Rodong Sinmun Calls upon Officials to Devotedly Serve People
Pyongyang, October 29 (KCNA) -- Believing in people as in Heaven was the lifelong motto of President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in an article.

The article goes on:

If there is an almighty being in this world, it is not God but people and one should pluck even a star and bring a flower into bloom even on a rock if this is what they desire. This was the noble outlook on the people cherished by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

They made endless journeys for field guidance for the happiness of the people all their lives, bearing this maxim in mind.

Thanks to their ardent love for the country and its people and outlook on the people in which they regarded people as Heaven, their patriotic devotion to the people brought them joy and happiness and unfolded a legendary epic of love for the people.

An official who regards the people as Heaven, enshrining their outlook on the people, can become a genuine servant of people, the person who works day and night and shoulders upon oneself heavier burden than any others for the improvement of the people's living standard.

All the officials should devotedly work for the happiness of the people, true to the Workers' Party of Korea's politics of love for the people, and thus glorify their lives as genuine servants of the people, being called "our officials" by them, concludes the article.
