He defeated two imperialisms in one generation and built a powerful socialist state on ruins of war.

When visiting factories, he shook hands with workers and asked about their wishes and when visiting farms, he brightly smiled to see swaying rice ears.

Hearing the news that good hauls were made in the east sea, he sang a folk song about fishery.

When he inspected an army unit, he took a photo of a soldier and gave him three copies for his family, his company and his future wife.

After enjoying schoolchildren's New Year performance, he said that he felt ten years younger and danced with them.

Even in his last days he made on-the-spot guidance tour and signed a document concerning the country's reunification.

His bright smile is still encouraging the Korean people in their effort for the building of a great, prosperous and powerful nation.
