Rodong Sinmun:With Gem-pure Loyalty
Kim Yong Ok, living in Neighborhood Unit No. ９ of Tongdaewon-dong No. １ in Tongdaewon District, has been keeping it as part of her life to visit the mosaic depicting the peerlessly great men in her district to pay tribute to them and tidy up the surroundings for ages.
She took up this work over 20 years ago.
At that time, she was working as a medical worker and took good care of health and life of a special-class disabled soldier and did other laudable deeds for the society and collective, which was highly appreciated by the Party.
Hardly repressing the excitement at the motherly Party’s love and trust, she visited the statue of President Kim Il Sung on Mansu Hill that day.
She paid tribute to the statue and tidied up the surroundings of the statue, and at the same time hardened her will to repay the Party’s love and benevolence throughout her life.
The road of loyalty which started thus has never stopped since then.
Once, her children wanted to prepare a birthday party for her.
However, Kim Yong Ok dissuaded them and, instead, prepared tools necessary for the management of the surroundings of the mosaic.
From 10-odd years ago, her granddaughter joined her.
Now, Kim has reached her seventies and her granddaughter, who had started the work as a primary school pupil, has grown to be a university student.
However, they remain just the same in their loyalty.
Lots of people respect Kim Yong Ok, who is devoting gem-pure sincerity to the road of loyalty for holding President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il in high esteem.

VOK:Paying Attention Even to a Small Brand
One day in July 2015, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the then Rangnang Hygiene Products Factory.
Looking at the products on display with pleasure, he gave an undeserved estimation that those who had used the products of the factory say they are the best.
After a while, he carefully looked at a product and pointed out that its brand did not look cultured and good and that the calligraphic style of the brand letters was not nice-looking.
He said trademarks should be made in a noble and cultured way in conformity with the aesthetic tastes and emotion of the people.
Saying that the flower drawn on the ground of the product of the factory is not a flower peculiar to our country, he gave detailed instructions on improving the brand. (…)
But it is the noble intention of Kim Jong Un that everything to be used by the people should be completed on the highest level in conformity with their demands and interests no matter how small it may be.

Stalin has passed away. The ardent heart of the great leader of progressive mankind has ceased to beat. This sad news has spread over Korean territory like lightning, inflicting a bitter blow to the hearts of millions of people. Korean People's Army soldiers, workers, farmers and students, as well as all residents of both South and North Korea, have heard the sad news with profound grief. The very being of Korea has seemed to bow down, and mothers who had apparently exhausted their tears in weeping for the children they had lost in the bombing of the air bandits sobbed again.
-Kim Il Sung, 10th of March 1953.
