KIM IL SUNG MEMORIAL DAY

JULY 8, 1994 - COMRADE KIM IL SUNG MEMORIAL DAY - THE GREAT LEADER OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE, FATHER OF THE NATION, THE ETERNAL PRESIDENT OF THE DPRK, SUPREME COMMANDER, GENERAL-SECRETARY OF THE WORKERS’ PARTY OF KOREA (WPK) UNTIL JULY 1994.


Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung went down in history as the liberator of the Korean nation from Japanese colonial rule, as the savior of her great ancient - five thousand years of history and culture, that according to a plan the Japanese invaders had to put an end to in the twentieth century. Japanese eroded the Korean people from everything that was national, prohibited the carrying out of national customs, the use of native Korean language, making the Korean people their slaves. In his early teenage years, Comrade Kim Il Sung embarked on the path of revolutionary struggle and vowed to free the Korean people from Japanese oppressors. By organizing the armed guerrilla groups and intense heavy anti-Japanese struggle, he created a revolutionary people's army, which became the basis of the Korean People's Army - a powerful defender of his country and an active builder of a prosperous Korean socialist state.

The Day of July 8 in the DPRK is not a day of mourning. Rather it is a day of boundless expression of gratitude and respect to the people’s beloved Great Leader - Comrade Kim Il Sung, who as Great Kim Jong Il says, "always live with us!". And the memorial Kymsusansky palace, where the sarcophagus with the body of the Great Leader lies, not a mausoleum in the usual sense, but a hymn of eternal glory of a great man, a hard worker who discovered the path of light for the Korean nation of an independent life. Kymsusansky Palace is a hymn to the triumph of life over death, a symbol of strength and greatness of the Korean spirit, because the idea of the Great Leader today is fully implemented by the talented successor of his cause, Great KIM JONG IL.

How great the respect is for the memory of the Great Leader can be judged by who visits the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, and lots of people visit, not just Koreans but foreigners also, where they are personally acquainted with the multifaceted activities of Kim Il Sung, they see a huge number of state awards, which was awarded this great, simple and very humble man. Today's Korea is the implementation of the covenants of Kim Il Sung. This is great housing, excellent sports palaces, palaces, sciences, arts, theatres, modern libraries, monumental buildings, a beautiful environment in urban areas, cleanliness and order everywhere, trees and flower beds in the cities - this is the appearance of modern DPRK. The capital of the DPRK, Pyongyang, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world with beautiful environment, which none of the capitals of Europe can be proud of. People in the DPRK live in peace, having confidence in the future secured by the state, enjoying free medical care at modern levels of health development and achievements. There are no problems with comfortable accommodation for every Korean. Everyone is entitled to state-guaranteed free secondary and higher education. The system of free preschool is well-developed. A lot of attention and care is given by the state to health, safety and lives of mothers. Taxes in Korea do exist. The problem of its own food supply in a country where 80% of the area is rock and unsuitable for agriculture is almost solved. The DPRK is now a country with a developed economy and energy, able to decide for itself all questions of life support in a state of prolonged economic blockade. The Korean People's Army (KPA) equipped with modern weaponry, including nuclear, safe guards the peaceful labour of DPRK citizens.

Kim Il Sung was a man from the depths of the people, and therefore his whole life was connected with the people. He constantly travelled around the country, visited the most remote villages and towns, and therefore knew and felt the people, their concerns and aspirations. People paid him with sincere love and boundless confidence. Kim Il Sung gave a lot of time and effort in addressing the issue of reunification of the divided Korean nation by the U.S. invaders. He had created a lot of different projects for reunification, one of which was the creation of the Democratic Confederal Republic of Koryo. Crazy U.S. opposition to address this issue remains to this day, the US, which was first defeated by small freedom-loving socialist DPRK during the Korean War 1950-1953. U.S. ambitions are pushing them to new and emerging crimes and provocations against the DPRK. But the country, merged into the ideology of Juche and Songun politics, for more than 60 years under a gruelling inhuman economic blockade caused by the will of the U.S., stands firm and today, rallying around their leader - the Great Kim Jong Il, stands as an impregnable bastion of the North-East Asia , restraining the U.S. attempts to ignite the fire of a new world war in this region. The people of the DPRK are steadily building their own prosperous state, in spite of the U.S., and despite the pressure on it from the entire imperialist world.
