughter.

Greatly pleased with her birth, the Chairman named their daughter "Jindallae" and sent gifts to her.

And he sent gifts to Jindallae on her birthday every year.

When he came to know through Jindallae's letter that her girl friend was suffering from an illness, the Chairman took measures to bring her to the DPRK for curing the disease. The girl met her parents after recovering from the illness.

Indeed, the Chairman was the benevolent father who took warm care of all people with his gifted noblest virtue and humanity.
