Leader Kim Jong Il Is Our Father: Deputy to Local Assembly
Pyongyang, January 23 (KCNA) -- Schoolchildren's New Year Performance "The Country with Eternal Sun" is taking place in Pyongyang.

The program includes a real story telling "Our Father".

All of its performers were blessed by leader Kim Jong Il.

They are Ri Chuk Bok, a daughter of an unconverted long-term prisoner, Min Hong Dan, a daughter of a discharged soldier living in Taehongdan County, Ryanggang Province, Ri Kyong Yon, a son of a serviceperson, Ko Hu Hoe, a daughter of a road sweeper and Ryu So Gum, a child from the Kwangmyongsong Saltern.

They introduced the meaning of their names. With pictures of leader Kim Jong Il with them appearing in the stage background, the audience burst into tears, sorely missing him.

The audience was also choked with tears, recollecting all pains taken by the leader for the country and the people.

Ko Hu Hoe, a 12-year-old schoolgirl of Sinchong Secondary School in Jagang Province, said:

"When Leader Kim Jong Il stopped to meet our family on the way of field guidance, I was sleeping on my mother's breast. I, sweeping the Kubong Pass, had waited for him to come again. I will be a road sweeper of the Kubong Pass and meet with the dear respected Kim Jong Un on the pass."

Her mother Kim Ok Sil, a deputy to the Jagang Provincial People's Assembly, said:

"I can never forget a broad smile of leader Kim Jong Il meeting our family on Kubong Pass.

At that time he highly praised us as patriots valuing the interests of the county and the people more than ours.

I will bring up my children well and make them carry forward the tradition of our patriotic family."
