Five Red Stars Drawn as a Token of Blessing

The great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il said as follows.

"It is a source of great delight and pride for our Party and people that reliable personnel who will shoulder the future of the country are being produced in great numbers from among the new generation."

Today many children are growing up into the infant prodigies in our country. This reality is inconceivable apart from the love and care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who is paying great attention to the children.

On October 10, Juche 101 (2012), the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was reading a letter from a 5-year-old boy, called Ho Jun Hyok, at Kinmaul Kindergarten No. 1 in Moranbong District, Pyongyang(then).

Some months before, his mother had died of an incurable disease.

In the letter with his photo enclosed, the boy said that he had been studying hard without any worry and had learned to write with a pen, adding that he had sent over 150 letters to soldiers and his writing style was appreciated at a TV show.

He wrote about how he recited a poem and sang a song, expressing his firm resolve to become a soldier.

After reading the letter, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un wrote on it some words to the effect that the boy was admirable and he should become a good man in the future. Then he drew five red stars on the letter.

The news about this reply moved the people across the country, as well as the boy.

Actually the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was very busy that day, because it was the 67th founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea. At 0:00 he visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun in which President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il lie in state. Then he spent the whole day giving important instructions on the celebrations of the significant anniversary.

His reply to the letter from an ordinary child reflected his warm affection for children and his steadfast determination to translate their beautiful dreams into reality.

To be sure, our children's future will be bright and broad by the ardent love and devotion of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.
